My 08.08.08 wedding was an absolute blast! I had so much fun with this couple, the wedding party, and their friends and family. It was an intimate wedding up in Gainesville, and the bride and groom are just two of the nicest people I've ever met. They are all a bunch of goofballs too, so I fit right in. :D
This is actually the first wedding I've ever shot completely solo, and I was feeling it the next day. My back was KILLING me. I think I'm getting too old for this stuff. :D
Anyway, I posted tons of photos over on my Eclectic Photo blog, and I hope you'll go take a peek. :) I also hope you all had a great weekend!
One of my favorite shots from the night...
It was a jam-packed weekend, and I'm actually kind of relieved Monday is here. LOL
Friday night my family and I had our family portrait taken by AltF. It was a lot of fun, and I can't wait to see the photos! :)
Saturday was full of family stuff the first half of the day, and then I had a maternity session that afternoon. The studio is not air-conditioned back in the shooting space, so it gets pretty freaking hot in there. The owner is about to bite the bullet and have one installed, and I have to tell you...I cannot WAIT. He currently has one of those fans that cools water and blows it into the space, but all it does it add to the humidity back there. Blech.
Anyway, my summer sessions tend to be rather short because it's just miserable back there. But this mom-to-be was a total trooper and didn't mind the heat for the most part. We were there for a little over two hours, and she really put me to work! :D It was fun despite the heat, and I got a lot of photos I love. Most of them aren't safe for work, though, so I can't post them. But I do love the way this one turned out:
I cannot believe school starts in a week! I'm looking forward to some quiet time during the day, but I am NOT looking forward to waking up at 6am again. Yuck. :P
I second shot for another local Atlanta wedding photographer this past weekend. The wedding had both an American and Hindu ceremony, so it was a crazy day! The wedding was absolutely beautiful, though, and I had a great time...even if I'm paying for it today. LOL
My favorite photo from the (11 hour) day:
Isn't she stunning? There are more on my blog, too. :)
Well, since all the cool kids were doing it, I decided to redo my Eclectic Photo blog design. I wanted a wider format with a flash header, and I wanted a drop-down menu instead of sidebars. With a little help (ok, a lot of help!) I was able to get all those things and more. Please take a peek and let me know what you think!
I still need to tweak a few things, but I'm really happy with the way it turned out. :)
I had a fantastic engagement session down at Piedmont Park yesterday evening with K and D. The weather was MUCH more cooperative than it's been for me in the past, and I'm really happy with the way their photos turned out. These two are just adorable and they were a lot of fun to work with. I have no doubt their wedding is going to be so much fun. :)
I had the pleasure of photographing an expectant mom this past weekend with the cutest belly. Ever. I know she felt huge, but her belly was just so freaking photogenic! It was perfectly round and just so cute.
I feel like I'm really behind blogging about my recent client sessions. I need an office manager or something to keep me on top of things. LOL
Well, I did it. I survived my first Hindu wedding as the primary photographer! :-D
I feel like I'm finally beginning to hone my photographic style. And while I love that I'm finally developing my own style, I also feel like I'm shooting the same things over and over and over. I believe you have to show what you want to shoot (don't we all?), but it can be a challenge to find a willing model to help put the creative process in motion. Thankfully I had a fantastic client this weekend who was an adventurous soul who was happy to do just that. :-)
Last night I met up with my recent newborn session family to do a take two of sorts. I goofed the first time around and really did not get any family shots. Or any shots of the baby with just his dad. I know how it happened...I usually get into a rhythm when shooting and we had a few interruptions so I just forgot what I had and had not shot.
