• Epic Tales…

  Of Ballerinas and Road Cones….
  

  Just got in a few days ago from a weekend trip to Atlanta, GA
  to shoot Jeremy and Liz’s wedding… Shockingly enough, this was
  my 9th weekend on the go with just a few days at home between
  them. It’s been such a crazy summer!!

  I’m home now for a few more days but I’m thinking seriously about
  taking a car trip up the Coast toward Northern Cali, OR one down
  South to Mexico… We shall see!

  In the meantime… (And before I pass out from exhaustion)
  Let me share a few images and a video from this weekend’s shooting.
  It was SUCH a blast! Plus, some of the images I captured I’d have to
  say are certainly in my list of all time favorites.

  I liked them so much in fact, that I made my first EVER video slideshow…
  I think I’ll be making a habit of this… Whaddya say, do you like it?

  Pretty darn cool, eh?!

  And now, the photo highlights for those of you who want to see
  things a bit larger (in no particular order )

  
  So Happy Together!!
  
  

  All Smiles…
  (And ready for her dress!)

  

  See?
  Told you she was ready….

  

  
  And now for her close-up(s)…

  
  

  Don’t you just love her pointe shoes?!
  But wait.. Let’s see ‘em in action.

  

  As you can see, the Church had an awesome parking garage
  attached… AND it had reasonably good light that was just begging
  for a little contrast / off camera flash work…

  

  
  
  A Bride with Attitude…
  
  

  Doesn’t she just look so stinkin’ saucy?!
  (She really is a bit of a sharp one It’s awesome!)

  As I looked around the garage we tried to find a few cool props
  that might make for an interesting shot… We found ‘em, though
  they came with their own complications

  
  Push!

  

  The golf cart… I had this great, crazy shot in mind, but ya’ see…
  The Church was smart enough to pull the keys out of the carts
  before they parked them, leaving our wedding party to push it up
  the slope… (Luckily, they’re all incredibly good sports, haha!)

  And this is what came of it…

  

  Other fun props…
  “Dunces?”

  

  I absolutely love Andrew (the groomsman on the far left)’s expression…
  Priceless!

  Of course the girls loved the Groom as much as the guys liked the Bride:

  
  
  *Time And Location Swap = Over*
  And yet, a few of them got this wild idea that it might be “cool”
  to climb on the wires (in their high heels) – Who ever could have
  given them THAT thought?!

  

  See it Larger.

  *Time Shift*
  The best man happened to be the Groom’s brother… Summarily:

  
  “Brothers and Sisters – Husbands and Wives”

  

  Pretty cool, eh?

  Of course, I shot a bunch of headshots for everyone involved,
  hmm let me pick a few:

   
  

  Purty (and wonderful) people!

  
  *Time And Location Jump*
  The reception was held in a beautiful little art gallery in Marietta, GA.
  Was a perfect venue for this crowd too

  

  We had lots of fun
  “Peanut Butter Jelly!”

  

  
  Departure:

  

  
  “Oh ya’ the rings”

  

  And this was the first time I’ve ever been asked to shoot the Groom
  carrying his new Bride across their threshold… Was a cool shot, and
  well worth chasing the limo into Atlanta I think

  

  (But then, I just love the mirror!)

  And that’s all for now folks….
  Could really use your prayers for Wisdom, endurance, love, hope and kindness
  in my life right now… How can I be praying for you?

  

  
  P.S. Alright… Fess up… Which was your favorite photo?!
