I knew from the day that I met Jennifer and Jeff that I wanted to shoot their wedding. Pretty much the entire wedding day confirmed what I thought when I met them… Jennifer was all about having a fabulous time on her wedding day and Jeff was going to make sure that happened. From the kids to the family to the guests, everyone had a great time!
This was the first time that I had covered a wedding at the Biltmore Ballrooms since their electrical fire the day before the last wedding I shot there. This was also my first time working a wedding with Ashley from Ashley Baber Weddings. We had worked other events together where Bold American had asked me to shoot decor imagery, but never a wedding together. As I suspected she would, she did a stellar job and made everything flow smoothly. [As an aside, I'm going to do a blog post soon about why you absolutely need to hire a wedding planner if you are a bride getting married.]
Check out these shoes that Bryan Scott shot. Do they have attitude or what?
Okay, I have to admit that this isn’t the most artistic picture in the world, but wanted to include it because I was so impressed with the job that Celso’s did. This cake was immaculate!
Isn’t Jennifer STUNNING!
Here’s the exit shot that I’ve talked about before and that I’ve grown to really love and appreciate…
About a year and a half ago, I was fortunate enough to shoot Christina and Mike’s wedding in Atlanta. Up until then Christina had been working as a physical therapist on tour with the stage production of The Lion King. One of her co-workers and good friends was Katie, the bride you’ll see in just a moment…
Katie flew in for that wedding and when I met her I was touched by how close she and Christina obviously were. I was absolutely thrilled that she asked me to shoot her wedding in Kings Park, NY on Long Island. You’ll notice below and in the slideshow that they’re Skype’ing with their friends who are still on tour and are just minutes away from going on stage.
This is one of my favorite images that Huy captured on the wedding day. I just love the composition.
I’m quite certain Huy had a great time shooting the guys most of the afternoon. They’re like a walking movie set.
I first met Valerie and Will a few years ago when I covered her sisters wedding in Charlotte, NC — Natalie and Ben. Way back then, Valerie and Will had just had their son Jude and a lot has changed since then. Jude has gotten a lot bigger and Valerie is getting ready to launch Blanqi a maternity fashion apparel company that I’ve produced imagery for and that will launch on Nordstrom.com in a few weeks.
As you take a look at their slideshow, you’ll notice that not only does Valerie have the coolest vintage dress ever – there aren’t many women who can pull it off like she did — she changed during the reception into a more modern and fun dress. Take a look and leave a comment below…
Sometimes we catch the funniest moments at weddings and sometimes they’re a lot more embarrassing than this one (and those you’ll never see). This is one of my former grooms, Ben, and the bride’s brother hamming it up. I figure it’s okay to post this since they obviously wanted the moment documented…
Coming off the holidays and with all the industry events in the last month I’ve been a little bit slow with updating weddings on the blogging lately.
Here’s a quick peak into Melissa and Rafael’s wedding. They got married at St. Benedict Catholic Church and held their reception at the Alpharetta Athletic Club, which was quite beautiful. Of course, Huy came out to capture some beautiful images for Melissa and Rafael.
Some of my favorites images are sometimes little vignettes, or peaks into a larger world. I particularly love it when they give you a sense of closeness or intimacy. Sometimes that closeness is feeling like you’re close to the subject in the image, like you’re part of their world for a few moments, like you’ve been given a glimpse into a sacred or private moment…
And other times the emotion you’re experiencing is the closeness and intimacy between the bride and groom…
Then sometimes the opposite vantage point of distance and the moment of intimacy that interrupts the grand landscape give you the same sense of awe about the moment you see before you…
