Ryan & Chi

Monday, May 29th, 2006

Yesterday I second-shot a beautiful wedding with my friend Matt Adcock at Barnsley Gardens Resort about an hour north of Atlanta.

The grounds were stunning but Ryan and Chi were amazing and obviously very much in love.

Love notes...

They cried a lot.

For those pre-ceremony jitters…

Details, details, details...

So let me tell you about Witold Tulodziecki. Matt and I were totally blown away by this guy. Think Ottmar Liebert — perfect garden wedding relaxing take a sip of something kind of music. Highly recommended…

So totally thanks to Matt for inviting me to come out and play.

I was never this excited about a toothbrush…

…but when I was little, my toothbrush never had batteries!

Grandma gave them these cool little toothbrushes and can you tell they like them?

Now come on, admit it! He’s about the cutest kid ever.

From these photos you’d think we live in a bedtime utopia… uh, not. It’s like when a bride sees her photos for the very first time and she’s like “I don’t remember that! That’s awesome!” That’s how I want to remember bedtimes in my photos :)

“I’m not tired. I’m Super Guy!!!”

Take care…

Pure Fashion Show

Thursday, May 4th, 2006

As I’ve mentioned before, I am honored to have been involved this year with the Pure Fashion Show as the official photographer. This year’s show was really fantastic on a lot of different levels — from the behind the scenes to the star power involved.

Naturally some of my favorite stuff went on behind the scenes. Like David Foster playing…

I wish David Foster would come to my place and hang out…

I am going to write more about Christina in another post but here’s a cool moment I caught while the crowds unknowingly filed into the ballroom on the other side of the curtain just before the show. It’s 12:30 and Christina is rehearsing for the first time with David Foster just one hour before she takes the stage.

I always say, you can’t go wrong with pictures of the little ones

One of the cooler moments of the show for me was when the models lined up in silhouette to start the show…

Showtime!

Of course you gotta have models…

Colleen won the design contest and walked away with her own prom dress made by a hollywood designer. You want to take bets that her mom cried?

A very special thanks to my OSP friends Nathan & Amber Holritz and Liana Lehman for helping me with the photography coverage.
