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…
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…
Every so often Steve Bales from Bold American Catering gives me a ring and asks me to capture some images of decor they are doing for a corporate or social event. Occasionally, this means I’m not the “official” photographer for a wedding but I still have the pleasure of taking my time and capturing some really beautiful images of the simply amazing work that Steve and his team at Bold American churn out, event after event.
Here are just a few images from a wedding reception at the Piedmont Driving Club put together by Susan Graham Signature Events. In fact, this first image shows a few of the letter press RSVP’s that Susan put together for the bride and groom…
I’m going to keep this one short and sweet so that you can get on with watching the slideshow. But I have to show you this one image because it pretty much sums up their reception. Skotti and Tony came out dancing to You’re the First, the Last, My Everything by Barry White, which you’ll hear in the slideshow. CLEARLY Skotti didn’t get the memo about traditional first dance songs.
Check out the slideshow… and don’t forget to watch it full-screen with the icon in the bottom right corner.
