Bridal Portfolio Photo Shoot

We had a super fun bridal portfolio shoot - 3 gorgegous models - designer wedding gowns - hair and make up artists - wonderful lighting set ups and an awesome wedding venue that is a renovated Victorian home in Kennesaw Georgia. It was raining out, so we kept everything inside of the house which is fine since it was hot and humid outside. In case you are wondering, I am fully capable of setting up similar lighting set ups on location if time and space permits for your session. As you can see, if you schedule enough time for your photography, you can get some really nice images.  When planning your session or wedding day, discuss with me what is important to you.  Now of course if all you want is documentary type coverage, then none of that applies and we just capture the real moments as they happen.  I do highly encourage you to at least give up some time for good images though because those are the ones that will end up on your wall and definitely in your coffee table book, maybe even on the cover of your book.

Another Atlanta Botanical Garden Event

This time it was a much bigger affair than the other time I photographed at the Atlanta Botanical Garden and it is pretty much the exact opposite time of the year.  The gardens were in full bloom being it is July.  We were in Day Hall for a wedding reception in the evening time.  It's a lovely venue that is very versatile.

Recent Shoots

I have been doing a few shoots recently that are not necessarily wedding related, but in a round about way they are.  My husband was the DJ/Emcee for this couple's wedding at the start of last year.  I made arrangements with them to do their pregnancy and newborn photo sessions.  And wouldn't you know it, this beautiful little baby girl was born on their first wedding anniversary.

Pregnancy Portraits... Something New

I had an opportunity to do some pregnancy / maternity portraits and we had a lot of fun with the session.  I enjoyed editing these images too.  I am sure I will be doing more of these sessions.

A Family Wedding

My stepdaughter actually got married a few years ago, but she and her husband recently rededicated their lives to Christ and decided they also wanted to renew their wedding vows and have a real church wedding which was a few days ago.  I offered to take some pictures for them and we got several really good images from our short time together at the church.

Always Learning More about Wedding Photography

I am in constant study about photography whether it is lighting, post processing, technique, posing, etc. There is so much information in regard to photography. I was invited to attend a seminar with top wedding photographer Denis Reggie and had the opportunity to attend last night. It was a great seminar and I learned more about how to achieve a more natural light even with the use of flash. I already knew a little bit about the technique, but Denis filled in the gaps of information I didn't know before. The seminar was sponsored by Canon.... and I bet you can guess that I have added a few more lenses to my ever growing wish list. I think my favorite part about the seminar was the discussion about wedding photojournalism, finding the moments and documenting them without interference from the photographer. Also hearing that excessive "photoshopping" is not reality. Even though I know how to do a lot of that stuff, I tend to lean more towards reality in my photography.
