Katie & Nathan - Welcome, North Carolina Wedding

July 21, 2008 – 11:41 pm

That’s correct, Welcome NC. I hadn’t heard of it either until I met Katie & Nathan late last year. They both live in Greensboro but the church in Welcome, NC holds special significance for them. As I enjoy traveling, I was definitely excited about the trip and looked forward to this weekend.

Nathan & Katie are one of the sweetest couples I know. It had been a while since I saw them last and I’m sure Nathan got a good chuckle when I kept looking for him with no luck. Well, shaving the beard off didn’t help me out any either. :) They brought their own officiant into the church and it was a great sermon. Giving advice on keeping a healthy marriage (Go to bed at the same time, occasionally sacrifice your own desires for those of your partner, and hit the pub every once in a while to relax). :)

We had a great time working together and it’s sad I only post a few images of the day on my blog. There are so many more to choose from… well, with that being said, on to the photos!

    Brian,
    The pics look amazing. Katie and I are checking up on things at an internet cafe here in San Juan. So excited to see how some of these pictures came out. You are truly THE MAN! Thanks for being a joy to work with and for bringing your gifts to our once-in-a-lifetime experience!

A day with Tero Sade…

July 16, 2008 – 11:11 pm

Well, more like a long afternoon.  On Monday I traveled to Charlotte, NC for a one-day seminar with Tero Sade.  You probably don’t know the name unless you’re a photographer, or live in Australia or Tasmania, or both.  Tero is a very, very successful portrait photographer who can claim he has built not one, but two multi-million dollar portrait studios from scratch.  He was lecturing on the business of portrait photography and described the marketing and promotions that worked for him.

Of course, we got to see his work as well which is fantastic (always helps), but I really came away with some ideas for marketing and promoting my business for both portraits and weddings.

Alas, I didn’t bring my camera but I did capture one shot of my nametag.  :)

Amber & Nick - Raleigh, NC Wedding

July 15, 2008 – 11:56 pm

I met Amber late last year and talked about her wedding day. It was slightly bittersweet for me as her fiance’ was overseas in active duty. Nick is in the air force and was in an active duty role while his bride to be planned their wedding. I can’t possibly imagine the worries Amber went thru while Nick was still deployed but all turned out for the best and Nick made it home safe and sound.

So it turns out the day of the wedding was the first time I had ever met Nick. We got to know each other a bit while I photographed and, while talking, I tried to hide my amazement that somehow, almost every groomsman he had was taller then I was (and I’m 6′5″).

The wedding took place in downtown Raleigh at the 1st presbyterian church and the reception was held at the Crabtree Marriott. It was an absolutely gorgeous day and Amber was a breathtaking bride! I really enjoyed working with the both of them and their families. I look forward to their return from the honeymoon to show off some of the amazing photos we were able to capture on their joyous occasion.

Kim & Kentraille - Engagement session

July 3, 2008 – 9:13 pm

I met Kim & Kentraille through a former bride I photographed last December. When they told me they wanted an engagement session, Immediately got excited as they are both very affectionate people and I knew the e-session would be one to remember! We decided on photographing in Yates Mill Pond Park - In Raleigh, NC as they are both outdoors lovers and the park has such a beautiful backdrop. They also love playing scrabble so I asked them bring a game along so we could integrate it into the shoot.

As we went thru the session I really lost track of time as it was such a pleasure working with the both of them. I’m really looking forward to their wedding in August!

As always, here are a few shots from the session:

Well, that didn’t turn out so well…

July 2, 2008 – 1:18 am

If you’ll remember, I made a blog entry a while back about changing over my proofing and ordering solution to a better & more streamlined product.  Well, after a short trial and great feedback from my customers, it turns out it wasn’t so great.  But, good news!  I have implemented a high end system which allows you to view, order, crop and make payment arrangements all in one shot.

You’ll still access it from the same place and I hope you are as excited as I am about the new system.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns about the new system!
