			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ahh..  the fall.  I&#8217;ve written about this before but, well, as it&#8217;s my favorite time of year, I will bring it back up again.  Fall in North Carolina has one stunning feature, the bluest skies of the year.  So, of course, when Cindy &amp; Adam hired me for their <a href="http://www.southernbrideandgroom.com/banquet.shtml">downtown Raleigh wedding</a>, I was very excited because of their ceremony location, Sacred Heart Cathedral in downtown Raleigh offers some beautiful scenery to shoot their wedding portraits, both inside and out.</p>
<p>We started off their wedding day at the <a href="http://www.marriott.com/hotels/event-planning/wedding-planning/rdunc-raleigh-marriott-crabtree-valley/" target="_blank">Crabtree Valley Marriott</a>, where Cindy and Adam were in two different suites getting ready.  Ginger Mullins, a vary talented <a href="http://www.gingermullins.com" target="_blank">Hair &amp; Makeup artist in Raleigh</a>, and my wife, was doing Cindy&#8217;s wedding hair and airbrushed her makeup to make her even more radiant.  While Cindy was preparing, Adam and the guys were in their room playing with a toy helicopter so much that, when I got there, it was on a charger (for the 2nd time I believe).  That is one thing I really love about weddings, such stark contrast from the bride&#8217;s room to the grooms.</p>
<p>We headed over to Sacred Heart for the wedding ceremony.  I can honestly say, Sacred Heart is one of the most gorgeous wedding locations in the area and the staff is so accommodating and pleasant to work with that is really is a pleasure to shoot weddings here.  The ceremony had a great couple of moments, one being a family relative was brought up to perform part of it.  I didn&#8217;t verify but the feeling I got was this was unscripted and, judging by the prompting, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">no one</span> knew about it before hand.</p>
<p>After the ceremony, we headed down to Fayetteville St to shoot a few wedding day photos with the bride, groom and bridal party.  That&#8217;s really the great thing about a downtown Raleigh wedding, all of the locations you can walk to in such a short period of time.  After the wedding portrait photo session, we headed back to the Crabtree Valley Marriott for their wedding reception.</p>
<p>One common theme I had picked up on throughout the evening was how great all of Adam&#8217;s and Cindy&#8217;s friends are.  I could definitely see how close everyone at the wedding was and I got to experience a few of the inside jokes &#8211; from Justin Bieber cd&#8217;s as wedding gifts to a little Karaoke voice mail.  After the parent dances and cake cutting, the dance floor blew up (Thanks to Mitch from <a href="http://www.bunndjcompany.com/our-staff/mitch-woodard/" target="_blank">Joe Bunn DJ</a>) and, as the night wore on, I saw, for the first time, a, well, &#8220;forced&#8221; garter toss. Cindy had decided she didn&#8217;t want to toss the garter and, well, her friends decided otherwise, so they dragged her out on the floor (again, great friends) to do it.</p>
<p>I want to send my sincerest Thank You to Cindy, Adam, their families and friends for your gracious hospitality and open your family to me on their wedding day.  It was a real honor to capture such a special day for everyone.  Of course, here are a few photos.  <img src='http://www.brianmullinsphotography.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since  deciding to pursue  <a href="http://www.highschoolseniorphotographers.com/north-carolina/raleigh/" target="_blank">Senior Portraits in Raleigh NC</a> the response from area high school seniors has been overwhelming. Wow!  That&#8217;s all I can say for this one.  Photographing seniors is a huge artistic release for me as I don&#8217;t have the time constraints I normally do with other types of photography and, artistically speaking, I can definitely follow a vision to completion and make a great connection with my client!</p>
<p>I love mixing up my style a bit for my my senior portraits in Raleigh NC.  This gives us good safe photos to begin the session with then we can get more creative, edgy and fun as the session goes on.  This works really well for a few reasons, the most important being my client and I get more comfortable with each other through the session.  I have so much fun with senior portrait sessions because we are all out to have a good time and get great photos, both go hand in hand and my latest session was no different.</p>
<p>When Emily and her Mom and I initially met, we decided to have the session in an open field and barn near my house.  They moved from Kansas recently to the Raleigh area and wanted to keep a &#8220;Kansas&#8221; feel to the photos as many of her friends and family are still in that area and, well, that&#8217;s what she liked!  The day of the shoot we had a couple of ideas for props, such as her clarinet, books and journal, all of which are important to her.  We worked all of the elements into the shoot as well as the look and feel of Kansas.  As the day moved on and the sun went down, we definitely went to more of an edgy fashion look as with less natural light to use, it&#8217;s easier to add drama with lighting and as Emily changed into a prom dress, well, it just all fit!</p>
<p>After the session was over, I was thrilled with the results and really looking forward to shooting more <strong>senior portraits in Raleigh NC</strong> over the upcoming year.  I hope you enjoy a few choice photos below!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I met Amber late last year and talked about her wedding day at a starbucks in Raleigh NC.  It was slightly bittersweet for me as her fiance&#8217;, Nick,  was overseas in active duty but, nonetheless, it was great talking with her about her <a href="http://www.marriott.com/hotels/event-planning/wedding-planning/rdunc-raleigh-marriott-crabtree-valley/" target="_blank">Crabtree Marriott Wedding</a>.  Nick is in the air force and was in an active duty role while his bride to be planned their wedding day.  I can&#8217;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 and ready for the wedding!</p>
<p>So, as you can imagine, it was the day of the wedding when I finally met Nick.  We got to know each other a bit while I was busy with the wedding photography and, while talking, I tried to hide my amazement that somehow, almost every groomsman he had was taller then I was (and I&#8217;m 6&#8217;5&#8243;).</p>
<p>The wedding took place in downtown Raleigh NC at the 1st Presbyterian church and the reception was held at the Crabtree Marriott in Raleigh.  It was an absolutely gorgeous day and Amber made for a breathtaking bride!  I really enjoyed working with the both of them and their families through the day (and night) and  I look forward to their return from the honeymoon to show off some of the amazing wedding photos we were able to capture on their joyous occasion.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ahh..  the craziness that is the fall wedding season in <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps/place?oe=UTF-8&amp;gfns=1&amp;um=1&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;q=raleigh,+nc&amp;fb=1&amp;gl=us&amp;ftid=0x89ac5a2f9f51e0f7:0x6790b6528a11f0ad&amp;ei=_X61S5SUF4Wdlgf0vehU&amp;sa=X&amp;oi=geocode_result&amp;ct=title&amp;resnum=1&amp;ved=0CA0Q8gEwAA" target="_blank">Raleigh, NC</a>.  When I first met Susan &amp; Corey, I remembered thinking about how cool it would be photograph a <a href="http://www.second-empire.com/" target="_blank">Second Empire Wedding</a> with a small &amp; intimate gathering of close friends and family.  If you&#8217;ve never been I highly recommend you going as it is not the top rated restaurant in Raleigh by mistake.</p>
<p>With a small wedding congregation of about 20 people and the bride &amp; groom, this was a wonderfully intimate affair that (being selfish here) allowed me to really photograph Susan &amp; Corey for quite a while.  To say I am pleased with the results would be an understatement and a few of there wedding photographs will certainly be making it onto my main website.  The day started off, well, in an interesting fashion as the couple discovered the guys boutonnieres had been left behind.  I spoke with the Second Empire Manager and the found some beautiful white roses which were cut and would be perfect for the guys.  One sticking point&#8230;  pins.  We didn&#8217;t have any pins to attached the flowers to the lapels so again, we had to be resourceful.  I pulled out my trusty emergency kit and found needle &amp; thread as well as safety pins to attach them.. the day is saved!!! Of course, as I was their wedding photographer I let someone else attach them while I was photographing.</p>
<p>Let me say, I LOVE the light where Second empire weddings are generally held.  With a bay window allowing natural light in behind the couple, it adds a real ethereal quality to the wedding photos.  After the ceremony and formals, Susan, Corey &amp; myself hit the streets and photographed for quite a while in the block surrounding the restaurant.  With it being a cloudy day, the conditions were perfect for wedding photography and, again, the results are outstanding.  After we came back into the reception, champagne was popped and the cake was cut&#8230;.  well, ok, it took an effort to cut the cake.  Personally I think the cake cutter was defective (or Corey possesses Hulk like strength) but, needless to say, it didn&#8217;t survive the ordeal &#8211; see below photography of said defective knife.  A replacement was quickly found (again, thank you to the Second Empire) and we proceeded again.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d like to thank both Corey &amp; Susan for having me be their wedding photgrapher.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You may remember Erin &amp; Thij from their <a href="http://www.brianmullinsphotography.com/grove-park-inn-asheville-nc-wedding-photography.html" target="_self">Grove Park Inn wedding photography</a> earlier this year.  Unfortunately, it rained the entire day of their wedding so we didn&#8217;t get do any outdoor portraits, which was really important to them.  The week after the wedding we talked it over and decided to capture the same feel in Raleigh, NC at Yates Mill Pond in a <a href="http://www.brianmullinsphotography.com/category/day-after-session" target="_self">day after session</a>.</p>
<p>So I know it&#8217;s called a Day After Session but, well, it was actually a couple of weeks.  There is something to be said for consistency and we had to reschedule the session twice as the rain continued to follow our plans.  Finally we were able to get a break in the weather, don the wedding dress and tux (them, not me) and capture some awesome day after photography.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a few of my favorites from the day:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My next clients, Emily &amp; Mark needed a <a href="http://www.brianmullinsphotography.com/category/wedding-photography/" target="_self">Greensboro, NC wedding photographer</a> and, well, of course I&#8217;ll travel there, for their Our Lady of Grace wedding and <a href="http://greensboro.weddings.com/Local/greensboro-The-Hayloft/VendorDetail.aspx/CAR-228831" target="_blank">the Hayloft</a> wedding reception!  Just in case you missed their <a href="http://www.brianmullinsphotography.com/emily-mark-engagement-session-raleigh-nc/" target="_blank">Engagement Session photography</a>, you can recount my embarrassing statement of &#8220;You look like you belong on TV&#8221; and, guess what, she is (Weather person for Fox 8 in Greensboro, NC).  Well, their wedding date finally arrived and I thrilled to be their photographer.</p>
<p>When I first entered the church for the wedding ceremony, I was literally floored.  I love Catholic churches and this one was absolutely breathtaking.  The stonework, adornments, colors and LIGHT all make for great wedding photography. Yes, I had another church with light in it!  I have certainly withdrawn a few light credits from my wedding photography bank account so I am sure to run into a few Scottish dungeons soon.  <img src='http://www.brianmullinsphotography.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   (I love the Scots, just saying your wedding dungeons are dark!).</p>
<p>Meeting up with Emily in her dressing room was, well, exciting!  I hadn&#8217;t seen her since our engagement photography session in Raleigh and to be greeted with a warm hug and laughs just always sets a wonderful tone for the day!  Emily was still getting ready so I had a chance to get photographs of her, her shoes, close friends, families and the wedding dress!  I know I have mentioned it before but doing the wedding preparation photography is a favorite of mine&#8230; it&#8217;s just a wonderful time full of nerves, smiles, laughter and just raw emotion.  Emily certainly had all of these going on and we got some great stuff in the room.</p>
<p>While she was getting dressed, I had a few moments to catch up with Mark upstairs. Shot a few portraits of him with his best man with a beautiful stained glass window before heading back down to meet Emily.  Off to the ceremony we go (but not before grabbing a mini portrait of her in the church stairwell 5 minutes before the wedding).  The ceremony was beautiful and, let me say again, what a beautiful church and the photography aspect was gorgeous!!! After the wedding ceremony, I got my favorite exit shot of the year.  This one was not posed, just a quick kiss while they were walking out.</p>
<p>After the wedding, we headed off to the Hayloft for the wedding reception. Having never been there I was anticipating, well, shooting in a barn hayloft.  What a cool place to have a wedding reception!  We had a few minutes for more photography outside and a couple of these shots ended up on my portfolio.   After the dances &amp; dinner, the DJ got everyone moving and the Elvis impressions were unveiled (friends &amp; relatives of the couple, not the couple themselves).  A few more hours of partying and awesome photography, I capped the night off by spying on the newlyweds a bit and grabbing a few GREAT photographs of them dancing alone, outside.</p>
<p>Congratulations to you both Emily &amp; Mark!  You have both been incredible to work with and thank you so much for having me as your wedding photographer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Caitlin &amp; Justin were married on August 1st, 2009 at the Good Shepard Lutheran Church in Raleigh, NC and a <a href="http://www.marriott.com/hotels/event-planning/wedding-planning/rdunc-raleigh-marriott-crabtree-valley/" target="_blank">Crabtree Marriot Wedding</a> Reception following immediately after.  Having been talking with Caitlin over the past few months, I had been looking forward to photograph their wedding and, of course, the ensuing party!  The day started off wonderfully when I walked into the church, there was light!  When I say light, I really mean light! Sometimes I think the churches in this area when designed by the same folks who designed Scottish castles.</p>
<p>Walking down to meet Caitlin, I ran into Justin who certainly had the pre-wedding look in his eye.  Not panic or fears fellas, excitement with a twinge of nervousness.  I always thought Caitlin would make a beautiful bride and indeed she looked fabulous!  After the preparation shots of both the guys and gals, it was time to saddle up and get on with the wedding.  After the wedding and formals, the couple departed for the Crabtree Marriott.</p>
<p>Having just been here last week, I had one shot I wanted to duplicate but, other then that, I wanted fresh &amp; new stuff for us.  So after a quick tour of the grounds, we got down to the party!  The wedding was a beautiful affair and I (as always) was honored to be a small part of their wedding day.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I met Jeff &amp; Caroline in Raleigh last year to get to know them a bit and, obviously, talk about their wedding photography.  After talking for 5 minutes, I knew we were a great match and instantly looked forward to their wedding day.  So, as it is always in the wedding business, many months passed by before we actually got to the ceremony so I could hang out with everyone again.  When I walked into the bride&#8217;s room and saw the her, her bridesmaids and the wedding dress, I was floored.  Now every wedding has a beautiful &amp; radiant bride, but with a wedding party of 20, this was set to be a huge celebration and you could immediately see the amount of time that had spent making sure every details was perfect.  It also presented challenges as the church, while beautiful, was undergoing renovations in the changing areas so I hunted for a beautiful dress location.  I ended up, in all places, in a staircase.  <img src='http://www.brianmullinsphotography.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   Just goes to show you what a little creativity and the tenacity of a wedding photographer will get you.</p>
<p>After the wedding ceremony and formal photography was over, the whole crew climbed aboard the Raleigh Trolley and rode over to the Raleigh <a href="http://www.brianmullinsphotography.com/crabtree-marriott-raleigh-nc-wedding-venue" target="_self">Crabtree Marriott</a> to celebrate their marriage.  As always, the Marriott treated the couple to a wonderful event with wonderful food, impeccable service and warm hospitality.  The room was breathtaking, the food delicious and the band got things rolling after dinner with a great mix of beach and classic rock music that kept the dance floor packed.  This is one of those times I am so very happy I am so tall, as I can shoot over everyone and get the dance action in the middle of the crowd.  Jeff, Caroline and I took a few minutes to get some special shots, just for them, and I got one of my favorites from the year so far on the round sofa.</p>
<p>My words really aren&#8217;t fully giving this celebration the justice it is worthy of, so I&#8217;ll let my photos do the rest of the talking.</p>
<p>Congratulations to Jeff &amp; Caroline! What a beautiful wedding!!!  Thank you so much for allowing me to capture such a special day for you!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;One of my main priorities is the wedding photography&#8221; Kerri had told me when we initially met to discuss her wedding photography.  No problem..  I can do that. <img src='http://www.brianmullinsphotography.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   Kerri &amp; Greg&#8217;s wedding took place on June 13th, 2009 at the <a href="http://www.sacredheartcathedral.org/" target="_blank">Sacred Heart Cathedral</a> in Downtown Raleigh NC and a  <a href="http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/rdurn-renaissance-raleigh-north-hills-hotel/">Renaissance Hotel Wedding Reception</a>.  I originally met the happy newlyweds in January of this year and was so excited that they had selected, in my opinion, two of the most beautiful places in Raleigh to  hold a wedding and reception.</p>
<p>While Kerri got ready in a beautiful suite in the Renaissance Hotel in Raleigh, Greg headed over to the church in downtown Raleigh with the guys and my 2nd photographer captured them doing their thing (Won&#8217;t be posting those, sorry guys &#8211; but I see there was a table harmed in the process).  As Kerri got ready, it was very apparent how close everyone in the bridal party and family was.  A big challenge for photographers on the wedding day is finding out the relationships between everyone so we can better tell the story.  Well, with Kerri&#8217;s party, I couldn&#8217;t determine who was immediate family and who were friends &#8211; since they were all treated like family, I did the same.</p>
<p>The Sacred Heart Cathedral is beautiful and a great example of architecture in downtown Raleigh and following the ceremony, we were able to get a few quick photos in before everyone took a break. The reception picked up that evening at the Renaissance Hotel in Raleigh at North Hills and, with it being my first time there, I was very excited to check out the property.  One words comes immediately to mind &#8211; beautiful!  With the happy newlyweds and 100 of their friends and family celebrating, Kevin Majoros (Joe Bunn DJ) got the party rolling and, well, let&#8217;s just say a few pictures had to be censored for decorum purposes.</p>
<p>Congratulations to you both!  I am always honored to be chosen to both document and create artistic imagery during a wedding day &#8211; so thank you for choosing me!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anna &amp; Chris were married on June 6th, 2009 at the St. Francis UMC in Cary, NC and their reception was at the NCSU Alumni Club on the NCSU Campus in Raleigh.  I initially met Anna through a referral from the Church and was really excited to be shooting a wedding there again (You&#8217;ll see why below).  Over the months of planning and a bridal portrait session with Anna (Outside Jones Chapel on Meredith Campus in Raleigh), I really got to know a lot about both her and her family.  I decided some time ago that building these relationships were a very important part of this business, to me anyway, so I want to extend my thank you for your courtesy and generosity.  It was my absolute pleasure to capture your wedding day memories!</p>
<p>After the service, we took a few formal shots outside (thankfully the temperature had not yet been set to boil) then off to the NCSU State Club for the reception.  As many of you know, I have a real passion for photographing Architecture.  If you haven&#8217;t seen the new NCSU Alumni hall then you really need to stop by.  It&#8217;s a fantastic venue complete with twin staircases, marble floors and ornate furnishings everywhere the eye can see.  This was also my 2nd weekend in a row with the very talented and photogenic Randy Bennett from Joe Bunn DJ Company.</p>
<p>The reception flew by and after a great dinner from University Dining (also clients of mine), Randy got the crowd jumping and everyone partied the night away.  Near the end of the evening, Anna &amp; Chris celebrated their marriage in (what I personally think) the coolest fashion &#8211; by singing the NC State Fight Song.  <img src='http://www.brianmullinsphotography.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   The crowd sent the couple off in old-school fashion &#8211; with a shaving cream and vienna sausage laden car.   After my gear was packed up and I was on my way home, I got lucky and found the slightly less happy couple cleaning off their car at a local gas station&#8230;</p>
<p>Congrats to you both!  I really enjoyed being a part of your wedding day!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Katie &amp; Steve&#8217;s wedding ceremony was at the beautiful <a href="http://www.hr.duke.edu/dukegardens/" target="_blank">Sarah Duke Gardens</a> in Durham, NC with a reception following at <a href="http://www.theumstead.com" target="_blank">the Umstead Hotel</a> in Cary, NC.  The gardens are a beautiful place to have a wedding and, of course, have some wedding photography as well.</p>
<p>This year I&#8217;ve had alot of &#8220;travel&#8221; involved wedding photography clients.  Either I&#8217;m traveling to a particular destination or the bride &amp; groom are traveling here.  Katie &amp; Steve fit the profile, well, exactly.  They currently live in Texas and decided on getting married in North Carolina because of its central location to their friends and family.  I remember how difficult it was planing my own wedding so I can only imagine removing the ability to meet with people face to face.  However, on Saturday, it was obvious that all the planning, phone calls and even facebook chats (guilty) made it worth it.  With an outdoor wedding, we really kept our eyes on the sky as the forecast was calling for scattered showers.  On the ride over to Duke Gardens, Katie would look up nervously at the sky just to make sure the weather was behaving.  Once we arrived, I think the weather got the message because the sun same out and made for a beautiful ceremony.  With storm clouds approaching after the wedding, we got thru our formals and made some pretty awesome photos with the looming clouds before heading back to the Umstead Hotel.</p>
<p>After a quick trip back to the hotel,  the surprises were endless:  A helicopter grooms cake from Sweet Memories, beautifully decorated and coordinated flowers from the Watered Garden and, of course, dinner from the Umstead.  Randy from Joe Bunn DJ got the party started with dancing and Katie&#8217;s father brought the room to tears (yes, me as well) with his performance of a song he wrote for his daughter.  After the cake cutting and dancing, everyone got back to the dancing &amp; celebrating of Katie &amp; Steve&#8217;s beautiful wedding.</p>
<p>Congrats to you both!  I am honored I was present to capture your day and produce some beautiful photos for you to remember it by.  Speaking of, here&#8217;s a selection of images from the day.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Leading up to the busy wedding season, I have been working with a few fellow wedding photographers to put together a pseudo bridal/fashion/model photo shoot.  The concept behind this photographers gathering is to get a bunch of photographers, a few brides/models/willing participants, head out to a general area in downtown Raleigh and photograph bridal portraits.  I helped organize one last year and it was a wonderful success, so this year I super-sized the idea.  Here are  a few ideas on the size and scope of the event:</p>
<p>21 Wedding Photographers<br />
5 Models<br />
8 Wedding Dresses<br />
2 city blocks</p>
<p>As we laid siege to Glenwood Avenue, it was quite a sight to behold, apparently too much to behold as I did hear of one accident involving two cars, one rear ending the other just after passing one of our gorgeous brides.<br />
After 2 hours of photography, the models &amp; photographers we&#8217;re all exhausted but very happy with the end results.  In my group, we had 5 photographers working with Lena, our bride, and we visited 8 locations in two hours within 2 city blocks in downtown Raleigh.  It&#8217;s a wonderful reminder that we don&#8217;t always need green pastures or studios to get stunning portraits.</p>
<p>As always, here are a few select photos from the day!  You can learn more about the event I organized or our group which holds monthly wedding photography meetings <a href="http://www.weddingphotographicsociety.com">here</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over the winter months, when weddings slow down, I really get a chance to look at my photography business and formulate a plan on what &amp; how I want to focus on weddings for the upcoming year. Since I have two children myself and I know how much I treasure my photos of them, I thought I should check more into portraits for babies &amp; newborns.   I know I had my work cutout for me as some of the best childrens photographers in the country reside within an hour of me so I did what I used to always do, hit the books.</p>
<p>After studying up a bit on newborns &amp; young children photography, looking at countless other photographers work, I felt I could bring something to the table that would be both different and treasured by my clients.  While I love a good portrait as much as anyone, I usually prefer it to have a little more life and honesty.  After all, while the baby won&#8217;t remember anything about the surroundings at that time, I can show how his arrival affect his parents lives, and that, I believe, is truly priceless.</p>
<p>So, after studying, researching and practicing on my own kids (my cat moves to fast), I felt I was ready but I had one major issue..  no clients.  So while I had pondered on how to tackle this minor issue (this is sarcastic, really), I received an e-mail from Liz &amp; Ryan who were expecting their first child soon.  What great timing my clients have.  <img src='http://www.brianmullinsphotography.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   So after talking a bit with them both and finding out they are, literally, within walking distance of me, we setup a rough time frame and waited patiently for the little guy to make his appearance.</p>
<p>Connor Hourihan was born on May 14th, 2009.  As we setup a time to meet, it struck me what an absolute and true honor it was to be the first professional to capture his image &amp; spirit on camera.  So as I headed over to their house, I started remembering my own feelings as a father and how I could use that to photograph young Connor in such a way that, in 30 years from now, he can look back and see how his parents adored him so.  That, as they say, is why I love doing this work!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What&#8217;s a Myrtle Beach wedding with a gorgeous couple and adventurous bride without a quick dip in the ocean &#038; pool?  Wearing wedding clothes?  Well, I can&#8217;t answer as that&#8217;s exactly what we did during our day after session from my Myrtle Beach, SC Wedding.  Brittany graciously agreed to get her dress wet and sandy for some great photography.  Shawn, as he&#8217;s now married to Brittany, decided he didn&#8217;t want to be left out so we ended up with a great session that covered both the ocean and pool area at the Grand Dunes Marriott Hotel in Myrtle Beach, SC.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve always wanted to shoot a session like this and a very big THANK YOU needs to go out to my beautiful couple, Brittany &#038; Shawn, for braving the cold water and a photographer with with a vision.  <img src='http://www.brianmullinsphotography.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Brittany &amp; Shawn had their wedding at the beautiful <a href="http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/myrgd-myrtle-beach-marriott-resort-and-spa-at-grande-dunes/" target="_blank">Marriott Grand Dunes </a>in Myrtle Beach, SC on the outdoor Patio.</p>
<p>I originally met Brittany &amp; Shawn though another wedding photographer, her father, Jim.  Jim and I have talked, met for lunch and bounced ideas off of each other for the past year and a half or so.  When I found out his daughter was getting married, I jumped at the chance to photograph their wedding.  When I found it was in Myrtle Beach, well, let&#8217;s just say I got a little excited.  I&#8217;ve been wanting to photograph beach weddings for a while and even though the ceremony wasn&#8217;t on the water, we had some fun the next day with a little trash the dress session.</p>
<p>The wedding ceremony looked like it was under threat from rain but as we got closer to the start time, the wonderful beach weather kept the storms about 3 minutes inland from us.  The effect of the clouds, however, was beautiful for photography as the filtered light lent itself beautifully to blue skies and softer light on the wedding party.</p>
<p>After the wedding, we got out onto the beach for a few formals then went off to Tommy Bahamas Cafe for the reception.  Something I leaned a long time ago, is when you get put into a tough position in photography, you usually either get something &#8220;safe&#8221; or something that&#8217;s &#8220;beautiful&#8221; because of how unorthodox your solution was.  With the reception outside under umbrella covered tables and a 4 foot awning that just covered the walkway, lighting this reception was definitely a challenge.  In the end, I captured my favorite 1st dance shot to date.  With true emotion showing from everyone involved to the familiarity and friendship I have with the families, I was proud and honored to be a part of their day.</p>
<p>So, with just a little more ado, I&#8217;d like to give my congratulations to Shawn &amp; Brittany!  I wish you guys all the best and thank you for letting me be a part of your beautiful wedding.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hannah &amp; Steve had a beautiful outdoor wedding ceremony &amp; wedding reception at the Governors Club in Chapel Hill, NC on May 2nd, 2009.</p>
<p>When I first met Hannah &amp; Steve, I remember thinking how much fun it would be to work with them.  They wanted the &#8220;traditional&#8221; wedding photography to cover the main events but then they also wanted the more modern &amp; artistic photography as well, just for their own album.  As most of you can probably see, I flirt in between the photo journalism and portrait styles of wedding photography.  There actually is a name for my style &#8211; portrait journalism.  It really gives me the freedom to work with the couples and create some beautifully posed moments but still capture the true essence of modern wedding photography.</p>
<p>With Barbara Lodge officiating the ceremony under a beautiful but lightly clouded spring day, a beautiful couple &amp; wedding party and Mel Manning with Joe Bunn DJ getting the reception jumping, the day seemed to fly by!  Of course, I failed to mention myself as the wedding photographer &#8211; I really enjoyed working with the happy couple and the photography came out beautiful!  Congratulations to the happy couple and I look forward to talking with you soon!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let me first start off by saying what an awesome place Beaufort, NC is to get married.  I unfortunately didn&#8217;t get down in time to really cruise around town, but the chance I did get makes me want to go back. If you want a coastal wedding, but not necessarily on the beach, this is the place to look at!  I know of a fantastic photographer who can photograph your wedding too.  <img src='http://www.brianmullinsphotography.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Mandy &#038; David were married on the waterfront in Beaufort, NC at the historic Duncan House.  Being right on the edge of Front street, the house has water on two sides and the most amazing natural light flooding the rooms.  This, of course, makes me happy.  <img src='http://www.brianmullinsphotography.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   I arrived just as <a href="http://www.gingermullins.com">Ginger Mullins</a> was finishing up a bridemaids hair and starting on Mandy&#8217;s makeup.  Mandy, as you&#8217;ll see below, doesn&#8217;t take a bad photograph.  After a killer mini portrait session, they were married under a trellis right on the water and we celebrated under a tent also on the water.  With a kickin band, great food and a wonderful group of friends and relatives, I had quite alot of photos come from the evening!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve, as always, posted a few of my favorites from the wedding below:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s been a nice mini-vacation from photography the past couple of weeks, but wedding season is right around the corner and I&#8217;m starting to get out and enjoy this fabulous weather we&#8217;ve been having!</p>
<p>This weekend I had the amazing Anna&#8217;s bridal portrait at Meredith College.  If you;ve never been on campus, they have a beautiful chapel and an amazing lake complete with bridges, killer geese and lovely foliage!  We started the day by grabbing some photos overlooking the water and proceeded to walk around the lake. I&#8217;ll give myself 1 point for recommending Anna wear her cowboy boots instead of her shoes as we were walking in nature.  I didn&#8217;t hear it, but I&#8217;m sure her feet (and shoes) both thanked me in their own way.</p>
<p>COOL STORY ALERT &#8211; Anna&#8217;s father proposed to her mother on one of the benches overlooking the water, so of course I had to photograph them sitting back on the bench again.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a few selections from the day!  Sorry fellows, she&#8217;s already taken!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had the absolute pleasure to photograph a long time friends wedding this Friday.  Michelle, who my wife and I have known for over 10 years, was married to Jason in their home in Apex, NC.  It was a very small and intimate ceremony with their children, my wife and I in attendance.  <a href="http://raleighweddingblog.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Kayelily Middleton</a>,who specializes in on-location wedding ceremonies, officiated the cozy affair which consisted of a private ceremony held in their living room which included the vows and a sand ceremony in which the entire family poured vials on sand into a larger vase, a cake cutting and some formal photos.</p>
<p>With it being such an intimate affair, we really concentrated on the family and the celebration of Michelle &amp; Jasons wedding!  It was a real honor for my wife and I to attend with my wife doing the <a href="http://www.gingermullins.com" target="_blank">girls hair</a> and me, of course, photographing the ceremony.</p>
<p>Congratulations to you both!  Here&#8217;s a sneek peek of your photos!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, it&#8217;s March, the weather is getting warmer, the trees are starting to bloom and I&#8217;m gearing up for wedding season!  Part of my continued education, networking and personal growth plan is membership in the Triangle NACE organization (National Association of Catering Executives).  NACE holds monthly meetings at local properties where a very large part of the area venues &amp; vendors meet to network, discuss trends and also learn from distinguished speakers.  The meetings are usually great fun with great food, people and you always walk away with a better feeling of the entire market.</p>
<p>The March meeting, however, was a bit different.  The leadership of Triangle NACE pooled their talents and essentially donated a wedding &amp; reception to Josh McMinis &amp; Christina Stein &#8211; a very lucky &amp; deserving couple &#8211; with the local NACE chapter in attendance.  Held at the beautiful <a href="http://www.thesutherland.com/" target="_blank">Sutherland</a> property in Wake Forest, NC, Christina &amp; Josh were married on the lawn area under a beautiful sky and fabulous weather.  Many local vendors donated their time and efforts into providing a spectacular wedding for the happy couple including the venue, food, drinks, wedding cake, tuxedo, gown, rings, photographers, videographers, DJ, etc&#8230;  It certainly was a wonderful evening to be a NACE member and I&#8217;d like to wish my most heartfelt congratulations to both Josh &amp; Christina!</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a few photos from the evening!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s been a tremendously busy past few weeks.  So busy that I&#8217;ve really neglected my blogging.  However, I promise the lull in posts will be made up by the below photos.  Last week I was in beautiful Charleston, SC attending a workshop hosted by a local award winning photographer, <a href="http://www.shanesnider.com/" target="_blank">Shane Snider</a>.  Shane recently was recognized as the 4th best Wedding Photojournalist in the world by the WPJA.  Over the 3 day workshop, we discussed business, photography, styles, vendor relations, etc.  Basically any topic that could be seen as making you a better photographer was discussed in detail.</p>
<p>On Friday, we got the chance to visit two beautiful locations in Charleston.  <a href="http://www.patpropllc.com/#/lowndes" target="_blank">Lowndes Grove</a> is a stunning estate on the waterfront that caters to events, weddings &amp; receptions. Built in 1786, it is a shining momument to historic southern architecture and we all were very fortunate to have been allowed in to photograph.</p>
<p>After that, we visited the <a href="http://www.patpropllc.com/#/american" target="_self">American Theatre</a> which is beautiful art-deco theatre used for events and meetings.  With authentic movie posters from the 1950&#8242;s adorning the walls and dramatic styling, this was a great treat for any photographer.</p>
<p>After the shoot, I realized I had over 600 images from both properties.  The main subject was two recent brides who gracisouly volunteered their time to get back into their wedding dresses and model for us.  We really focused on getting out of our comfort zone over the session and the results are nothing short of breath-taking!</p>
<p>Hope you enjoy the photos!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For those of you that know me or at least follow my blog, you&#8217;ll know I have a true affinity for Urban environment photography.  I take every chance I can to photograph in downtown Raleigh, no matter if it&#8217;s a wedding, a model or, in this case, an engagement session.  Marianna &amp; Brian were happy for their engagement session photography to be anyplace, so of course I suggested downtown Raleigh.  With the Christmas lights out on Fayetteville St, it made for even a better opportunity to shoot some early evening, dusk and evening photos with the Raleigh high-rises providing a wonderful urban photography environment.</p>
<p>I must give full credit to the both of them.  The wind was whipping and it was pretty cold but they were total troopers for the whole photography session.  Of course, they had each other to keep warm and I did promise hot coffee afterwards, so hopefully it wasn&#8217;t too awful for them. The end result, through all the cold and wind was some beautiful engagement photography that shows their love and the beautiful downtown Raleigh cityscape.</p>
<p>Now onto the photos!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cindy &amp; Neil&#8217;s intimate wedding took place on December 27th, 2008 at the Church of the Good Shepard in downtown Raleigh, NC and the reception was at Prestonwood Country Club in Cary NC.  After Cindy and I had first talked, I really felt like I knew her family as we really talked about life more then just her wedding photography.  Neil is in the Army and was deployed at the time, so Cindy painted this wonderful mental imagery of her wedding day, family &amp; friends who would be attending.  Needless to say, when the big day finally arrived, I felt like I knew her family &amp; friends already.</p>
<p>The ceremony was held in the beautiful Church of the Good Shepard on an overcast (but beautiful) Saturday in downtown Raleigh and the parents arrived in a Rolls Royce to the front of the Church.  There were so many opportunities for beautiful photos as I had a beautiful couple, beautiful venue &amp; beautiful light and downtown Raleigh as a backdrop.  My favorite is the one of Cindy, just having gotten into the Rolls Royce, taking a moment to check out her wedding ring.</p>
<p>The reception was held at the Prestonwood Country Club in Cary, NC.  Every wedding or event I have ever been at photographer at has been gorgeous, and this was no exception.  After a wonderful meal accompanied by a pianist, everyone adjourned on the patio for Cigars.  With such a collection of close family and friends, the images we captured were beautifully true, honest and joyful moments shared among a very special group.</p>
<p>What a way to end the year!  Congratulations to Cindy &amp; Neil!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been looking forward to this <a href="http://www.chapel.duke.edu/weddings/index.html" target="_blank">Wedding at Duke Chapel</a> for quite some time.  I met Julianne in the summer when she was in town taking care of some wedding business (hair &amp; makeup dry run with my wife, <a href="http://www.gingermullins.com" target="_blank">Raleigh wedding hair &amp; makeup stylist</a>, Ginger).  Ginger happened to mention I was a photographer and, just like that, we met and discussed her wedding plans.  The day of the wedding arrived and I think I was almost as excited as the happy couple.</p>
<p>Beautiful Couple &#8211; Check<br />
Beautiful Venues &#8211; Check<br />
Beautiful Photographer &#8211; errmmm&#8230;<br />
Beautiful Photography &#8211; Check</p>
<p>The day started out at the Washington Duke Inn where Julianne &amp; Jason were both getting ready and having the reception. I love doing preparation photography and Julianne was an absolute angel to bear with me while I take shot after shot of just about everything in the room.  After we left the hotel and had the ceremony, the sky had decided to turn, well, dark.  This left me with a golden opportunity to use some techniques I have picked up using existing and supplemental lighting.  I hope you&#8217;ll agree that the effect is nothing short of breathtaking!</p>
<p>For those of you who have never been to or seen Duke Chapel, I highly recommend you go whenever you are in the area.  It is absolutely the finest area example of neo Gothic architecture in the area.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On Monday of this week, <a href="http://planetneil.com/tangents/" target="_blank">Neil Van Niekerk</a> &#8211; one of the most well known wedding photographers for their work using flash &#8211; visited us in Raleigh to conduct a one day workshop on, well, flash.  I had really been aching for Neil to come close enough for me to make the trip because his flash work is something I really strive to mimic.</p>
<p>It certainly was a long day with enough technical information and theory to cause a photography &#8220;reboot&#8221; inside my head.  I think it was actually perfect because some of his techniques are very counter-intuitive at first&#8230;. then you see the results and after you pick your jaw up from the floor, you realize there is another whole new world available to you with flash.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re a photographer and reading this &#8211; GO SEE HIM!.  If you&#8217;re a client, hopefully you&#8217;ll enjoy the photos below and realize that, just because it&#8217;s at night, we can still get some really striking photography.  All of these images are taken during the seminar.</p>
<p>First &#8211; Someone shot Neil&#8230;  Not sure quite who but I know we had 3 cameras pointed at him.</p>

<p>Now for some stuff during the day using fill flash.</p>
