Favorite Wedding Images that Tell a story!

I loved this wedding!  These two were both pilots, and their wedding theme was "Co-pilots forever!"  I simply couldn't resist doing a mock up shot from"An Officer and a Gentleman", which you can see in the first image.  And that first kiss, WOW!  This has to be the most romantic kiss shot that I've ever done!  Little planes decorated the cake, and were sprinkled throughout the venue.  What a romantic wedding!

 

Misee Harris, America's Black Bachelorette

If you've ever heard of Misee Harris, then you've seen some wonderful photos of her all over the web.  Well, I am Misee's premier photographer.  I have taken the pictures that Misee uses as her brand, as well as countless photos that have appeared on blogs, newspapers, promos, the Huffington Post, CNN, and many other places. 

So if you see an amazing photo of Misee, it was probably taken by me!!  And in just a little while, I will be advertising myself as Kentucky's photographer of the Stars!! 

Oh, that will be when Misee finishes her climb to fame!

Katie and John-Downtown Fun

Sorry that there's no lesson today!  I'll be back with an amazing tip from the pros tomorrow!  But since I worked ever so hard yesterday on an amazing set of engagement shots, I though that today would be a great time for sharing! 

Yes, our toes were blue, and noses too (rhyme?), but that didn't stop Katie and John from getting some wonderful engagement shots!  We started at 6:00 to get some of the fading natural light, but still get some nice shots with the downtown lights.  I hauled my Quantum Flash all over downtown!  But what I was really pleased with was the natural light pictures that my Olympus OM-D provided!  That thing can see in the dark!  And it's so much fun to play with!

Of course, I took most shots with my old trusty Olympus E-5.  But I had to play with my new toy!
