Mid Summer Craziness

Sorry it's been so long since we updated!

We've been absolutely jammed with weddings and portrait sessions. The good new is: the studio is almost done and we'll all be able to breathe a little easier.

In the meantime, here is some of what we've been shooting lately. All of these were taken within 4 blocks of our downtown location. When the sun starts setting, there is always beautiful light to be found along the river.

What do you guys think?

Married! Sophia&Steve

What can I say? Anyone who was there knows that it was a real honor to be a part of Sophia and Steve's wedding last weekend.

We started shooting Friday night at their beautiful rehearsal dinner. It was held at 103 West, which is where Erica and I had our very own reception last year. It was great going back there for the first time.

The festivities started at 2:30 in the afternoon on Saturday. And when we left the reception at 2:30 in the morning, the party was still going strong. We fell in love with the traditional Greek music and dancing, the family and friends, the infectious energy that filled the room. Even though we shot for 12 hours on Saturday, I could've kept on shooting for hours. It was just an awesome experience.

The reception was held at the Grand Hyatt Atlanta, it was one of the most beautifully decorated ball rooms I've seen. Sophia and Steve also spiced things up a bit with a belly dance performance before their grand entrance. It was great!

We also got to work with some super cool videographers who do some amazing work themselves.

I just started going through the images. Early estimates are that we took around 10,000. Yes....I know...thats a bunch. Better get to work.

Here are a few that I picked off the top. I'm sure there's a lot more winners to come.

Married:Robin & Chase

What else can we say? These two are absolutely wonderful people and, in case you didn't notice, are incredibly good looking. I mean, really really really good looking.

We had such a blast with their families. They were troopers as well, especially considering last Saturday creped well into the 90's. These are just some quick picks from the wedding.

The reception was held outdoors at a cool Columbus Venue called The Riverclub. Rebekah and the rest of the crew down there run a tight ship.

Thanks to Robin, Chase and the whole family for letting us be a part of such a wonderful day.

Chrome, Italian Leather, and 150 cc's...could you ask for anything more?

Viva la Vespa!

I've recently joined another small subculture of our society: Vespa owners.

After a couple of weeks of batting around the idea, talking to friends about it, and getting input from scooter professionals, we decided on a 2008 Vespa LXV. you can see it here on Vespa's website.

Last Friday we drove up to Atlanta, along with a good friend of mine, and purchased ours at the same time. Not only is riding these things a lot of fun, it's also lessens the typical carbon footprint, saves gas money, and is-in my opinion-pretty stinkin cool.

I'm fairly sure we are the only two people scootin around on a Vespa here in Columbus, Georgia. So if you see us, just know that we're having a blast.

Lindsay&Jake

Love is most definitely in the air.

We had a whirlwind weekend in Atlanta last week. During that time we got to spend a few hours with Lindsay and Jake. They're so adorable.

We wondered around Piedmont Park for about an hour. The weather was gorgeous and I think all of Atlanta was also hanging around Piedmont...it was crowded to say the least. So we shot over to Peachtree Street (at an undisclosed location) and got some more cool stuff over there. These are just some early favorites.

Tyler & Christina

As you can see, we've been doing a lot of engagement sessions lately. Check these two out! We met them both at Joni and Randy's wedding about 3 years ago, man how the time flies.

Oh, and Get a load of this Jeep. It's Christina's!

(for anyone who was wondering it's an Jeep Wrangler X...hence the title)

More Atlanta Weddings!

Last week we were up in Atlanta for Sophia and Steve's engagement session. We started out at the Fox Theater (see image below) and meandered our way up Peachtree St.

We stopped in at a little Cafe for a glass of Vino and slowly worked our way back. I'll be posting some more from this session as I'm working on it.

So...this week we have the honor of photographing Lindsay and Jake's engagement! So we're off to the city tomorrow and heading further up to Asheville, Nc for a workshop with Bambi later in the week. Is it the season or what? Busy Busy!

Our Studio:Before

Here's a few photos taken today from our Pre remodeled studio!

Check out the awesome courtyard out our back door!

17 10th Street

We'd like to announce, after years of working out of our homes, we've finally bitten the proverbial bullet and signed a lease for a downtown studio space. We are so excited!

It's going to be a big adjustment for us all. Part of me is really going to miss working from home; it has some definite perks. But we've simply outgrown it.

Our studio a street level space that is a part of the CSU/Rankin Courtyard. In fact, our back door opens onto the courtyard itself. We're right next to Coopers Salon and half a block from Fountain City Coffee as well...definitely a plus.

Tomorrow I'm going down to take some before photos of the space. Demolition and remodeling starts soon and our grand opening should take place mid-summer.

So stay posted. You're all invited!

Big News!

Ok, guys. We've got some big news coming up here. As of tomorrow we'll be able to officially announce it...so sit tight.

Any guesses?

Back in time
