Clare's portrait session

People often ask me, "Is it necessary for me to do a separate portrait sitting before the wedding?" My reply is often, "Well, no not necessary, but you will get a different type of photo of yourself."
These photos of Clare are the perfect example. These calm, quiet, thoughtful images I've included below are the type rarely found within the photo journalistic approach to the wedding day. Here we are trying to work within the history of classic photographic portraiture with a modern fashion sensibility.
Clare will be married in about a month, and I will be sure to share some of her big smiles then.

Allison at Green Pastures

I think by viewing the photos below you will be able to tell that we had a good time photographing Allison. She was beautiful and graceful, with a brilliant laugh. We explored Green Pastures fully, shooting in almost every room, (including the tiny bar on the half floor) and outside as well. Craig Fuller of Photosynthesis did a great job on her bouquet and I loved the peacock feathered hair piece you can see in the last photo.
