Hello my friends. Tis Wednesday and time for another Hump date. Life has been zany and has slowed down slightly on my weddings.. until fall so I will be adding some other blogs to my hump dates including boudoirs, a senior shoot and some personal things as I go.
I feel the need to tell you about something that makes me smile — I have a WONDERFUL collection of koozies thanks to my couples, thank you for allowing our beverages to stay cool. We prob have about 50 different koozie couples.
I also don’t know if you know this, but I keep a small photo collection of my couples, if we do an e sesh (or a bridal) I put one on my fridge… sometimes couples will send me ‘Save the date’ magnet , so I have the majority of my couples greet me at the fridge every morning – I will have to take a pic and show you, a collage of all my friends that just so happened to hire me to take great images for them. All these smiling lovebirds that make me happy b/c I’ve taken photos of them, being in love with each other, ME – doing what I love. Yeah, I adore those pics! There are a couple things that I like to do to get my day started on the right track & you guys being on my fridge, reminding me of what I love every day.. sets that pace for me.
Well, I got to shoot Robin Wright-Penn and Orlando Bloom recently. Ok, not exactly BUT that’s who Megan and Ian look like to me. Jim says that Ian looks like Charlie Sheen, but I don’t see that. I think he’s much more Orlando.
What I DO know is how photogenic they are. I spent lots of time with them and felt like I got to know them tremendously. And, as fortunate as I end up…..I’d love to hang out with them again at another time. They are just that like-able.
Megan is going to school to get her MD. And I’m so touched by her gentle soft nature and how SWEET she is. I have a background in medicine, and MOST female dr’s were a little harsh.. So I’m really enamoured that Megan is going to be such a great Dr. with such a FABULOUS bedside manner… her patients will love her.
Ian is finishing up his PhD and they have moved to Lexington, KY.. which is where some of my family is from. I’m jealous they will get to sip mint juleps and go to the Derby. Kentucky really is an undiscovered beauty.. Lexington is actually a pretty nice area.. with BLUEgrasses and rolling hills, and horses that run full speed for miles and miles…….also the fans of UK there are pretty committed to their teams. I have pictures of myself when I was 13 – I have a UK Wildcats tank top on.. with HAIR WINGS, lots of aqua net and pin striped pants. I could also find that for you and you would prob never want to hire me, but my love for UK started long ago.. so guys, don’t forget to invite me sometime.
Ok, pics already…………
I had some really cool lenses and I love how just the sequin part of this dress is focused and the other is soft and dreamy. Love that.
Her bouquet was bright and brilliant and really stood out.
Orlando’s debut.
Pretty darn photogenic, huh?
Her expression coming down the aisle.
and HIS expression seeing her come down the aisle. This is classic.
Man, I loved this fountain.
We chased them in our car and caught up to the limo!
I’m trying to decide if this my favorite shot of the night. So many ….
Megan with her pops. I so loved how her dress would just cascade thru the air like that. I don’t always get dresses that have so much movement so I think I really tried to capitalize on how hers moved.
And this was the ‘vette that Ian was really excited to rush Megan off to the hotel!! I am not sure if he was excited about driving that vette or just getting to the hotel, wink wink
Well, that’s all for tonight. I will catch up with you again next week! xoxo
Tomme and I called it a night. So the next day I started thinking… since I had started shooting with Tomme in October (2009), my confidence was not quite up there… I still get a little jittery before I shoot. So, I knew I had to grow a pair of… you know… and try to shoot on my own. SO, I tackled this shoot myself. AHHH. Dont worry, I did good! So good, I impressed myself! And Tomme!
