As a wedding photographer I see a lot of 1st dances, toasts by the Best Man and Maid of Honor, bouquet and garter tosses. All of them are memorable in one way or another but some just have that very special pizzaz that you never forget. Here is a 1st dance that I wish I saw in person.
This week I’m in the city of Brotherly Love, Philipelphia. I’ve been consulting for the past 15 years in cities up and down the east coast but have never been in downtown Philly. I spent some time at a client out in Valley Forge but that’s as close as I came. This is a neat city with a lot of museums, city fountians, and historic sites. Many of the streets are very narrow reflecting the original urban layout. Here are a few pictures taken with my point and shoot camera.
I love Pixar’s short films. This one is kinda old but it still makes me laugh.
Last weekend Cristiana Garcia and I photographed Ashley and Marc’s wedding at the Sandpearl Resort on Clearwater beach. It was a beautiful wedding and I will post more about Ashley and Marc in a follow-up. This is about the Laura Lee Designs handbags that Ashley and the bridesmaid carried. Marc’s sister Alison “AT” works for Laura Lee and had these very cool Bridal Bags for the girls. According to AT each of the Bags had over 3,000 beads sewn onto it! It seems that these are the smaller bags and that some of her creations have 25,000-30,000 beads!! Folks these are really works of art. Check out the link above to Laura Lee’s site and be sure to read her About section, it’s a really interesting story of how her designer business came to be.
Alison, I’m glad I was able to get a few of these special shots for you.
I’m going to make every effort possible to post an entry every day this month. I’ve seen other people do this to get themselves in the habit. Well, I’m terrible at regularly posting so maybe this will help. Part of my problem is that I try to hard to come up with something cool or clever to write about. Those that know me know that I am neither of these so I’m just going to “let it flow”. This is going to be a busy month. We have landed a sizable contract with a government agency for some extensive business process work so I’m going to be traveling quite a bit. I have a wedding, a family portrait, and an engagement shoot scheduled and I need to get caught up with processing of past shoots.
If I can make an entry every day THIS month, keeping up with it in the future is going to be a breeze!
My daughter was leaving the house and she phoned back telling me to get my camera that there was a hawk sitting on the fence next to the garage.
Sure enough…
