Brian & Cara Wedding Day

On Saturday we were able to be apart of Brian & Cara's special day. The first half of the day we were able to take pictures before the ceremony and get some really fun pictures in and around the mansion. Even though the weather changed later and it rained the rest of the evening we were very fortunate to have the fantastic staff from Riverwood Mansion there to help keep things organized and running smooth. Plus everyone from the wedding party was so cool and willing to work with them and help support Brian & Cara. We had a great time and were also able to meet with Lisa and Carlos from White Chocolate Video who was there to video the event. It was a an amazing event and a great way to end March.

Katie Bridal Portrait Session

Last week I was able to go and hang out with Katie from California and her Mom Kathryn and her sister who is well into her third trimester.  Everyone is looking forward to the new addition to the family other than Jason (Katie's fiancee) right after the wedding! We went to the Cheekwood Gardens on Thursday and it was suppose to rain and it ended up being a perfect day. I was really glad we stuck to the plan sometimes it pays to be patient. We had a great time and were able to get some amazing shots before their wedding this coming weekend. Katie was ultra cool about the entire experience and working with her crazy photographer. We even popped in and talked to the curator in the mansion it was an awesome day! 

Rockstar Roadtrip

I was able to go to Atlanta for one of the legs of the Rockstar Roadtrip featuring really amazing and fun photographers Corey McNabb and Amber Holritz. They are touring the country doing 1-2 day seminars sharing their style and approach to wedding and portrait photography. 

Corey McNabb is from Asheville, NC and is one of Grace Ormonde's Top 100 Wedding Photographers in the US. Amber Holritz is part of the incredible husband and wife duo of Holritz Photography out of Chattanooga, TN. Amber is one of the nations most recognized Lifestyle Baby Photographers. 

I have not been able to attend for many seminars this year other than Imaging USA. Not only are Corey and Amber amazing photographers and really great people to give their time to share their craft and talent with others they are also Nikon users just like me. It was really great to get their perspective and insight. PLUS...I won a raffle and was given a free album design and album from White Glove Books so hopefully this will be one of my new album companies I will be offering. Check out the Rockstar Roadtrip BLOG, Corey's website and Amber's Website and see the awesome work they are kicking out. They ROCK !!!!

Ashley & Russ Engagement Session

I am a little behind on my blogging so I will fill you in on the highlights. For this segment I had the opportunity to hang out with Ashley and Russ downtown at the Schermerhorn. It was really great weather and we were able to go up to 2nd Ave and over to the Pedestrian Bridge for some shots as well. It was a good day to be a photographer :-).
