Oops! I missed one! (from Montfair)
Last weekend I was looking through one of my sample albums with a couple, and I stopped at a photo that I have always loved but have never included in a blog post. I have no idea why I’ve left this poor baby out. It’s actually one of my favorite examples of using totally natural light at night, and I love how the grain in the image makes it look almost like old film.
This one’s from Gina and Brian’s wedding at Montfair Resort Farm in Charlottesville, Virginia.
I’m working on a new set of images to post from my husband’s English graduate student conference last weekend, as well as some new product pictures, and I also have a sisters photo session next weekend. The moral of the story: come back for more!
Wedding Photography – Album Options
This December I spent about a week shut in my house, designing albums to use as samples. I’ve tried several different album vendors and printers, and now I have some awesome products to show off! First, I want to show the Couture Press Print book, which is a high-end album that presents your wedding as if it were pictured in a fine art coffee table book. The design is simple – one photo per page – and the result is slick and modern and beautiful. The books are hand bound, and all options are customizable.

Virginia Weddings – Check out Diamond Events
Lots of times I find that brides get their venue first, their dress next, and then their photographer. Obviously there is a lot more that goes into a wedding, so I’d like to start spending some of my blog space showcasing some other local wedding services. Might as well share a little, right?
I had the pleasure of meeting with the lovely Stephanie Hughes of Diamond Events earlier this week. Stephanie is a wedding and event planner and is really earning a strong foothold in the local industry. She graduated from Blacksburg High school and has family in the Roanoke and Smith Mountain Lake areas, so she knows our region really well. I found Stephanie to be so easy to talk to, and she is also very organized and professional. I know her brides love her. If you need a wedding planner, please give her a call! It is so nice to you know have a professional helping you with all the little details of your wedding day so that you can relax and enjoy it.
You can contact Diamond Events at 877-558-8143, or head to their website at www.weddingsbyde.com.
That’s it for now. I have a short party assignment tomorrow night for a graduate conference, so maybe I’ll have some new shots to show off from that soon, as well as some of Nicole’s dramatic stage portraits.
Wedding Photography: My Best of 2009
I wanted to do a “best of” post to bring in the New Year. I’ve got all my favorites in the portfolio section of the site, so for more, look there. For now, here is my personal favorite shot from EACH wedding I did this year. I’m also including a brief explanation of why I love each one, because usually my favorites are TOTALLY different than everyone else’s, and I always think it’s neat to see why the photographer likes certain shots so much. I’ll do a similar post for portraits later on.
