I had a great time hanging out with Jessica and her gals this past weekend at her wedding. She had quite a beautiful wedding despite the rain. It rained just about all afternoon. However, it really was amazing because it held off just long enough for her ceremony, which was outside. A few months back we got together and did some bridal portraits. She did a great job working it! Good times were had by all!
Casey and Amber were married on June 19th 2010 in Beaufort, North Carolina. The ceremony and the reception were held on site at the Duncan House downtown Beaufort. It was such a beautiful wedding and I was overwhelmed (in a good way!) over all the wonderful details they had in place to celebrate the day. They were such a wonderful couple to get to know as well as both of their families. The wedding was directed by Rachel Munro of Bridal by the Sea and she did a superb job of keeping everything on schedule! The catering was done through the Beaufort Grocery Company and it looked fabulous! I’m definitely going to have to try that place out next time I am in Beaufort. I am going to miss these two…they were lots of fun!

It seems that film is now considered an “alternative process”; in other words an alternative to digital. I still love using film. Much of my fine art work begins with a film-based exposure. I still pull the film camera out for portrait sessions though. One of my students this summer wanted to do some off camera lighting with film, so I thought I would do a couple test rolls before he shot his. The last time I used off camera lighting with film I was kicking it old school with all the sync cords. This time I used PWIIs with my Pentax 67. It’s a beast of a camera, but I love it. I also shot a roll with a Mamiya 645 (hence the different print ratios). I was shooting with 400 speed film (what I had at the moment), which limited me from the beginning with ambient exposure. With digital you can lower your ISO if you need less exposure. I also overdeveloped by about a stop…hence the grain. So, I took my hubbie Shannon out and played a little bit. I didn’t get the ambient exposure I wanted, but it was fun none the less.

Amber and Casey were married on June 19th, so they have been married just over a week now, which means I can finally share Amber’s bridal portraits. Amber was such a great bride to work with. Amber is such a kind-hearted person and definitely makes a beautiful bride! We had a great day for portraits, just a little warm. We were really able to get a variety of shots with varying backgrounds, which is something I love to do with brides. I will be sharing some images from their Beaufort waterfront wedding in the near future. What a beautiful wedding! Amber was such a photogenic bride is was difficult to chose which ones to share, so I am posting quite a few!
