Big Bad Blog

I just thought I would quickly share a few from my last wedding on July 10, just over a week ago at the First Baptist Church of Villa Ricca.

Lauren asked me not to post any prior to her picking up the images and she was able to do that this morning.

It was a wonderful wedding day, one of the first Church weddings I have photographed in a good while, as most of the wedding I have done over the past few years have been at wedding venue locations.

Enough story, here are some images…

That gives this entry a start, I will try to add some more later.

This last Saturday was the wedding date for Lauren and Eric, they asked me not to post to my blog until they get to see all the images, but this is just and update on an earlier post about a special album that we built for them to use as their guest sig book.

This is Andrea, she got married just this last Saturday In Arizona and I could not post her bridal portraits here on the BIG BAD BLOG since it was important that no one saw them prior to her wedding day, so I had to hold them back until now.

Just last Sunday Cathy and I had the pleasure to photograph another wedding at Chene Rouge, which is one of the very nicest wedding venues in the Atlanta area, yet is only 3 miles from our place.

And Kani & Gary and their friends and family were all just great and it was a fun time for everyone.

Here is just a few, (about 45 images) from close to 2,000 that they will get to pick from, that Cathy and I took during the 6 hours that they had there at Chene Rouge in Hiram, Georgia.

Dunaway Gardens is located in Newnan, Ga. And it’s beauty speaks for it’s self.

Maranda and Mike were just wonderful to work with in every way, their day however did not go according to schedule, so our time to work with them was cut way short, and we were very lucky that we the ceremony and the portraits on the grounds could be done before the sky fell out.

We have done other weddings there, and would have loved to been able to have the time to take them to even more locations that are found at this 25 acre floral and rock garden, which is pretty much a one of a kind place.

It’s the grandeur of “The Biltmore Estate” in the form of a Garden.

Below is about 50 images out of over 2,000 taken by Cathy, Skip, a student that was training with me that week, as well as myself.

The very first image is of the amphitheater as they were making it ready for the ceremony, but then after that, I want to show mainly the bride and groom, then a few select images of the day as it all took place. The use of a fish eye lens sure does come in handy that this wonderful place.

Today Kani & Gary will be married, and just Thursday we did a quick engagement session so that we could quickly get a signing board ready for today.

So the session was done in our outdoor studio, then we directly went in to edit and find their favorite to use for the signing board.

At the wedding today I will take a photo of the signing board as people are signing it, and post it here also. And later in the week I will make an entry to show off some of their wedding day images.

Other then the first one here, the order of these is only because of the order in which they were taken during the portrait session, and these few were some of the favorites they picked to make their choice from, but they did not get any edit work done to them, only this first one that they picked to use has any finish work done to the image.

The next group of children’s portraits is of my granddaughter’s life long girlfriend who was spending the day with her when she and he brother came over to have their portrait made so we did a few of the two of them together.

Here are a few of my granddaughter alone.

As promised, here are a few of my granddaughter and grandson.

Here are a few from part of a children’s portrait session in my outdoor studio.

Most of the session I felt we were photographing the little kid in the E-Trade commercials, and if you were to look at some of the images in sequence you would see it easier then just with stills one below the other.
