Ladies and Gentlemen... I am so, so pleased to present our new 2008 Summer/ Fall Wedding Photography Online Catalog!! It features an entirely new pricing structure for our wedding packages. While things will ultimately cost you about the same, we are offering some really exciting new plans and products. And a whole new, different and fun way to shop with us.
Our new Portfolio Print Collections and Photo Boxes included with every package are sure to stun your friends: and since you will receive them within 10 weeks of your wedding date they make perfect bragging material. They contain one 4x6 of each image in your Portfolio Collection.
Our newly implemented Referral Program is retroactive: if you are a previous client with qualifying booked referrals, please contact us and claim your rewards!
The new wedding catalog is perfect to really get to know us: it contains detailed information about what we do. The kind of pictures that we take, how we process our images and what we can do with your pictures are some of the things we discuss. Every product is explained and simplified.
How exciting is this: after admiring the Etsy situation for a long, long time, I have finally set one up for myself! I have featured on it images that I have collected while traveling and such: I have arranged them in the pair couplings that I love so very much. I have offered them for sale in a few smaller sizes while I get used to the store: eventually, I plan to offer large scale prints and other fun things like notecards and such. It is a wonderful way for me to keep up with the other types of images that I am always working on that are not for clients. It is kind of in beta right now, even though that is not an Etsy option: it is a brand new idea with brand new images. Please leave me comments and let me know what you think about it!
I love the sitting location that we did for Rachel and Charles. We started near Atlantic Station and shot on the 17th street bridge... we walked down to Peachtree and shot some more around the High. Then, we walked to Piedmont park and shot a few there. We made it back to the 17th street bridge just in time for the sunset. Its the perfect engagement stroll downtown.
How much fun was this sitting? Laura's very wonderful parents took us out on the family boat to find some beautiful island scenery. Laura is a cheering coach and her energetic personality worked so well with the images: we were really able to capture some exciting shots. Laura and Jeff's wedding was only this last weekend, so look forward to their wedding pictures coming soon!
I really love when my clients have really adventurous location ideas for their sittings. My photography is all about life and the candid way that I shoot really lends itself well to situations. Other really neat ideas I have done with clients for adventurous sittings include hiking trips in the N.Ga mountains, puling a canoe into the lake at Lenox Park and going out for ice cream at a historic parlor in Savannah. Bring me your really cool ideas and we will turn them into portraits that will be stunningly timeless!
Little Joel was potentially the most adorable child I have seen in a long time. His big curious eyes were stunning to photograph. We made a series of very dynamic portraits as we took a tour through my favorite places to shoot in Stone Mountain. I love making portrait sessions fluid and creating narrative portraits that tell a story about your family in this phase of your lives. These types of portraits become timeless displayed in your home. I created a very adorable square image composite from some of my favorite images. These types of enlargements can be printed with or without mat board. They also can be printed to be framed, or on a canvas wrap.
What a beautiful and lucky wedding day Andrea and Michael's was. It kept raining intermittently throughout the day... But each time we had to do portraits and throughout the entire ceremony, it was dry and beautiful. They were able to have their ceremony outdoors in the garden at the Cator Woolford Gardens in Atlanta. I loved their yellow accents in their floras! They had so many handmade touches throughout the day... their slideshow has a good collection of the entire event.
With Andrea and Michael's wedding images, I made myself a new Digital Mastering Visual Guide to take to consultation meetings. Our digital mastering process is the second phase in image editing. We collect all of our images in RAW format and before they are uploaded to your photo store or added to your DVDs, they are each color balanced and density adjusted. After this phase is complete, we begin digitally mastering. With each sitting or event that we shoot, we master our favorite images: the ones that comprehensively tell a narrative portrait of our time with you: we capture images of your relationships, your expression, your environment and decor, the big events and the small moments. This collection of images becomes our portfolio. All of our packages include the cost of digital editing. We also master each image that goes into your album, or that you order as an 11x14 or larger. You can see a sample of some before and afters at the end of the post.
OK... so here are some examples of before and after digitally mastered images. The mastering process includes all digital retouching, including color enhancement, custom black and white conversions, vignetting, sharpening, dodging and burning, and other special things that make the image the very best it can be.
