Hope to see you there! http://www.picturethewedding.com/blog/2008/05/our-blog-has-moved/ I can't help it. I still love studio photography. Not the stiff, posed, positioned, portraiture kind - there's nothing worse than a smiling head - but the new, fresh looks seen in glossy mags and coffee table books. Even though this kind of photography will never be ... http://www.picturethewedding.com/blog/2007/08/studio-stuff/ Just putting together an album of images from Thursday. We agreed to do the mid-week wedding, on VERY short notice, as a favour to a dear friend. Normally we like to meet with the bride and groom, the officiant, the wedding planner...etc and all...and share expectations well in advance. ... http://www.picturethewedding.com/blog/2007/08/back-from-blimey/ Yesterday was pretty fabulous.

I might plump for the classic ... http://www.picturethewedding.com/blog/2007/05/engagement-shoot-in-mooresville/ We've had a few e-mails about what camera gear we use. I've been a Nikon user for years and now happily own a lovely D200 main body with two D70 units as backups. We use SB flash units and our big reflector for most of the group pictures - ... http://www.picturethewedding.com/blog/2007/05/cameras-we-use/ So the move is over.   After packing a blue million boxes - camera gear included, of course - we're now based near Charlotte, North Carolina.  Most of the time.
