I spent the day shooting for the E Agency models on the Black + White theme.

This image was her favorite from our shoot together and really does sum up her personality very well.

Despite her pension for total adorable cuteness, we were able to work her into a bit of a sultry pose and sly expression!

Suzy wears all the facets of bridal grace with charm and poise.

Neil is available for Fashion Bridal sessions throughout North Carolina including Asheville, Charlotte, Raleigh, and Wilmington.

I shot this fashion bridal project in time for the fall publishing cycle. Which bridal magazine will go a little dark this fall?

The Tyrian Purple veil and toning I used in these shots really drives home the classy regal aire to the photos. But there’s a little gothic undertone as well don’t you think?  

I think they should do something daring and non-stereotypical don’t you?

I was reminded of that as I shot Sara’s Bridal Portraits this week.

I can’t show you Sara’s images though – cause her fiancee Jeremy would see them.

But it’s interesting thinking about these, and all of them are done on the wedding day in the rush of getting to the church – so it’s all on the fly day-of shots.

They don’t look dated or old-fashioned yet – but they are 3 years old.

They married and had a party at the nicely private Viceroy – Palm Springs

My favorite part however was working with my colleague Joesef Isayo out of Los Angeles who is a tremenous seer, and quality photojournalist. We’re both WPJA contest winners have a sightly ironic and sarcastic sense of humor and so hit it off nicely. I just hope I can develop my seeing to where he’s at! I went out to shoot with Josef to give myself a break from the pressures of being ‘the’ photographer and to hopefully break free from what I feel is a visual rut – doing the same thing over and over. I don’t think I’m quite out of it yet – but I’m working on expanding my horizons. Josef has a keen eye for ‘it’ – that sense of place while retaining mystery, the sense of style while remaining undefined. That vision is hard to develop and even harder to consistantly walk the artistic line of being abstract with literal objects. I didn’t find the new perspective all at once, thanks Josef for the opportunity to try!
