Suzi was our nanny in 2003 and 2004

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.

A quick fashion shoot:

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

The 2005 events page is dedicated to the bridal portrait done by Neil Cowley

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

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!
