Where art lives with Courtney & Charlie
I developed this multimedia presentation to share with all my clients where art comes from:
So do you know where the best art comes from now?
I didn’t include the story of Courtney and Charlie’s first date, but if you’d like to listen to it here:
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
…you can see how their engagement shoot reflected their first date and how tucker got included.
In case it’s not totally clear, the framed photos are the shadowbox that I made with Charlie’s input. The frame is antiqued barn wood, and it has a two inch deep sealed wooden shadow frame. The glass is painted from the inside to harmonize with the weathered edges of the photos and handmade paper in the backing. The photos are mounted on raw nails to avoid adhesives which lower the archival stability of the piece.
I look forward to blessing more and more of your lives with joy, strength, memories and moments

Neil, thanks for sharing this wonderful story. I love the piece of art and I love this couple (every woman should have a “Charlie” and a photographer like you).
