Senior Sunshine

This lady stands a solid six feet tall and is amazingly beautiful, especially when the sunlight filters through her golden hair.  The recipient of two sports scholarships to Columbus State, she was a princess in front of our cameras.  For senior photography information, please click here.

Brand New Family

Gotta love this new mom’s gorgeous red hair and green eyes!  Makes a photographer want to disconnect the black and white button.  Baby and Dad were color coordinated and the monkey added artistic diversion.  Click here for information on our baby’s first year package, Tiny Pix.

Beginner to Intermediate Photography Workshop- Take That Camera Out of Automatic!

     

Our studio will be hosting another beginner to intermediate level photography workshop on Sunday April 28, 2013, at our Williams Road location in Columbus, GA.  We will cover in depth the mechanics of shooting in manual so you understand how shutter speed, ISO, and aperture affect the outcome of your picture.  You must learn to “Take That Camera out of Automatic” mode to gain more control over how your pictures will turn out.

We will also explain when to use the creative modes such as TV (shutter priority), AV (aperture priority), and some of the others.  Composure, posing, light, and many more topics, including a bit of Photoshop, will also be discussed.  Workshop tuition of $125 includes snacks and a written instruction manual.  Please call 706-587-7976 or use our contact page to register.  Class size is limited to ten students.

She Said Yes! Callaway Gardens Weddings Engagement Bridal

Rhett went way over the top when he proposed to Lindsay at Callaway Gardens Fantasy in Lights.   We were commissioned to sneak onto the trolley behind them,  with two enormous cameras in tow, and were conveniently on hand to capture the moment when he jumped out of the trolley, led her beside the the blazing, majestic “twin trees” display, and and popped the question.  What a night!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fall Color Splash Wedding Ideas

Our fall wedding season is officially over.   We have now switched to Christmas mode, and rich reds, bright greens, glowing golds, and blue, purple, and turquoise jewel tones will begin to pass through the lenses of our cameras.  Glitter, and stars, and snowflakes – oh my!  Here is a collection of some of the most beautiful and colorful fall decorating ideas we came across in 2012.

 

Flowers by Bloomwoods, Designs by Mayumi, Mike Chapman, and Mamie Pound.  Wedding venues included Macons Place, Lake Pines Event Center, The Rothschild-Pound House, and the Fort Benning Officers’ Club.  Planning a wedding?  Click here for pricing information.

 

 

Kellan and Patrick

Kellan and Patrick were married amongst the beautiful fall scenery at Lake Pines Event Center in Midland.  And did these two know how to party!  Note Kellan’s dog on the center right – he was the most compliant ring bearer we have witnessed to date.  Loved this wedding- best of wishes to you two!

Military Fort Benning Ranger Wedding in Downtown Columbus Rothschild Pound House

Wow! What a beautiful venue and stunning couple.  I love to photograph handsome men in uniform and this bride – what can I say?  Just look at these pictures.  The wedding was held at the beautiful Rothschild Pound House in downtown Columbus and a handful of Fort Benning’s Rangers were out in full force.  A special bonus portrait print gift certificate is on the offering for any military couple who books a wedding before December 31- see the details here.   For information on booking your wedding photography, please click here.

 

Fort Benning Military Wedding Main Infantry Chapel

I still get goosebumps when I see these pictures- most of the men in uniform from Fort Benning had just returned from being deployed and it was a great honor for us to record this blessed event for the family.  If you are engaged and looking for a wedding photographer, please see our wedding page for more information on what we can do for you.
