Engagement session with Pauline + John

Got together with Pauline and John at the nearby Charlotte beach for some fun photos. They were willing to try different things, and while I was setting up shots they clearly had a lot of affection for one another.

John and Pauline have the most interesting marriage story I've heard in a long time-- while on a business trip, John realized he missed her. While eating at Taco Bell, he got the hot sauce packet with the phrase "will you marry me" several times in a row. Taking it as a message, he bought the ring the next day, then went home and proposed the following day. The rest, they say, is history! Naturally, we incorporated this in the shoot...

I look forward to shooting their wedding this upcoming September. Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

Portrait session with Eric, gone bad :(

So with my new-to-me 5D arriving in the mail that day, I did a portrait session with my friend Eric. Really only did one setup, the "college student" look, because as we went outside to do some different stuff, the skies opened up at that moment and it started to downpour.

So we went to his little grad student cubicle took some shots, then he got the call... campus security informs him his car is in a ditch. So we head out and find it partially submurged. Apparently the parking brake never engaged and it rolled about 150 yards across the (empty) lot, missing everything and landing in the ditch. Bummer.

Glub, glub... he was OK with me posting the pics. About 15 people stopped and snapped photos with their cell phones. Would've been more had it not been raining on and off.

He was cool about the whole situation until he saw the water draining out the door. Then I felt sorry for him. Bummer. So I loaned him my truck for the week while his car gets fixed.

Next post (weather permitting) will be the e-session with Pauline & John! Can't wait!
