Corbin-Spain Civil Ceremony

in ,

I had the good fortune earlier last month to photograph these two and their family during and after their civil ceremony. Check out these highlights of a handful of my favorites! After learning my clients love more dramatic imagery toward later editing of the set, I began incorporating HDR styles with greater detail and color to make them pop. I've enjoyed the style so much that I plan to continue the aesthetic in my future portraiture work! Do you prefer more soft images, or more dramatic images with clarity and oomph?

Walnut Creek Greenway, Raleigh

in
Walnut Creek Greenway extends about 15 miles. Beginning from East Raleigh, not far off Barwell Road, the trail moves westward, has a short disconnection in town near the water plant, passes through several tunnels, becomes an NCU walking trail just off campus, and runs into Johnson Lake. Once at Johnson Lake, there's a trail around the lake to loop back around, which is about 2 1/2 miles. I recommend taking it to the right from Walnut Creek trail because there are steep hills to come down that way, rather than go up, so it's more fun.

Facello's Fall Photos

Nov. 7, 2016 Taking these photographs for the Facello family last month was my pleasure. We had fun shooting glitter portraits, and the evening sky over Lake Lynn was romantic.

Location Research - Downtown Raleigh, Fayetteville/Capital District

in
There were a lot of homeless people sleeping at sunrise in downtown on Fayetteville St. Another issue would be the endless festivals each weekend on that street. There was a bit of nice light in pockets, but as far as the sun went, the buildings generally blocked it. The capital area is very pretty. These are unedited shots of my husband, he was a stand-in for research this morning. His expressions are perfect. What might be nice is Nash Square or Moore Square, but again, homeless people might be trying to sleep.

I'm looking for more people in the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area to photograph outdoors around sunrise and sunset. If you're interested, contact me here or call 678.516.4448
