I always get the most inspiration from a kid's birthday. When, as "adults" did we stop thinking it was fun to have a treasure hunt, jump on the trampoline until our hair stood up and eat candy and cake until someone took them from us? Cheers to Otto Koerber for reminding me how awesome all those things are!
Otto your birthday was electric.
When I was in photography school, the first thing we were taught about photo stories is: fewer images are more powerful. In fact, we had find photo stories and tell a complete story in no more than 5 images. That's kinda hard when in the wedding industry "more is better". When covering a wedding, there are the detail photos, group photos, wide shots that give you a sense of the venue and of course the candid photos.. which I feel are the heart of every wedding story. Gus and Hannah were the perfect wedding clients in so many ways, and .. I cannot tell their story is 5 images- Here are 5 reasons why:
1. As you see, they are adorable.
2. Hannah had an amazing sense of humor.
3. They were extremely adventurous! with every "melt your heart" image, there's a complimentary image that shows the friendship that seemed to be the foundation of their love.
4. They kept their wedding intimate, which gave me more opportunities to photograph genuine connections.
5. They never stopped dancing!! so I cannot pick just one or two of them on the dance floor!
Here's the rest of the story:
I've collected some of my favorite winter photos from out on the property, hoping that by parking them here, spring will come around a little sooner. Yup, maybe with that and the good old groundhog forecast, we'll shake this crazy Carolina winter. We've seen floods, snow and ice; holding strong to the daydreams of summer waiting for us around the next bend.
