Ok, I have been promising this session for quite some time… it’s been a busy summer, so I am glad you had time to wait with me! View our photography styling and inspiration board for the shoot here, and the rough draft of some of the finished images in a slideshow

What an amazing time we had creating this styled shoot! My incredible stylist, Carrie D. Mader, pulled together exactly the right mix of things to convey exactly the sentiments of the session… this is the inspiration board… actual images coming soon!

I still have plenty of film in the fridge from the early days in my business when I shot wedding photography on film! I did love my beautiful Mamiya RB 67, and the several wonderful lenses I have for it, as well as liking the anticipation of waiting for a roll of film to be developed… and let’s not even begin about my musings from college in the black & white darkroom… it was just an indescribable feeling to see the image appear magically on the paper when you slipped it into the developer… ahhhh. Of course, I love photographing weddings digitally now, and all the advances made, and wouldn’t switch back (it’s embarassing to glance at the back of a film camera expecting to see an image screen there…) but, since I found this beauty, my vintage Holga camera, while I was cleaning out my gear closet, I am going to start bringing it along to some weddings, and giving it a little chance to get a few clicks in…

I’ll also be doing a special personal project with it, and I’ll be sure to share it here when it’s finished! Holga, dear friend, welcome back! (black gaffer tape and all!!)
