Mary + Nathan: Engagement Session

Brandon — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 16:38:19 +0000

Saturday was freezing cold but that didn’t stop us from putting together a great engagement shoot! I met Mary and Nathan in Ty Ty, Georgia on Mary’s family farm. The interaction between Mary and Nathan really made this shoot special. I love it when the couple can just get lost in each other and forget that I’m there. Enjoy!

Ashley and Cameron: Tifton Wedding

Brandon — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 13:48:40 +0000

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing Ashley and Cameron’s wedding at ABAC in Tifton. These two were great to work with throughout the day and I had a great time! The reception was held at the Tifton Museum in downtown Tifton which is a great venue for anyone looking for a reception site in Tifton. We even got to sneak off for a few minutes and get some shots downtown. Enjoy!

I came across this while backing up some documents onto a new drive. It’s a look at some of my favorite weddings of ’08. Enjoy!

4th of July at Reed Bingham State Park

Brandon — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 18:23:35 +0000

Happy 4th of July weekend everyone!

Each year the local state park, Reed Bingham in South Georgia, puts on a 4th of July celebration. I purchased a D90 this week and took it out for a spin. Most of the footage was shot with a 70-200mm 2.8 VR This is just from a quick edit in iMovie then compressed with compressor.

National News Interview on NPR!

Brandon — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 16:25:56 +0000

So about two weeks ago I got a call from National Public Radio’s “Marketplace”. It’s a popular financial and business news show that airs throughout the country on public radio. There are three different versions of the show, a Morning news report, a wrap up of the days business news in evening, and a weekend version.

Anyway back to the call. It was a reporter from the show who was doing a story about weddings in the financial environment. She wanted to know what my take was and if I’d noticed any changes. The call lasted about 30 minutes and ended with her asking me to go down to the nearest studio (WFSU in Tallahassee) and taping an interview that would air sometime the following week. So thats exactly what I did. It was a surreal experience especially since I’m an NPR junky, it’s literally on the radio here at the house, in the office, in the car CONSTANTLY! I can’t name a single current hit song because my radio hasn’t left it’s setting on 88.9 in the last 2-3 years. Anyway the story got pushed back a week and finally aired Friday! You can listen by checking out the link below.

Here are some photos of our adventure that Jessica caught on her iPhone.

Melanie + Jeff – Thomasville Wedding

Brandon — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 14:21:05 +0000

Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful are the only words to describe the people, the wedding and the day in general when I shot Melanie and Jeff’s wedding at her Sister’s home in Thomasville, GA. Melanie and her sister really let their creativity shine when it came to putting everything together to make this day truly unique and special. What a way to kick off the ’09 wedding season.

Enjoy.

Melanie’s Bridal at Pebble Hill

Brandon — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 17:32:33 +0000

Melanie is a Bride just too beautiful for words! Especially when she showed up in this gorgeous dress, at the Pebble Hill Plantation in Thomasville, GA for her Bridal session. I had to keep these photos under wraps for a few weeks so no peeping grooms could get a glimpse at them on my blog. Stay tuned for the wedding shots (It was amazing!) coming later this week!

You’ve gotta love the retro-glam of the “Birdcage” veil!

A beautifully framed 20×30 of the above print was on display at the wedding.

Brandi + Will Engagement Session

Brandon — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 14:31:59 +0000

Sunday afternoon I met with Brandi and Will in Valdosta for an awesome shoot. You’ll be hard pressed to find two people more comfortable together in front of the camera. Plus we’ve had some great cool spring weather the last few days that has made the late afternoon sessions a breeze. Enjoy!
