Open Iris

All weddings are great. Really, I have yet to photograph a wedding where I did not enjoy myself. But there are some, where everything is just right. Heidi and Sam were not just a great couple. They had a super group of friends and family, and they all threw one hell of a party.

The wedding ceremony was in the Finch Chapel in Greensboro. A beautiful, magical place. But first, some light decorating outside:

Before the ceremony:

Then, the ceremony. Here is a shot from inside during the nuptials. It was a bit hot inside, being an August wedding, but not Too hot:

Then the kids had some fun:

And the getaway:

The venue, qubstudios, is a great urban warehouse location, complete with cyc wall.

Here it is, quite unassuming from the outside:

 I mean, you have a reception with a built-in cyc, you have to use it:

And some great locations right outside the reception:

They even hired some competition for me, an old fashioned photo booth:

And of course, Big Fat Gap, an awesome Bluegrass Band from Chapel Hill, came to play:

What an amazing night!!!

I photograph a fail number of couples before their wedding day. What I don’t usual do it get out of bed at 6:00 am to do so! But when we scheduled the session a few weeks ago, I thought it would be a good idea to shoot early in the AM. So we agreed to meet at 7 AM! And guess what – it was a balmy 85 degrees at the American Tobacco Historic District, so it was a good choice. Here are a few shots from the session:
