Mini Engagement Sessions!

OK, these are not new.  We instituted mini sessions in 2009.  But read on …  Our mini engagement sessions are ideal for so many reasons:

1. Mini sessions are 45 min long photo sessions, on location or in our studio
2. It provides an alternative to our full two hour session
3. It includes a session disc of images great for sharing on email, facebook, or other social media sites.
4. Mini sessions allow “clients to be” an excellent opportunity to experience In His Image Photography before making their wedding photographer decision!

And now, the promotional: Our mini engagement sessions are being offered for only $50!  This represents a 50% savings, but time is of the essence – it expires on February 6th!  To order your session and lock in this great opportunity, visit our online store by clicking here.

Below is an engagement session photo captured in August 2009.  I did a little something different in this one by giving it an aged photo look.  What do you think?

Working hard to make your dream a success, even when you might not have enjoyed the journey until the culmination, reminds me of  a couple who’s wedding we photographed back in 2008 in downtown Raleigh at the Long View Center. Reviewing the images, Jennifer barely smiled all day. Maybe it was her nerves: she planned the wedding herself, including responsibility for all the day of coordination.  (Note to future brides: don’t do this!  I can refer you to some awesome planners and coordinators.)  But the recessional meant the hard work (planning, directing, and executing) was all over.  And right when it sunk in, a smile all too rare for such an occasion broke through!

Here’s to happy endings!  Whether it be the end of a tough week, good year (2009), or getting through your own wedding, happy endings makes it all worth it. And now I share Larry & Jennifer’s happy ending.

As with every new year, resolutions are made, plans are formulated, and previous year’s assessments generally are an after thought   For me, all three are done!  Not only have I evaluated 2009, but I’ve got plans in place for 2010, and I hope that you’ll take part in some of them.  One (of the many) things I plan for 2010 is to photograph in new locations: venues I haven’t photographed a wedding at, places I haven’t done engagement sessions at, and bridal portraiture with amazing landscapes.

You’ll hear more about my efforts to fulfill 2010 resolutions.  Until then, here is an image from a wedding photographed in St. Augusting, FL in 2009.

I find it to be such a privilege when ask to provide professional wedding photography on one’s wedding day.  But this day was different.  This day I wasn’t just a professional wedding photographer.  In my last wedding of the year, I present to you my brother and new sister in law, Charles & Lekisha.

Being a veteran myself, I was so hoping to photograph a military wedding this year!  We’ve photographed several active duty soldiers and sailors, and everyone of them were absolutely beautiful (even without the Service A’s).  Jason + Keyonna fall right into this category.  I’m always honored to cover nuptials.  But, I almost feel a responsibility to make myself available to active duty service personnel on their special days.   Yes, this beautiful bride is currently serving our country in this time of war.  But on their wedding day, it was just Jason + Keyonna.  And that is just plain beautiful.

…

I’m including a small slide show in this post (click the SL button in the lower right corner).  I’d love to hear your feedback.  I think this gallery contains some of my best black and white photography work thus far.  What do you think?  Leave a comment below.

Their day was special for so many reasons.  Among them, I had the opportunity to work with Lewis Johnson who agreed to second shoot for me.  Lewis is an amazing photographer based in Tallahassee, FL.   We met during the DWF Convention in Phoenix this year and I couldn’t have been happier with his performance.
