My previous post was about the Georgia Association of Water Professionals Conference and Expo in Savannah, GA.,  This is an update.

It seems that every year the outgoing president of the GAWP attempts to out do the last president with a funny skit presented at the conference’s awards ceremony. The video included in this post is this years entry. It’s production was quite challenging but, up to the task, the video was shot with no rehearsal and edited within just a few hours. It was well received by the attendees and being presented at the opening day lunch it helped set the tone for upcoming events.

The video was introduced as ‘undercover’ footage of outgoing president Tony Rojas. Revealed for all to see is his well known passion for golf and less known unique need to be on the golf course in order to make big decisions. The big decisions this time were, what time to schedule the conference kick off (early morning or at lunch?), who should do the keynote address (Obama, Romney or a current council member?), and most importantly does he participate in the dunking booth. Watch the video to find out the results in this sting operation. Hope you enjoy it.

I do love what I do. I love to photograph weddings, parties, families, bar/bat mitsvahs, commercial products and more. But one thing I have found a new passion for is conferences. The energy and excitement of people selling their new and old products, the fun activities for young and old alike, it’s a blast, especially when you are in a city like Savannah, Georgia right on the riverfront. To cover such an event does take a bit of stamina, but the tired feet do pay off when you see peoples faces enjoy the work you have done.

This past week I had photographed and completed a little photography and video work for The Georgia Association of Water Professionals 2012 Conference in Savannah, Georgia. Not all of the event was published in this montage, as this montage was created for presentation on the third day of a four day event. This gave the members a chance to see themselves on the big screen and all the fun that had occurred throughout the event. There were a lot of activities ranging from a 5k run, to a BBQ cookoff with more than 10 restaurants represented with a live band through the night. There was a caricature artist throughout the event,(I can’t wait to share my caricature in another post), and no other than Forrest Gump himself attended as well. He was sorry that Cap’n Dan couldn’t attend. Some events not in the montage included childrens learning activities, a dunking booth and ice cream social, many event timed races, even a pinewood derby(but made with water related parts, such as pvc pipe).

The timelapse shots of the event setup made for an exciting look at what goes into making it all happen. I am glad we were able to put that into the montage for the vendors to enjoy.

Stay tuned for my next post which includes a skit we created with the outgoing president of GAWP, I am sure you will enjoy it.

I had the honor of photographing a dear friends wedding day. Over the past several years she and I had the opportunity to work together on several projects. She had taken a moment to tell a little about her experience being a bride, I just wanted to share that with you. I included some of the images of moments she had mentioned in her letter. I hope you enjoy her experience as much as I have. I will post more images and my thoughts about her beautiful day.

Letter from a Bride-

Six months of planning, thinking and dreaming of my wedding all came to life on Saturday, June 30th. The morning flew by, full of breakfast chatter with my mom, cups of coffee with my best friend and hair appointments (and LOTS of hair spray!). The next thing I knew, [Read more…]

I have just added another beautiful wedding day video. The wedding of Sarah and Blake on May 5th, 2012. This was filmed at their parents home in Atlanta. It was a beautiful setting, as you can see in the video. With a very happy bride, grinning ear to ear with excitement. She almost fell over when the doves were released during the ceremony. That was only the second time I had seen doves released, it was a nice surprise from mom.

I really loved shooting this video. Utilizing our Nikon Dslr’s to capture most of the footage, such a beautiful look. We filmed about 90% of this wedding with HD Dslr’s the other bit with Sony Z5’s, see if you can tell the difference. It is amazing what these Dslr’s will do(in the right hands of course). I had the pleasure of filming it with a great friend of mine Scott Smith. The DJ for the evening was Scott Mikell with Spectrum Entertainment, the photography was provided by Dianne Hudson. Good job guys! Be sure to watch it in HD, it is always better.

Congratulations Sarah and Blake!

Stephanie and Patrick Engagement Photography Session Athens Georgia

I joined Stephanie and Patrick last week for an early evening photography engagement session. We chose the early evening because the day before the temperature was a sweltering 106 in the Atlanta area. Yes, it was just as hot on the day of the session, but we did have a breeze and it was overcast. The heat  did not bother us a bit, Stephanie and Patrick jumped right in and did very well in front of the camera, making my job a lot easier, considering I was constantly wiping sweat from my brow. But they were troopers and did not care a bit about the weather. I am excited about their wedding day! It is in April:) Cooler winds will prevail!

I know you were excited to see the images Stephanie, they are beautiful, and I sincerely look forward to making the same beautiful images on your wedding day. You are going to be a gorgeous bride!

Ashley and Matt Engagement Photography Session In Atlanta

As the summer gets into the high temps, we can’t stop photographing beautiful couples that are just engaged. Meet Ashley and Matt, a beautiful and fun loving couple with a cute puppy that I couldn’t resist taking photos of. We started their photo session on a hot June evening, searching for any shade we could find. They had chosen a gorgeous walking path just off Peachtree Street in downtown Atlanta, Georgia, while avoiding a few joggers and bicyclists we managed to get some great images. We found a few spots on the nearby creek and train trestle, a few graffiti shots thrown in and then onto their favorite restaurant location for some skyline photos, that’s where we found the elevator for the image in the slideshow.

Congratulations Ashley and Matt! I know you have more than a year to go before the big day, but it will be here before you know it.

Vacation Bible School

Summer can be so much fun for kids. It can be just as much for for adults too! I know first hand, as my church had asked me to photograph our recent Vacation Bible School, and as my little girl was participating, and I love to give back to my church, I jumped right in. I have to say that it has been some time since I was in VBS, and things have changed quit a bit. It is such a fun way to learn for the children. The theme this year was Pirates and Buccaneers, and with the band playing pirate songs, and a 30 foot tall water slide of a shark eating a boat, everyone dressed in pirate outfits and yelling AARGHH!! How can you not have fun. Pastor Jeff rounded it out by getting the crowd to join him in saying Bible verses In his Mickey Mouse and Scooby Doo voices. Giving the kids and parents alike a great laugh. Participate next year at your local church vacation Bible school, you might learn something, and have a little fun too.

I don’t know if other churches out there are like my church, but I hope they are. It is a great place to be, and you can see the smiles on the kids faces in the photographs above, they had a fantastic time. Thanks Pastor Jeff, and the Church at Southside in Athens, it was a glorious experience and I look forward to next year.
