Wedding: Kate & Greg at the McKinney Cotton Mill

Today I shot a beautiful wedding at the old McKinney Cotton Mill. I think this wedding will always hold a special place in my heart. Kate was the first person to find me on the internet and (gasp!) trust me to shoot her wedding. Also, they had their reception at a venue that I may or may not have trespassed in back in high school to take photos; they hadn't yet turned it into the gorgeous wedding facility it is today. I'm in love with this old cotton mill. I flipped through the 13 gigs of photos I shot today and I'm really proud. I can't wait to show you the rest, but for now, here's three images to tide you and me over.

Handmade Clothing by Trish Douglas

Today, I had the honor to take the very first photos of my friend Trish's fashion design handiwork. She handmade the beautiful skirt seen throughout this shoot.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This next one is my favorite image I've shot lately. Love, love, love it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I adore shooting portraits of clients, but there was something really refreshing and rejuvenating about shooting for myself and shooting for a client who isn't posing in front of the camera. I definitely need to make room in my schedule for more of this personal work.

Christina, the gorgeous model I used today, generally refuses to pose for photographers. She somehow got hijacked into modeling for me so I consider myself very lucky! She was great to work with, and I hope to do so again.
