We're a week away from our first wedding of the year, and today is that happiest of days around here-- the two big lenses just arrived from Canon's clean 'n' check service-- it's like having new equipment, really.
Last month, I did an engagement session with Ann-Maria and Kevin, this week's bride and groom, at Talon Winery. I was really looking forward to this one, but while I was packing the bags that morning, I get a call from our good friend, wedding planner Jackie Lee of -- it seem the hair & makeup person is down with the flu and we need a replacement on the fly. We get on Facebook and Twitter, and start crowdsourcing like crazy. Well, Jackie got a hold of Deata Sexton Gregory from the (warning for those at work-- website has music autoplaying), who took Ann-Maria in on short notice and did an awesome job with a nice, understated feel on the makeup that was perfect for Ann-Maria. Can't say enough about the job she did, and it only knocked us about 20 minutes off schedule, too.
Had one adjustment I had to make-- this was mid February, and while it was unseasonably warm (I walked around in a t-shirt!), that didn't mean we had any greenery around. Your choices were stark… and stark. I decided to grab some flowers and some fabric ribbon beforehand and quickly put together a couple of bouquets to add just a little splash of color. It also helped that Ann Maria wore some nice strong colors that helped her stand out against the backgrounds.
