Wedding season is upon us! Outdoor weddings have the potential to be gorgeous. This one was no exception. The colors were beautiful. And since it was in New England, it wasn’t too hot. We love to shoot in natural light and on location. So, if you’re planning an outdoor summer wedding, consider the time of day for the ceremony, and a location with lots of shade.
Graduation season is upon us. I was so honored to snap a few photos of my twin brother when he graduated with his masters recently. Let me tell you, College Station and A&M are a thing! It was “Howdy!” and “Gig ’em!” all weekend.
One of my favorite parts of spring is the emergence of beautiful flowers. Here’s a digital bouquet from across the country. Make sure you get outside this week and take time to stop and smell the roses!
We like to show up to wedding rehearsals. It’s a great way for us to learn the layout of the venue, and get some great candid shots. Not every couple chooses to have us there for the rehearsal, but we love it! Let us get all those special little moments and details that often go unnoticed.
Here are more highlights from Samantha’s travels around our country. She likes shooting something that is cool to start with, but then has a hint of life to it. In these, you’ll notice some interesting architecture, pretty vistas, and at least a peek of people.
Ask most kids what their favorite thing is about Easter, and I doubt you’ll hear suggestions of nice clothes and church services. Today, kids love the egg hunt! At our house, it’s a tradition to make tie-dye eggs (which we’ll eat later – yea for sustainability!) using science. Give it a try! Make a paste by mixing baking soda, water, and food coloring. Glob the paste on your eggs. Then, slowly pour vinegar over the eggs. Voila!
We saw Samantha’s photos from New Mexico, now for a trip south of the border. She enjoyed seeing the sights of Chichén Itzá, Día de Muertos decorations, and even the beautiful surroundings as she flew away.
Samantha has traveled to New Mexico several times during the last several years. Her in-laws lived at the edge of a canyon overlooking the Rio Grande with national forest on the other side. The views are stunning, even in mountainous deserts aren’t your thing.
Samantha’s travels recently brought her to the Austin, TX area. While there, she was able to explore McKinney Falls State Park. She found beautiful old trees covered in ball moss, an ancient rock shelter, and water features running low during the winter.
We’ve also done work where we photograph products for clients. That means we also like to practice product photography on our travels. Here are some of Samantha’s photos of *things.* Some were for businesses, and some were to practice to craft.
