North Carolina photographer | Oak Island, Southport, Coastal NC
Today is a special motivation Monday because it is Memorial Day.
The photograph was made last year at the Memorial Day service held in the Marietta National Cemetery. Please take a moment today to remember those who gave everything for the freedom that we enjoy everyday.
Today Motivation is from a wedding we photographed earlier this year.
I think it’s important for the couple to enjoy a few minutes alone as husband and wife before walking into the reception. We’ll gladly help them out with that alone time by setting aside time for photographs of just the two of them between the ceremony and the reception. The above photo was made while they were walk around the gazebo outside the venue. And don’t worry I was not playing paparazzi photographer during their alone time. 🙂
This is an image I was able to make while at the Georgia Professional Photographers Association Spring Convention.
Tomas and Mario Munoz was one of the presenters at this years convention. After they gave a short presentation it was time to walk around the hotel and see how they photographed brides on their wedding day. What you can’t see is just outside this scene, there is at least 35 photographers gathered around the small hotel lobby watching, shooting over each other shoulders, and taking notes. It was a blast getting to meet, and hangout with other local area photographers. We were all there for the same reason, to improve our skills to better serve our clients.
Meet Bonnie,
Bonnie is another member of my “family group” from the Dominican Republic mission trip. She is a soccer player and was a little disappointed when she found out that soccer was not as popular in the Dominican Republic as is was in Mexico, where they went last year on the spring break mission trip. Bonnie as well as all my family group members really connected with the each other and the Dominicans we worked with on the trip. Oh yea, and Bonnie did get to use her soccer skills during a volleyball game when she used her foot to return the ball.
Thank you Bonnie for being this week’s Friday friend.
