Williams-George Wedding

Oooh, I’m SO late in putting this post up!

Hillary and Matthew were two of the prettiest people I’ve ever seen, and even though it rained on their wedding day, they made the best out of it, and had a fabulous time downtown, including a carriage ride, gazebo wedding, and a kickin’ reception at the Hilton!

Enjoy some of my favorites from their wedding!

Headshots galore!

I’ve been flooded with last minute requests to do headshots, which is just fine with me, as it’s actually my favorite style of photography to shoot. I’ve traveled all the way to Hilton Head SC for some of them, to take photos of people from various places in the states, including Florida and some NYC actors who are currently in the production of the Who’s “Tommy” on the island. I also had the fun of shooting a mother/daughter duo who both act in and around the coastal Carolina area, and who host a great “headshot mini party”.:)

So enjoy a taste of a few of the actors that have jumped in front of my lens recently.  Mouse over the flash slideshow to click on the various photos at the bottom.

Rain, trains and a wedding!

In Savannah, the weather is completely unpredictable, which makes for interesting (and necessary) panic moments when there is an outdoor wedding or reception. This particular wedding was indoors at Blessed Sacrament church, and then the reception was outdoors at the Roundhouse, which is an old train station, renovated into a museum.

Between the wedding and the reception, the sky erupted into rain. Catherine, the bride, was a little worried, but threw caution to the wind and decided she wanted to “mess the dress”, and she and her new husband Gerald ran into the rain to get some gorgeous, one-of-a-kind photos. Enjoy a preview of Catherine and Gerald’s wedding:

Change is good.

Welcome to my new front page of my website!!!  The “gallery” website still exists, just click the link on the top menu to get back to the site you’re used to. But I’m excited to make the change- I think this blog being up front will give all of my clients more personal access to me and my current projects.

There is also a fun little side menu over on the left of the website where you can stay informed of my newest tweets, as well as promos which will change throughout the year.

I’m also going to be adding a client login gallery for proofing and ordering prints, since I’ve had lots of demand for that.

Tomorrow I’m headed out to Texas to be Maid of Honor at my best friend’s wedding, and then out to see one of my old roommates and take pictures for her, since she’s due to have her first baby by mid-summer. I’ll definitely be posting photos from the trip. Stay tuned!

Hi Shannon,

I talked to you last evening after the performance and asked about your last name, since I worked in Taiwan as a pilot for EVA AIR. The theater productions are great and have seen four of them the past couple of years when passing through Savannah. You have a great voice and smile, keep up the good work! I have a flight school here in Atlanta as my part-time job, and if you would like to take some aerial photographs, give me a call. One of my planes is a Piper J-3 Cub where you can fly with the window open, so no obstructed view. Have taken some aerial shots here in Atlanta, and will include some later for our viewing.

Enjoy the good times! Todd Jennings 404-661-2525

In Savannah, summer comes early

It’s getting warmer which means a rescheduling of most of my photoshoots from morning to early evening. That’s especially true with headshots because I don’t like to see (or, rather, photoshop) out beads of sweat and sweaty matted hair in photos. Something that I’m certain my clients appreciate.

The photo above is of a NYC actress named Kelley Bradshaw. She was in town for AIDA, and while she was performing she took a day to enjoy Savannah, Lady and Sons, and snap a few shots. I’ve had quite a few actors from out of state come to me lately, which is a joy. It’s nice for them to have photos in such a great and scenic city like Savannah.

My wedding season is about to start as well, just after I get back from being the Maid of Honor at my best friend’s wedding in northeast Texas. Though I’m not the hired photographer, I’m given special permission to document the day as I see fit. Yeah, I’m gonna be the person that I usually hate at weddings. As soon as I’m done with the wedding, I’ll be jet-setting to Amarillo for at least one maternity shoot, and possibly a few family shoots. And after 4 days of that, I’ll be back in Savannah, gearing up for a June 5th wedding with my assistant Jonathan (who, might I add, is also an assistant to Paula Deen herself!).

New news on the website front: I’ll be adding a shopping cart to my website in the next few weeks, so those of you who have wanted to proof and purchase pictures will be able to simply and easily do it from your own desktop!! It won’t be retroactive, though, only for photoshoots beginning in June. Still, be on the lookout.
