Rachel & Scott :: The Favorites

A wedding photography collection is only as strong as its weakest image. That's why we build slideshows, to present the entire spectrum of the wedding day experience. While Mandy and I are shooting, we know that every moment is as important as the last and we can't miss a thing. I think these photos, and the full slideshow I posted before, make a great example of how the pieces should come together. I hope the images are memorable to you; as my painting instructor admonished me during my teenage years- "The best art is memorable."

Reasons to love a Georgia winter: bare shoulders and stark branches.

Mandy's photo:

If you've followed my blog for very long, you know I love an occasional blurry picture. I love the way the soft shape of something suggests its essence. I'm also a bit abstract in my thinking, and intrigued by symbols. I've found a tool to make this interest to the next level, using a tilt-shift lens to create images that have localized focus. It is a punctuation mark, to be used sparingly, but striking nonetheless.


Mandy's photos through the kiss:


This one makes my heart melt a little.









Rachel and Scott held their reception at the Payne-Corley House, famous for its cottage with double red doors.






Another tilt-shift image. That I love.


Rachel and Scott placed cards with famous movie quotes at the bar so guests could guess the film while waiting for a drink. This is from the classic Good Will Hunting.

The YMCA is serious business.
