Paul and Bethel: Engagement Shoot

Paul and Bethel win the the award for the fastest time between contract and ngagement shoot ever!! We went to contract on Saturday and tried to shoot the engagement photos on Wednesday, but 2.5 inches of rain in just over an hour kinda of killed that idea. We rescheduled for the next evening and I crossed my fingers. Of course, those of us in Orlando know that the last couple months has been nothing more than one big thunderstorm after another and getting a day without ANY rain was just going to be impossible. Well, we made the shoot happen... armed with umbrellas for the lucky couple and trash bags for... not me, just my equipment! We didnt have to use them really... just a few moments of light drizzle is all there was.

The shoot went off without a hitch and I had a great time. Paul and Bethel make it easy to be a photographer as they do very well in front of the camera. Hope you enjoy what I captured!!

Chris Honour Photographer & Dancer

During a lot of the weddings I shoot, I get so caught up in the moment that I just want to dance with the rest of you. So, to put you at ease, I have the video below that shows your photographer will not make a scene or cause a commotion. I put this video together with my wife and son's help. Thanks guys for being such great dance partners!

Enjoy!!

UCF Police Officer Weds

Below are some pictures from Carolyn and Scott's wedding that I recently shot as Robert McClory's 2nd. The Catholic Mass & Ceremony was held at St. Stephen’s Catholic Church and the reception at The Renaissance Orlando Resort (near SeaWorld). Scott is a police officer with the University of Central Florida.

My Granddad, His Book

I was asked by my granddad to shot some portraits of him for a book he is writing about a skirmish he was involved in during WWII on the Pacific front. My granddad can be fairly conservative so I went after safe, Navy Portraits (you know, the desk, the flag). I really wanted to pull of a dramatic photo like
Peter Yang's Esquire magazine shot of Admiral William Fallon, but thats ok. After I set up and he came over to the house, I found out that he wanted full length shots and some with a sword. In fact, he wanted to swing the sword as it relates to some story in the book. Hmm.... wasn't ready for that, but that's OK, I can adapt!!





Here comes the action shots!!! Just look at his eyes in the next few.... WOW!!

A Moving Story...

Not wedding related. Its about 911 and a wonderful photographer, Joe McNally. Joe is Nikon's photographer. He is actually a freelance photog, but he is one of the guys they go to when they produce a new camera. They tell him to do something amazing and do it with this new prototype. Anyway, if you have ever been to New York and seen the huge, life size Polaroids of 911 heros then you will know his work. This read is about him being a New York photographer and his project that created those life size portraits.
