Jennifer and Jason - Downtown Orlando eShoot

ou know when you start an engagement shoot off at a bar, drinking, things are going to be fun. Well, Jennifer and Jason are certainly at the top of the list of the fun couples I get to shoot. Despite some ominous skies, we had a great time. We started at Latitudes, where they met, with the friends that actually introduced the two of them. It was great listening to the story told by everyone of that day. We ended the day down by the rail road tracks some four blocks north!

It turns out that their wedding will mirror a similar timeline and locations that my wedding did some 5 years ago. They are even getting married by the same Priest. As Jennifer put it, "It will be a walk down memory lane". I agree... and I cant wait to shoot your big day this Saturday!!





Recreating the moment they first met.... :)



Although less dramatic, I stole this idea from Robert McClory (thanks man!)...

Downtown Orlando Wedding

So, I worked with Robert again as a 2nd photographer at a wedding in Downtown Orlando. The ceremony was at the United Methodist Church in downtown Orlando and the reception at the Orange County Regional History Center.

Typical church restrictions, stay in the back of the church, no flash, etc. On top of that the History Center had these black ceilings that absorbed light like crazy which made using the normal light set up impossible. So we set up our big studio strobes and used bounce off the inside of umbrellas. It was a great wedding with a positive party vibe that was infectious (think 100 people on a 20x20 dance floor for at least 30 minutes straight). We jumped in the middle of it all, got pushed around like we were in the front row of a rock concert, but came out with some great pictures. Here are few teasers with more to come after Robert delivers his proofs to the bride (in a few weeks).
