Ring Shots

I love ring shots. In fact, I just purchased a lens that is specifically for these shots. I love the results above, not to mention it was a great setting to shoot. I always do these shots during a wedding. They are normally done when dinner is served and the couple is eating (yah, right!) or making the rounds at the tables. Most of the couples are ready as soon as I come up to them. They know what I would like to do and start taking off their rings before I even ask. Funny, though... sometimes they dont come off too easy, especially during a lovely Florida summer wedding.

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!)...

Amanda & Brian - EPCOT Engagment Shoot

Amanda, Brian and I ignored the weather, which was full of thunderstorms, to shoot down at Disney's EPCOT. The entire drive down to the park, rain was full force, but this is Florida and storms come and go. Call it Disney magic, but as soon as we started with the first photo... bam... blue skies!! I will admit that it was really, really hot and even more humid. In fact, towards the end of the night, between humidity and sweat, I actually had equipment issues. Thank God for the back up stuff!

Anyway, here is a sample of the night:



Ok, its a bit corny and it was my idea, but it works...
