Megan and Christian wedding: Details - Columbus MS Photographer

I finally get to post about Megan and Christian's wedding.  It was just absolutely pure bliss - you may remember their engagement pics from here - as you can see, they are completely gorgeous and super fun.... and its a HUGE compliment to be hired for a destination wedding... wow!  I was floored.... the wedding itself was supposed to take place on the beach but a huge storm blew up that day so it was a no-go, but Megan and Christian just kept on b/c they both knew at the end of the day, they would be married to their best friend and that is all that really mattered.... and it just so turned out, that because they were surrounded by family and friends, the day probably turned out even more beautiful than the original plan.... so to start this week off, I wanted to show you some of the gorgeous details!

 

The dress was pretty on its own, but wait until you see Megan in it... :)

Megan's shoes, the notebook with Megan's vows, her new last name, and how cute is that garter set?!!

The flowers were just stunning... I absolutely couldnt get enough!

Did I mention Christian is a pilot in the navy... yes, he's that cool.

A sweet gift Megan gave to her dad before the wedding.... sniff, sniff

I think this picture says it best.... after the party was over, the bride and groom were still left standing, together and in love... forever.

Ok, yall gotta come back all this week for the rest of the wedding pictures - this is one wedding you dont want to miss.... :)  You just wait!

Sorry there are so few words today... I am honestly trying to figure out if I still belong in this photography game anymore... seems all people want is cheap or free, and I cant compete with bad photography.  Maybe Im just having a bad day... hopefully this funk will go soon b/c I seriously love what I do.

Happy Thursday.

Flower Girls: Red - Columbus MS Photographer

On to the second part of our Red shoot.... this one was all about the light and I seriously could have stayed and taken a million pictures, but the sun doesnt really last that long at one time, so.... :)   But I think we got some amazing shots, and I was super happy at how the light really pushed out the reds in the clover... gorgeous!

 

 

 

 

Hope yall are having a great week!

Model Tip Tuesday - Columbus MS Photographer

So now you are wondering what to wear to meet with your photographer.... There are 2 different options depending on how you are meeting.  1.  A first meet just to meet and talk, 2. A first meet right before a fitting/shoot

If you are just meeting to meet and talk with the photographer and discuss the things you want to work on together, then dress nicely, but not too nice... dark jeans, a cute top, some cute jewelry and boots or sandals work well.... it doesnt need to be too busy, but the photographer needs to get a sense of your personality and what you are comfortable in.  Its also pretty much an interview and first impressions are a big deal - this is where a photographer will decide if he wants to work with you and on what shoots.  If you arrive late, or are dressed sloppy or in sweat pants, the photographer will be turned off and may not want to work with you at all... some come ready!

If you are meeting for the first time right before a fitting or a shoot... then its most likely b/c you dont live in the same town, and have been communicating on the phone or online.  If you are coming for a fitting of shoot, you still need to dress appropriately - this does not mean cut off shorts or sweat pants.... this means in something simple thats easy to get in and out of - usually a tank top or one-colored t shirt and jeans or simple shorts.  If you are trying things on, then you need to be able to get in and out of your clothes quickly - dont forget that a photographer's time is worth more than money, so if you take forever trying on clothes, you are cutting into your shoot.  Also, if you are coming for a shoot, you should have already discussed hair, makeup and shoes with the photographer and know already how much you need to do before you get there.

So.... even if a photographer decides to meet with you, or even to work with you, you need to come dressed appropriately for your first meeting.... this could make or break your shot to work with this photographer on a regular basis.
