options ... choices ... decisions

The brides in Charlotte had a lot to think about after Sunday's Bridal Showcase at the Charlotte Convention Center. Our booth was busy and this show was my first to feature actual brides. Carla (June 2009) and Meghan (May 2009) agreed to come along and tell people how wonderful I am. They are fantastic! This is a very large show and by 4:00 many people walking by had a glazed look. It's hard to take in that much information all at once.

Charlotte brides have a new choice

Last night was the grand opening of New York Bride and Groom (nybride.com), the newest bridal shop in Charlotte. I was delighted to receive an invitation to the opening event. When you walk in be prepared for elegance and a pleasant shopping experience. The new store is beautiful, well layed out, and spacious. The evening included socializing with Charlotte's wedding professionals followed by an excellent fashion show. The fashion show was concluded with styles by our own local Kimberly Pixton (http://www.pixtonbridal.com/). Photography was provided by the very talented Kristin Vining (http://www.kristinvining.com/).

Glove Project

I found a photo awhile back in a bridal magazine. The photo was shot from behind with the bride pulling on a long white glove with her arm outstretched. I really like the photo so I ripped out the page and kept it. While thinking about doing something like that, I decided to act. So, here are a few photos from a session this week with a model and "the gloves".

Flying High in Charlotte

Many who know me also know that I love to do lots of different things. This past week, I was asked to photography a high school basketball tournament in Charlotte. This tournament is sponsored by Bojangles and Athletes United for Youth (http://www.athletesforyouth.org/). Since I come from California, my expectations of high school basketball are not very high. I have to say that after three days I am totally impressed with the athletes in our high schools and I really enjoyed the tournament. Check out the organization and come watch next year!
