There was a great deal of preparation associated with this photo shoot. The goal was to help build the MUA’s wedding portfolio. On the day of the shoot, I had nine people depending on me to produce wonderful images — before every shoot I experience a small dose of nerves — I know what images I want to create but how will they actually turn-out; simply put, I hope I don’t suck :-). The nervous excitement dissipates after I take the first image and I allow my creative process to take hold and do what it does; produce high-quality, artistic captures resulting in excellent, professional portraits – if I do say so myself – and I did!

When we arrived at Duke Gardens, I wasted no time; I almost immediately started shooting with Kelly Tada. I captured some amazing images in the parking lot. It was a small challenge working with three different “brides” back to back and I enjoyed every moment.
