Virginia GrandDriver Location Photoshoot

Last week we got lucky with the weather and had a wonderful time with these three spokeswomen for the Virginia Department for the Aging program known as GrandDriver http://www.granddriver.net
This is an unretouched image from the shoot. What makes this shot work for me is the lighting...and of course the energy of our talented subjects. Sunset shoots are thrilling because of the quality of light known as "the golden hour". That day, I worked with two terrific assistants: Danny Spry and Beth Furgeson. They're both young photographers and together we made a nice team. Look for this image (or a similar shot) in media later this spring and summer.

Richmond Canal Cruise Wedding

Get married on a boat? Why not? On Saturday, April 7, 2007, Kori and Valdez took their vows standing in the bow of canal boat. Before and after, they toured Richmond's historic downtown canal just off the James River. It was a chilly, breezy day, but as you can see, they were oh-so happy. I love this picture of them, captured right after they said "I do".
