Angela Anderson Bridal Portraits


What a great way to end last week!!! I spent Friday afternoon with Angela Anderson & her mother, Sue, for Angela's bridal session. Angela & her fiance are teachers & basketball coaches in Fulton County, GA. The wedding is this next weekend so I had Angela meet at the studio for some 'traditional' bridal portraits. If you know me well & follow my style, you know I am always eager to get outside in natural light. Plus, I was really curious if the weather would cooperate. But... I went ahead & setup the studio to start the session. I was able to capture some great pics from this time although I am still bitter because Angela said I looked like "Ben Stiller prancing around." In rebuttal I thought to myself, "I am so much cooler than Ben Stiller." Oh well. Here are some from the studio session (Click on the images for a full-size pic):







So... after our studio work I arranged to head out to Tsali Notch Estate Vineyards (btw: Tennessee's largest vineyard!). My marketing & design company, The Visible Group, was hired by Tsali Notch to design their corporate identity (speaking of, we are in the process of designing labels for their jellies & wine bottles... going to be incredible). We were met by some rain on the drive out to the vineyard but things cleared up by the time we were ready to shoot. Plus, overcast skies are quite excellent for lighting & you ought to see this place... absolutely beautiful.














What are your favorites? I would love to hear your comments! Thanks!

Okay, my comment disappeared...so let's try again! I love the 3rd one from the bottoms, the muted colors very "deep" looking sky! You ROCKED IT Mr. Finch!

I always love your outside work...beautiful! I really like the vibrant colors in the next to the last one...but, also like the serenity of the muted colors in the one above it. Tsali Notch Vineyard (and the view from) reminds me of an Augustine quote..."If these are the pleasures afforded to sinful men, what does God have in store for those whose hearts are His?" GLORY!!
