James and Ebony...Engaged!

Yesterday I met up with James and Ebony in the Vista (downtown Columbia) to shoot the prequel to their wedding next year...aka, their engagement shoot!  This couple was such a pleasure to hang out with. They are definitely a Yin and Yang pair that just ooze with the excitement of their upcoming union, and to boot, they look great in from of the camera! It's usually the couples that insist that they have no idea what they are doing that end up being stars on my Blog and on Facebook, and these guys will definitely take their place with that bunch :-).  Just to show how photogenic they are, the first picture in this post was literally the 3rd exposure I shot...wow!  But I digress, we did a good deal of walking in the vista and made a quick stop at their wedding venue (uninvited ) and was quickly rushed off by security because there was another event taking place, but not before we got a few great shots of our own! we ended up on the bank or the Broad River under the Gervais Street Bridge where I was lucky enough to break my light stand and ended up having to hold it in place with my feet.  Since I mention that, my photographer friends can appreciate this next little tidbit of information. Picture me laying on the ground at the bank of the Broad River trying to steady and aim a raggedy light stand with my feet while HANDHOLDING my camera at 1/25th of a second at 3200 ISO...yes 1/25th of a second at 3200 ISO, that's how I roll LOL! great shoot guys, I know we are going to rock the Bridal shoot...Well, not you James I'll see you at the wedding, LOL! check out a few of my favs from the day. Enjoy!!
