We also went down onto Main Street in Farmville. Not quite Times Square, but very nice.

E Shoot in New York City
March 6, 2010 // Engagement

Sarah and Andy, who live in New York, have planned an October wedding in Pinehurst, NC. For their engagement shoot we started out on the sidewalks of their neighborhood in Tribeca, which is located between Soho and Lower Manhattan.

I thought that the photo above really captures the essence of a NY sidewalk.

E Shoot with Jessica & Scott
December 23, 2009 // Engagement
43e 0103.JPG


Jessica and Scott were recently engaged and they are planning a November 2010 wedding. We decided on downtown Richmond (in the snow) as the location for their E Shoot. In the photo above, I captured the couple walking through the snow on the grounds of the State Capital. You can see the historic Bell Tower in the the background. The blanket covering of snow provided a source for soft winter light. 

Later, we would head south through downtown Richmond and we concluded our shoot at The James Center - which was well decorated for the Holidays.
