{ wedding } PADOVANI

First, I want to thank the bride & groom, Nick and Allison, for being so wonderful to work with on their special day. Through the pouring down rain and awful thunderstorms they remained calm, cool and collected- never phased them at all. How admirable! Second, I want to thank my dear friend Ashley Fehr for coming along to shoot the wedding with me. Ashley is an interior designer with a very artistic eye (hence, interior "designer") so I knew she would be perfect. And that she was :) 

Before the wedding I did the usual planning. Ashley and I scoped out the church, lighting, etc. to get a good feel for poses and shots that we wanted get. We were planning on the majority of our shots  being taken outside (I feel more comfortable with natural lighting). The church, Fairburn United Methodist, has some very pretty natural backdrops. Also, downtown Fairburn was literally right across the street. We had one million ideas for that old town. I was oozing with ideas, specifically for the downtown area. **Then I saw the forecast: BOO.

Well, looks like Plan B, right? You have to love it when life throws you one of those curve balls just to keep things interesting. I appreciate a challenge, and that's exactly what I got. Ok, rain... thunderstorms.... wedding photography: Bingo- UMBRELLAS! I had seen some pretty amazing wedding photographs using umbrellas. Heck, I figured we might as well make the best of it... so that's exactly what we did. We thought outside the box and made it happen.
