The Jamaica Tourism Bureau and Sandals Resorts of Jamaica coordinated the 10 day shoot in exotic locations from Montego Bay to Whitehouse South Coast. The management team at Sandals went overboard in hosting our 15 member crew, they offered amazing hospitality that blew us away. We've traveled to locations all over the South, The Caribbean and Mexico, few locations matched their kindness and hospitality. Every staff member at the resort treated us with kindness, and took care of every detail imaginable. We highly recommend Sandals for anyone, and we don't give our recommendations out to just anyone. Seriously, we've stayed in Villas in Italy, Resorts in Puerto Vallarta, Hotels in Grand Cayman, and have to say Sandals took home the gold for managing our shoot.<br />
The theme of the shoot was Honeymoon Destinations, we shot fashion, architecture, adventure, food, wedding, and more. The new issue of Southern Bride hits newsstands for January 2019 and is available online too!<br />
<br />
Here's just a few of my favorite images from the shoot. Fasten your seatbelts and get ready to dream a little with our team! By the way, if you know someone thats getting married and wants incredible photography for their destination wedding, we'd love the referral!<br />

This spring we flew to Galveston Texas for a cool little photo shoot that definitely has some eclectic Texas flavor. Starting of this was the first shot of the day on the beach. It was a cloudy, windy, almost lets call off the shoot kind of day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We flew with the team at Southern Bride Magazine. We've been traveling and shooting for this magazine for over 10 years now, and we've been to about every incredible location you can imagine, from Mexico, Key West, The Carolinas, Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, Virginia and more.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We prep for our shoots for about 2 months, researching, planning, packing, and looking for inspiration. On the first day of the shoot, I kind of have a vision of what I want to shoot, and a style and approach of how I want to pose the models. Most of the models I've never worked with, and some have professional experience, others are rookies looking for a break.</div>

I'm gonna stop the verbal descriptions in the blog and let the images talk. Here's what I do when someone hands me a camera in Texas! Thanks to our entire team that works so hard to put these shoots together! Our next shoot is in Jamaica! I'll do my best to post sooner, its been a hectic year of travel, photoshoots and video production.</div>

<div style="color: #555555;">
Through the lens of photographer Michael Allen, perhaps one of the most visually stunning photo <span style="letter-spacing: -0.2px;">shoots NOLA has ever seen. Every shoot Michael does is a style change that will keep your head spinning. It's hard to explain Michaels style, he breaks his own rules with each new location. He sought inspiration before the trip to NOLA for the latest SB shoot and just didn't find what he wanted. So he wiped the slate clean and hit the streets of the French Quarter and created this masterpiece of fashion, art and passion. The next time any photographer searches for inspiration from the big easy, this will be their template. "Working with Sebastian Kim and Warwick Saint in my career definitely influenced my vision for this shoot. I encourage every photographer to latch on to the worlds best to make you work harder. Then shoot in NOLA and see if you can catch the "Love Spell" we captured in this shoot!" This was our 10th year shooting for Southern Bride Magazine, we've developed a long term relationship with the editors and their team. </span></div>

<div style="color: #555555;">
<span style="letter-spacing: -0.2px;">For this shoot we camped out in luxury at the Royal Sonesta Hotel right on Bourbon Street, the City of New Orleans visitors bureau helped is with a few amazing locations as we treked across the French Quarter shooting some amazing designer gowns from top dress makers around the world.</span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1" style="color: #444444;">When interviewing a photographer, ask what kind of professional camera equipment that they use. A true professional photographer will have at least 2 professional cameras in their arsenal, as well as 3 or 4 professional lenses, and a camera bag full of accessories. Go ahead and hire a seasoned professional. Also, if your looking at a low priced photographer, you may get a deal on pricing, but the overall quality may not be to the level that you really want. With less than adequate pro gear, your wedding photos may resemble “Uncle Bob’s home photos.” Hire a pro who loves photographing weddings…you deserve the best!</span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1" style="color: #444444;">You get married in a flash. You get busy making a new life together, and years will pass by in a moment’s notice. Take some of this precious time and schedule a personal engagement session. Engagement sessions of the past consisted of a few simple portraits for a newspaper announcement. However, today’s engagement sessions can accomplish not only that, but also go beyond to capture incredible moments you’ll cherish forever. They also give you a chance to get used to the camera and create a collection of classic, art-edition photographs that you will keep forever. A professional session takes the engagement shoot to an entirely new level. It makes you feel like a celebrity! Be sure to add this to your top ten list of your wedding plans!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1" style="color: #444444;">Many wedding planners offer a personal assistant that will help you on your wedding day, be at your beckoned call, and take care of you. A personal wedding assistant is your liaison between you and the wedding coordinator, the photographer, the reception band or DJ, the limo driver and anyone else with whom you need to communicate. Think of this person as a personal bodyguard or a personal shopper. The cost is not very much, and well worth it. Wouldn’t it be nice to have someone take care of all those last minute details, make phone calls for you, and let you have a relaxing beautiful wedding day with less stress? So many brides arrive on the wedding day to find an earring missing, or garment missing, or some details left unfinished. You can delegate tasks to your mom, sister, or best friend. But then poor Mom gets all the tension and misses important moments in the day. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1" style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1" style="color: #444444;">Let her have the day off! Good planning, fun, and a personal wedding assistant will make your day a beautiful, fun event and less stressful!</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1" style="color: #444444;"><b><i>Tip 4: <a href="https://www.weddingwire.com/shared/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&l=y&cid=8&category=Flowers&geo=38016&commit=" target="_blank">Beautiful Flowers.</a></i></b></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1" style="color: #444444;">Have your florist prepare the wedding facility or church at least 5 hours ahead of the wedding. Outdoor decorations are the first flowers to go up, then the alter and church pew decorations. The reception area is the last area requiring decor. Be sure to discuss this with your florist and have a plan. Many wedding photographers are delayed in shooting detail and pre-wedding photography due to the florist being late or not completing the decorations on time. If you are be taking pre-wedding photos early, let your florist know so your flowers are ready for the shoot. Also, it helps to assign one bridesmaid to pin on the groomsmen's boutonnieres. Many photographers face delays when the groomsmen are not ready. Typically, guys won’t pin them on themselves…they are much too “manly” to do this. Keep your flowers chilled or in water all day long to keep them fresh. After a half day, flowers tend to wilt.</span></div>
<div class="p2">

<span class="s1" style="color: #444444;"><b><i>Tip 5: <a href="https://www.weddingwire.com/vendor-reviews" target="_blank">Art is in the details.</a></i></b></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1" style="color: #444444;">Have your photographer shoot lots of detail shots. Detail shots are specific photographs of all of your wedding details like flowers, the wedding dress, the tuxedo, close-up shots that show all the details of your wedding day events and decor. The details are what make your wedding unique, so you’ll want lots of photos to look back on after the wedding day. Details can include flowers, table and place settings, food and desserts, wine and beverages, the dress and accessories, and the decor and architecture of the venue. Great detail shots will make your wedding look like an event from “In Style Magazine” or “Martha Stewart Living.” Imagine decorating your new home with these photos! Many couples love to blow up giant size canvas prints and create art for their homes to enjoy in a new modern way.</span></div>

<span class="s1" style="color: #444444;"><b><i>Tip 6: <a href="http://www.michaelallenphotography.com/book/" target="_blank">Schedule a bridal portrait & couples session.</a></i></b></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1" style="color: #444444;">
</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1" style="color: #444444;">A pre-wedding bridal & couples portrait session is like a dress rehearsal for the big day. It’s a great opportunity to see how you look and feel in your wedding dress. Many times the dress may not fit quite right and can be altered for a better fit. This is a great day of fun too! How many times in your life do you get to be a high fashion model and look like a princess for a day, besides your wedding day? Trying to schedule a good portrait session on the wedding day is limiting, stressful, and sometimes never happens, and time flies on the wedding day, and this session typically gets cut shorter or eliminated. It’s a shame to see brides make this mistake.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1" style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1" style="color: #444444;">Day before or day after sessions give you many more images to add to your bridal proofs. The hottest trend today is a bridal album to be given to the groom as a gift. Some sessions can even include a more intimate and tastefully done boudoir session that the groom will cherish and adore. Many times the wedding or reception venue will allow you a free day to use their facility as a backdrop, and your florist may make you a bridal bouquet just for the session if you offer to give them some photos of the session for their generosity. Another plus is the ability to have a portrait printed on a large canvas and displayed at the wedding reception, and it makes a nice portrait for mom and dad to keep in their home to show their beautiful daughter on her grand wedding day. The best reason of all to have a separate bridal & couples session, its just for you to have some fun and enjoy being a bride. A good photographer will schedule at least 4 hours for these sessions, so plan for it. Go ahead and have the time of your life!</span></div>
<div class="p2">

<span class="s1" style="color: #444444;"><b><i>Tip 7: <a href="http://www.janiceallen.net/portfolio-item/gallery" target="_blank">Hair, makeup and the wedding day schedule.</a></i></b></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1" style="color: #444444;">It is essential that you schedule a professional makeup artist that has experience and knows how to apply makeup for photography. A good makeup artist will place you near a bright open window for the best light. Lighting in a bathroom is generally poor and is the wrong type of light required for good coverage. Want all natural looks? Even an all natural look requires a good foundation, concealer, powder, eyeshadow and lip color. Today’s cameras can see every pore on your face, every blemish and every detail. </span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1" style="color: #444444;">Great wedding photography starts with great makeup. Plan your first hair and makeup session at least two months ahead. Most professional salons will schedule a practice session and consult with you on your goals for your wedding day. The practice day is good for bridal portrait sessions too! Start your wedding day early. Pro photographers will want to start shooting at least 3-4 hours before the wedding ceremony.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1" style="color: #444444;">Pre-wedding photos have become the most important photos of the entire wedding day. That means the entire wedding party needs to be ready early. If you show up late for the starting photography session, then you may lose out of some of the best photos of the wedding day. Most photographers will arrive at the brides home or bridal room to catch photographs of the bride & bridesmaids getting ready, then take photos of the groomsmen too. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
</div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1" style="color: #444444;">Some salons can delay your wedding day by not scheduling your day early and staying on schedule. And, most appointments generally run behind, so start early! Don’t let your wedding day get by you too fast!</span></div>
<div class="p1">

<span class="s1" style="color: #444444;"><b><i>Tip 8: <a href="http://www.michaelallenphotography.com/book/" target="_blank">Is mom ready yet?</a></i></b></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1" style="color: #444444;">One more tip for the bride and groom on the wedding day is to make sure mom and dad are dressed and ready early. Today’s photographers begin the wedding day with pre-wedding photo journals of the bride and groom getting ready. Typically, Moms and Dads don’t think about being in these photos, but they should. Parents should be dressed and ready. Sometimes parents will dress at the last minute, then in pre-wedding photos you see mom with no makeup, and in her robe. Dads may not wear makeup, but “dad in a robe” is not very pretty sight. I suggest scheduling some special moments with your parents just when you slip into your gown. Let your family know an exact time for this, and have the photographer on standby to catch this special time. Parents live for this day! Giving their daughters and sons away to matrimony is a blessing in life!</span></div>

<span class="s1" style="color: #444444;"><b><i>Tip 9: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/michael.allen.3726/notes?lst=1440049370%3A1440049370%3A1498743805" target="_blank">Lighting is everything!</a></i></b></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1" style="color: #444444;">One simple tip to make your wedding reception an incredible, inspiring night to remember is to hire a professional lighting designer. Don’t rely on just your band or DJ for a few tiny lights. Many local lighting companies design lighting themes for major corporate events and concerts; see if they also offer wedding lighting services. You can have just a dozen lights on a dimmer system with color gels to match your theme, or go all out and have dozens of lights focused on specific architectural elements and details of your reception. Beautiful receptions can be simple and elegant with accessory lighting around the reception hall, or you can choose a rock-and-roll laser light theme with smoke machines.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1" style="color: #444444;">Make your wedding a grand event with help from your event planner or photographer – they can suggest lighting that will enhance your photographs and give you a night to remember forever! I’m not talking about 10 extra little lights, I’m talking 50 to 100 powerful lights that create ambiance.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1" style="color: #444444;"><b><i>Tip 10: <a href="http://www.michaelallenphotography.com/wedding/category/engagement-photos" target="_blank">PDA</a></i></b></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1" style="color: #444444;">Be romantic! Be sure to show lots of PDA (public displays of affection) on your wedding day. Some couples tend to be so busy and excited about their wedding day that they forget to show each other how in love they are and how happy they are to be getting married. Great photographers capture real emotions, so be sure to help out by being sexy and romantic…show a little PDA!</span></div>
<div class="p1">
</div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1" style="color: #444444;">You don’t have to go overboard with poses, but simple things like holding hands and kisses on the cheek provide great material. A good photographer will “coach” the couple with simple posing ideas. Don’t be shy…have fun and enjoy it! Be creative and push your photographer to step out of the box with edgy art!</span></div>

The Greenbrier Photo Shoot on Southern Bride Magazine!</h3>
<div>
Here's a new post from Southern Bride Magazine featuring our recent photo shoot at the amazing Greenbrier Resort. <a href="http://www.thegreenbrier.com/" target="_blank">The Greenbrier</a> is one of America's most beautiful and historic resorts, built in the 1800's, this hotel is more of a museum than a hotel. When our team arrived on site, we were blown away by the beauty and majesty of the hotel. Last year we shot near the historic Biltmore Estates, which was crazy beautiful, but The Greenbrier has much more to offer. The decor was created by famous designer Dorothy Draper, with bold patterns and colors unlike any resort we have ever seen.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We spent 4 days shooting in the hotel, and if you follow our blog, you'll get to see posts from each day we shot, along with bridal fashions from the most successful fashion designers in the world.</div>

This fall our team went on location to shoot the editorial fashion pages for millions of Brides to swoon over for their wedding dreams. If you've ever been to <a href="http://www.thegreenbrier.com/" target="_blank">the Greenbrier</a>, you know its one of the most magical properties in the world. It was built in the 1800's and is on the National Historic Landmark Register, the hotel is immaculate, and sees thousands of visitors and guests each week. Many of the artifacts in the hotel are on loan from museums across the United States. Known for it's private bunker, the hotel is an emergency safe haven for Presidents, Congress and leaders of the United States, and was used to provide security to our Nation for many years.<br />
<br />
Southern Bride put together this shoot about a year ago, and we've been excited about shooting this for the entire year. Here's a behind the scenes video that we filmed during the photo shoot. The working title is the American Beauty Collection, and you will love every photo from the collection. <a href="http://photos.michaelallenphotography.com/portfolio/american-beauty-collection" target="_blank">Visit our website to see more of the amazing photos.</a><br />
<br />
We shot almost 5000 photos and shot hours of video footage, narrowed the photos down to the top 1000, and the editors selected their favorites for the magazine spread and covers. We've been shooting beautiful weddings for over 10 years for hundreds of brides, getting to shoot for <a href="http://www.southernbride.com/" target="_blank">Southern Bride Magazine</a> is always an honor, and we get to shoot in some of the most amazing locations in the Southern USA, Mexico and The Caribbean. ( Spread the word if you know of a couple that would like us to shoot their wedding, we love photographing beautiful weddings) The new issue of Southern Bride hits newsstands across the Southern United States January 1, 2017, so pick up a copy.<br />

If you love photography, you'll get a look behind the scenes and get to see some of how we photograph our editorial shoots. While we use natural light, we also use light modifiers, reflectors, flash, and the sun to give each image a beautiful look. Our team at <a href="http://www.michaelallenphotography.com/" target="_blank">Michael Allen Photography</a> flew to Key West along with 15 of the crew from Southern Bride, and over 40 dresses from the top bridal fashion designers from around the world. As you can see from our opening scenes, the weather was sometimes a bit rainy, with tropical winds, but we pushed through and ended up with some amazing photos. We travel around the world, and shoot destination weddings for couples, so travel is second nature to us. Take a minute and enjoy our little view of paradise! Special thanks to Hawks Cay Resort on Duck Key and The Florida Visitors Bureau for flying us down, and feeding us some incredible seafood. Be sure to visit the Southern Bride Website to see more of the photos from the shoot.<br />

<br />
Earlier this year the editors at Southern Bride flew us all down to Key West for a major fashion photo shoot on <a href="https://www.hawkscay.com/" target="_blank">Duck Key</a>. Flying with 250 pounds of photo gear has it's challenges, but with our Media Pass the airlines made accommodations and we got to Miami in record time. Getting a large rental car from the airport was also a challenge, as the rental agents all spoke fluent Cuban, but after a while we figured out how to communicate that we needed room for lots of gear. The drive down from Miami was supposed to take about 1.5 hours to our first destination, but due to Islamorada having a festival that had traffic to a standstill for hours turned our 2 hour drive into a 6 hour drive. But in the Keys we were simply happy and no challenge seemed to dampen our spirits. When we finally got to our first location, we were scouting at last light, almost dark, so that was another challenge trying to find just the right spots for the best light. Did I mention we had a few umbrella drinks in our hands, so we were having fun. We met with the entire crew, about 15 of us, and settled in for the night. Early the next morning we woke up to a monsoon rainstorm, with dark clouds and wind, heavy rains to say the least. Ah, that did delay us for a couple of hours, but we managed to shoot in some covered areas that no one would ever know about pouring down rain in the background. Our first day was a bit overcast, but by the afternoon we did see some sunshine, The first day of the shoot was a success! The rest of the shoot went like clockwork for the next few days. Our hosts in the Keys included the resort management team and the Key West Visitors Bureau. We were treated like celebrities the entire week, and our stay in <a href="http://www.historickeywestinns.com/the-inns/cypress-house/" target="_blank">Key West</a> for the last 2 days was more like a <a href="http://www.sunsetkeycottages.com/" target="_blank">vacation</a> than work. Our stay on <a href="http://www.sunsetkeycottages.com/" target="_blank">Sunset Key</a> was over the top. (We kept hoping we would run into the crew of Bloodline, but never saw any of them.) Our models were Merritt and Josh, we've worked with them before and the editors flew them in from New York just for the shoot. They both did a killer job even though they thought we were rained out the first day. Here's a few images from the <a href="http://www.southernbride.com/blog/lovely-lace-davids-bridal/" target="_blank">Southern Bride</a> blog that just posted. Be sure to pick up a copy of the new issue that just hit newsstands the other day. We shot over 5000 photos, so we will be posting the rest of this year as we have time. Here's the very first shot of the rainy morning. (I love it when the first shot is just amazing!)<br />

Wow was the only thing that came to mind when we saw this JCREW jumpsuit. Lacey yet elegant adorned with short cap sleeves and a low v-neckline, this jumpsuit would be ideal for a beach ceremony or a bridal shower. Easy to walk in and even better to dance the night away in, why not change in to this cute number when being announced at your reception. Which ever way you decide to wear it, <a href="http://www.southernbride.com/blog/always-so-chic-in-jcrew/" target="_blank">Southern Bride</a> loves this lace jumpsuit!</div>

Backstory from Michael Allen Photography: Here's a few more of my favorite segments from our shoot at the historic <a href="https://www.omnihotels.com/hotels/asheville-grove-park" target="_blank">Grove Park Inn</a> in Asheville North Carolina. When we arrive on location with the Southern Bride editors, I spend my first day scouting locations, creating scenes, and developing the style for the shoot. As a professional photographer I'm always looking for light, architecture and anything that I think will be a unique photo location. I talk to the Inn Keepers and look at their normal suggestions from past photo shoots and do my best to avoid those locations, I want to create something unique for me as a photographer, and something unique for the magazine that hasn't been shown a millions times before. The property managers always have their go to locations, so I asked the manager to show me something that no one has ever photographed before. This spot was just what I was looking for, this amazing stone mansion is adjacent to the Inn, and was vacant, waiting for the Inn to decide what to do with it. Most of the week of the photo shoot I'm knocking out the fashion shots that the magazine needs to show the hundreds of designer dresses, so a lot of my work has a straightforward catalog style. I knew when I hit this location I could take liberties to push the envelope, break some of my rules and have some fun. Our models spend the week changing outfits, hairstyles, makeup over and over again. so when we hit this location I told Alynn to let go and give me some of her ideas for the style. We had about 10 minutes right before we wrapped this location, that's when I moved her to this portico and here's the result. We both knew that this spot was going to give us something really cool! Here's just a few of my favs. Be sure to read the original post to see a few more of the shots used on the SB Blog. Here's a link to <a href="http://photos.michaelallenphotography.com/portfolio/southernbride" target="_blank">my portfolio</a> from the shoot too</div>

How do I know? Well I was just a kid back in 1969 with the worlds first "Selfie", Here is a portrait of me using my first polaroid camera. Back then the camera revolution was taking over, everyone had their own personal camera, and we all were excited to shoot up our 12 pack of film. I figured out that if I took my moms giant mirror off of the wall from the dining room, drag it outside in some nice daylight, that I could lean the mirror against the fence in our backyard and then position myself in just the right spot to snag a selfie with my land camera. <br />

Fast forward to my next generation of photography, working with 35mm film with my first Canon EOS-1 and the sky was the limit. Back then I was shooting a 36 roll of slide film, wow that was a big step from a 12 pack of film. Shooting slide film was a requirement of the magazine editors at the time, they would take our film submissions, then convert the slides to a medium format positive film for printing. I would spend anywhere from $500 to $800 for a typical photo shoot ending up with 100 slides, duplicates, conversions and prints. The days of film shooting was hard work, and expensive. Imagine shooting all day long, and having to wait until the film lab processed the slides to see how my exposures turned out! Most of the time I nailed the exposure, but there was always that suspense of wondering if all the hard work of an all day long photo shoot would actually turn out. Here's a scan of slides of my lovely model (aka my wife Janice) to give you an idea of my old workflow.<br />

Then there was this giant leap of digital technology. Gone were the days of $800 processing fees, now I can instantly see my exposures, adjust sharpness and color schemes right in the camera. The world of professional digital photography completely changed the world of photography. Magazine submissions went from weeks to minutes, and the ability to process and edit images in desktop computers made my role as a photographer become more of an artist. It was like being untangled from all the rolls of film, being released to experiment with creativity, color grading, reframing, it was life changing for me as a photographer. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As the digital revolution continued, cameras got better and better, lenses got sharper, and the ability to upgrade to better gear each year was an adventure. Camera companies competing to made cameras better and easier to use made my life much easier. Digital cameras evolved from the early days of shutter lag to shooting 8 frames per second. ISO ranges increased dramatically, which in turn made shooting in low light a joy. Emulating the look of film with software gives my images just the right look for my goals as a professional photographer. The world of digital photography is simply amazing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A typical photo shoot for me today yields anywhere from 1000 to 5000 images, my workflow takes those images into culling and editing to deliver 500 to 1000 images to my editors. I can shoot tethered with Wifi to a computer screen to help my clients see real time what is being accomplished in the studio. Now instead of waiting on the lab to develop my film, and waiting weeks to send in submissions, its like flying on a lear jet to reach my destination in a matter of hours. Speaking of jets, the fashion images below just happened to be shot on the tarmac, and narrowing down my favorites in my computer was a breeze.</div>

Whats next in the world of photography? Cameras are becoming more and more evolved each day, the early days of 12 megapixel images has soared to 20 - 30 megapixels and beyond. The sensitivity of the image sensor has surpassed the days of film cameras. The latest evolution comes from a new camera technology called <a href="https://light.co/" target="_blank">Light</a>. They have created a <a href="https://light.co/camera" target="_blank">small lightweight camera </a>with multiple lenses, advanced low light abilities, and its so compact you can slide it in your pocket. It's turning heads in the professional photography world. I can't wait to try one out and take in on location to one of our fashion shoots. Its a perfect tool for social media and press. Welcome to a new world of digital cameras. I can't wait to see what happens over the next few years!</div>

We photographed some amazing wedding designs <a href="http://www.southernbride.com/blog/anne-barge/" target="_blank">www.southernbride.com / Anne-Barge Designs</a> from some of the top designers in the world. Read more about it on their blog feature and let us know what you think! We photographed about 50 dresses on the fashion shoot, and I'll have to say that this dress was one of my favs.<br />
<br />
We've been shooting exclusively for Southern Bride for about 9 years, and it just keeps getting better with each location. When we travel with this large of a team, there is a lot going on behind the scenes. For this shoot we had about 20 people on the team. The first team sorts the dresses, steams them, and organizes all of the fashion accessories. My team goes in and picks our favs, and scouts the locations that we think will work for that dress. The hair and makeup team jumps in with the models the minute that they arrive on location and begin talking about the hair styles and looks that we want. About 6 am on the first day, the models and hairstylists get started while eating breakfast, and the fashion team then gets the first dresses ready to wear. This team will do wardrobe changes, hairstyle and makeup changes about 10 times in one day. About 7 am my photo assistants and I head out the the first location and begin lighting the sets that we are shooting for the first segment. (We go to extremes to light each shot, so if you look at these and wonder how we do it, well you may just have to sign up for one of our photography workshops to find out our secrets.) For this series of shots we found this great location, and we pushed in some extra light to give us a nice natural look. This segment was running right on schedule when we found out that the building right behind us that was built in the 1900's as a caretakers cottage began swarming with bees - we ran as fast as we could to get out of harms way. See, there is always a fun backstory! After shooting a 10 hour day and about 25 dresses, the entire team took a quick break, then we all headed to the Grove Park Inns overlook restaurant to watch the final sunset, and enjoy fine dining at one of the best restaurants in the south, The Sunset Terrace. Then we get to sleep and do it all over again early the next morning. It's an amazing job, and after 3 longs days we are all pretty tired, but the results make all the pain go away! Check back on our blog soon for the next segment of our incredible shoot at The Grove Park Inn, or pick up your copy of Southern Bride Magazine on newsstands across the South!

We kicked off the new year with one of our biggest photo shoots ever! The team at Southern Bride flew the entire crew down to Key West to shoot the next issue of the Romantic Destinations issue of Southern Bride Magazine. Since the magazine has exclusives on the shoot, we can't show you any of the images just yet, but here's where we shot for the first 3 days. And yes, it looked just like the photo - simply amazing!<br />

When we travel to destination locations for weddings and our exclusive photo shoots, you never know what the weather will be like, Our first morning of the shoot was scheduled at 7 am, and it was pouring harder than I've seen it before. We actually began shooting in the rain, and by the time we got going the rain cleared and the day went on schedule.</div>

We've shot in Key West before, about 5 years ago for a beautiful wedding, and we were not disappointed with this shoot either. We shot our models with Dolphins, on the beach, riding mopeds, bicycles, and on a 3 million dollar Yacht that happened to be in port. The magazine flew in two of our models from NewYork and Birmingham. We have just about 50 bridal gowns and dozens of bridal accessories flown in from all over the world. We had a team of 10 that flew into Miami, then we all drove on to key west where we teamed up with our hosts on Duck Key. They had spent about 6 weeks prepping for the shoot with over a dozen crew members, so our shoot ran like clockwork. I can't wait to show you what we shot, but it will have to wait until the issue hits the newsstands. Meanwhile, check back to see our next post sometime this spring. After the shoot we spent a few days of R&R in Key West dining in some of the Keys most exclusive restaurants. We are writing a travel story about our adventure that will come out in the next issue of the magazine, so be looking that that!</div>

Michael's style is romantic, modern, and beautiful. Michael shoots hundreds of weddings and loves every couple. Some photographers have just started their careers, and tend to practice on new clients. Michael's vast professional experience offers his clients the best photography in the business, giving the client confidence that Michael has the best eye for whatever conditions he is shooting in. Michael's eye of fashion gives him an edge, shooting both weddings and commercial catalogs. Next time you pick up a copy of Southern Bride Magazine, look at Michaels work, it's art that everyone loves. For this couple shoot I wanted to get them having fun, embracing and unaware of the camera, the last two shots I asked them to do some silly things that they would not normally do, and I loved the results! Some of these are in the Magazine on newsstands this month!<br />

One of my passions in photography is capturing people at the their best! Photographing professional headshots is an art. Most don't realize that for some photographers shooting people is frightening. Photographing someone up close and personal is a rush, exciting and it takes self confidence, I'm talking about the photographer in this sentence. I've meet hundreds of photographers over the years, there are a handful that I'd recommend to shoot headshot, all the others would be scared to death to take on this challenge.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Capturing people is an masterful art. Getting them comfortable in front of the camera takes a special skill. It's almost like being a therapist. How do you get your client to let go and show who they are? Most clients are scared to death of being photographed, unless they have done it a few times, it can be a little intimidating. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you are a photographer that enjoys people, that's half the battle. You as a photographer have to have total self confidence in your photography skills, lighting skills, and posing skills. If you let them see you sweat, then you've lost them. Trying to win them back over may not happen. You also have to be interesting enough that the client will take instruction from you, and you have to tell them what you want out of the session. For me it's capturing their emotions. Sometimes I tell my clients during the shoot, "think happy thoughts" or "think of a moment when you were sad" or "a moment when you were very serious". Most of the time they laugh at me, and that's when I get something real from them, even if it's not what I suggested for them. There's definitely power of words that can make a session go well.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When I worked with country music superstar Dierks Bentley at The Ryman, he only had about 15 minutes to shoot, his rehearsal ran behind, and that ate into my already short half hour schedule. I was on the hot seat to pick the locations, and have my gear ready to shoot. When I first shook his hand, I immediately went into professional mode, I positioned him in the spot that I wanted, and gave him cues for every pose. Now he'd been in lots of photo sessions, but I wanted to make sure I got what I wanted out of him, so here I am telling Dierks Bentley how to look, how to pose and get him in the zone to think positive thoughts. After the first segment, I was confident that I had nailed the shots. Especially when his wife and kids crossed the auditorium and his face lit up with joy. Now I was ready to take him to my second location, and it was pretty much me and him. The entourage had moved on, so we got some one on one time. And once again, I knew what I wanted to do, got him into the light, and nailed the second segment. Later on that night he walks up to me randomly and says, which shirt should I wear for the video shoot? So I bonded with him somewhere during the day and he took them time to ask me what I thought. That made my day! Some of my favorite shots of him made the cut, and now the images reside on the Walmart Soundcheck website today.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I pretty much have the same mindset no matter if I'm shooting Dierks Bentley, or the Doctor at the local clinic that wants good headshots. I know my clients want to look their best, and they are counting on me to do just that with the camera. They are in business and want their clients to like them just from their photos. The same goes for a new actor or model starting out, they want to get just the right photo in front of an agent and get hired for the job. I've had dozens of new actors and models make it to the big screen, and it makes me very happy to have played a role in getting them the job!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Most of the people that hire me are willing to pay good money to get great headshot, if it's just a quick hour session in my studio, or a day rate on location. I do run into some that don't want to spend a much on their headshots, and I have to send them away. I hate to do that, because I've seen what rookie photographers deliver, and it's usually pretty weak. I know that when I shoot someone, they will walk away with some headshots that will win them a great job. I've become a master of light from all my studies with the best photographers in the world. I've learned from the best photographers in the country and know what it takes to get the shot. I bend the rules just enough to give my shots something unique. I also use the correct lights, not every flash will do the job, so having the right studio lights is a key to successful headshots. The days of stiff, over posed portraits are gone, I capture a real look that's believable. I also know what format is needed for the web, not every headshot is vertical. Web banners need horizontal, so I always include a mix of both formats.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A rookie doesn't have the experience to know how to handle different lighting situations, and there is a art to painting with light with a camera. A lot of clients don't get that concept, they think that if a photographer has a camera, then they must know what they are doing. The other thing that I run into with clients is that they want to dictate where you shoot their photo. Let me tell you, if you want to look your best, let your photographer chose the location. It may not be at your desk at your office, unless you are the CEO of a mega-corporation and have a million dollar office suite with a sky rise view of Manhattan. Great locations require great light. That's why magazines spend tens of thousands shooting their magazine covers. Now you may not have a budget like that, but keep that in mind when you decide to get headshots, think big, and find a creative photographer that can make you look like a million bucks. You may want to keep it simple with a white or grey background, or let us find just the right spot for a great lifestyle shot.<br />
<br />
What are some of my techniques? First, I get my clients to laugh. They have to be comfortable and unaware of the camera. I want their happy face, the one that they show their best friends. Next I want them to look comfortable, sitting in a position that they may be in when they are sitting around on their couch at home. Even if they are standing for the shot, I'll have them shift their weight and change their stance until I see that they have settled in. I want their body language to come across in the shot, so they have to look confident, and at ease at the same time. I've learned from Peter Hurley how to get them to "squench" their eyes, and get their chin out in just the right position so that their neck has that power pose that makes them look their best. For lifestyle shots, I use natural light, with a little kicker over their shoulder to add just a little rim light to their hair. For studio shots, I use a huge 60" moon light softbox. I want their key light to look as soft as butter, and I do want some shadows to add drama, so I play with my lighting angle from my key light to highlight my clients best side. Headshots to me don't always mean just the head, I may want the entire body. Maybe not head to toe shots, but if they are sitting, then why not have them criss cross their legs and look relaxed. And my final tip, I run all my images through some of my favorite toning presets. I like my images to have depth, sharp eyes, and nice skin tones. I study catchlight in my subjects eyes and want that sharp, crisp look that makes their eyes sparkle. When my clients send in their headshots for a potential job or casting call, I want their headshots to stand out from the others on the table. I've gotten great feedback from agencies on my headshots, so I know that my clients are going to get attention. If the headshot is for a CEO of a big corporation, I know that they will love what I do for them. I want them to have a powerful, confident look that will attract customers to their door. I also stay away from traditional "master of photography" poses that are highly technical. Todays headshots are natural, realistic and are designed to show the public who you are in a personal way.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here are a few of my favorites shots from the past several years. I want to show you some pretty amazing people that have graced my camera lens. Here's a collection of studio and lifestyle headshot portraits from my clients from all walks of life. If you would like to book an individual professional headshot session, our prices range from $250 to $500 to $750. We have openings weekly in our studio or we can travel to your location. We also offer corporate sessions.<br />

We've had an incredible success in our photography career over the years, one of the most rewarding things we do is shoot weddings. Our award winning photography style caught the eye of one of the editors of Southern Bride Magazine several years ago. One thing that makes a photographers career is getting magazines to track you down and ask you to shoot for them. We've been published in many magazines over the years, from Town & Country, to ELLE, Inspire, and were always excited to be published. When we got the call to shoot for Southern Bride, we were so excited. Getting asked to shoot for a magazine like this is very special to us, as we love shooting weddings for real brides. The most exciting part about shooting for Southern Bride Magazine, is that they keep calling us year after year after year.<br />
<br />
The shoot we are featuring today was from one of our favorite shoots in a location that we'd never been to before. We've shot in Charleston South Carolina, but one thing about Pawleys Island South Carolina is the beach! This shoot was scouted for the back bay areas, so it had so much charm and such a unique feel. We'd just shot last year on the beach in Florida for the magazine, and we wanted to give this shoot that back bay feel, a little more high end looking, and we wanted to capture the quaint beauty of Pawleys Island.<br />
<br />
For this shoot the magazine brought in over 30 dresses from the top fashion designers across the globe. If you ever get excited when Fed Ex delivers a package to your front door, imagine getting 50 large boxes delivered to your door. It's overwhelming, but the Southern Bride team carefully rips open every box, tags each item, stages them on 6 large garment racks, and sets up a behind the scenes dressing room that most bride to be's would die for! From hairstylists, makeup artists, seamstresses, set designers, florists, catering crews, photography assistants, communications offices, snack table full of fresh fruit and incredible gourmet snacks, to 20 pair of dazzling high heel shoes, the shoot location is buzzing with excitement! Most of our shoots include about 20 crew members, and at least 4 models. From our 7 am call time each morning, our days are like rolling thunder, its non stop action, cameras and gear moving like an orchestra from scene to scene, location to location, we shoot somewhere in the neighborhood of 5000 photos in 4 days.<br />
<br />
All this to narrow down our top 20 photos to create these beautiful fashion spreads. If you look a few blog posts back you'll also see the cover of this issue. We were not only excited to be featured on the cover, but we are so excited to share this post with you, here's the latest fashion spread from the winter / spring 2015 issue of Southern Bride Magazine.<br />

When we meet with the editorial team to discuss the locations that would be a great backdrop, we get to pick from destinations across the South. We've shot in Florida, South Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee and more. This time we told the editors about this magical place we found right in our own backyard, Annesdale Mansion. They agreed and we began preparing for the shoot by scouting the location many months ahead. Their team flew in dresses from the top fashion designers, and even a few up and coming designers. Southern Bride has a reputation for shooting some of the best fashion layouts in the world, so this shoot was no different. I used inspiration from Anthropologie and some of the style from their catalogs to give this shoot a beautiful style that brides will love. With the help of an amazing crew of 15, including the editors, hairstylists, makeup artists, fashion designers, interior designers, florists and my photography assistants, we are happy to show you this new section of the magazine. We shoot two sections for this issue, here is the "Inspirational" spread. The 2015 summer issue is on newsstands across the South.<br />

ASI is one of those clients that sought us out for our award winning professional style. Here's an inspirational poster for Nicole McNamee, one of the leading distributors for ASI. Her story inspires thousands of business leaders across the globe, and her work with professional corporations reaches thousands more. I love inspirational stories, it reminds me that my role in telling her story in itself is inspiring. Nicole and I spent a couple of days out shooting in various locations and shot several hundred photos, this one was selected by the magazine editors as their favorite. Let me know if I can help you tell your story!<br />

We've shot weddings there, magazine features, fashion catalog shoots, architectural and nature shoots. It's always a pleasure to spend our summers on the beach on 30A and Perdido Key. Here's a latest press feature in NWFL Weddings where we did the feature shoot for The Sandestin Hilton Beach Resort. If you've never stayed there, we highly recommend it. The beach is amazing, the resort is beautiful, and the Village of Baytown Warf is located on the resort property featuring amazing food, live entertainment, and access to the gulf marina. Here's the feature article and I included the photographer contributor section, just in case we are booked and you need a reference for other great photographers in Florida, we recommend all of these photographers.<br />

About 8 years ago I met the editors at a party, and since then I've shot dozens of inspirational photo shoots for them, traveled across the country, flown to Mexico to shoot for them, created photo workshops for them, and write articles for the magazine. Getting picked to be on the cover is a competition among thousands of photographers around the country, and I'm always excited to get selected from such a large group of professional photographers. It's an honor to be featured on the cover of Southern Bride Magazine for 2015! Southern Bride is across the Southeast in Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina!<br />
<br />
This cover shot was taken on the coast of South Carolina on Pawleys Island, a short drive from Charleston. We had a team of 15 creative people on this shoot, with my wife Janice as the hairstylist. If you look closely, you'll see raindrops in the shot, we managed to grab this shot right before a downpour. The lighting in this spot was simply perfect, and our models had just the right amount of charisma and talent to make this shot magical! Be sure to pick up a copy of the new issue and see the entire fashion shoot from our 2 week trip to South Carolina!<br />
