A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to photograph Allison & Andrew’s big day with Christi Falls in uptown Charlotte. They were marred at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church and had their reception at the Westin (a favorite venue of mine!).

Last week we made the unfortunate discovery that our new, beloved Bronica did not function as promised 🙁 I had a nagging feeling that something wasn’t right, but ran a roll of film through it anyway. Jeremy dropped it off at Biggs Camera and went he went back to pick it up… it was blank. Cue a really angry Jessica. I had been so over-the-moon excited for this camera that the let-down was that much harder. The guy at Biggs suggested that we bring the camera in so they could see if they could assess the issue. I took it the next day to discover 2 things…. 1. the shutter was getting stuck open or closed and 2. they had one nearly identical for sale… and $50 cheaper. I left with my broken Bronica, and wanting the one they had for sale (which they demonstrated that it worked properly). After getting the broken one sent back, I went back to Biggs to purchase theirs. I was way too excited! We shot a roll that night and next afternoon, and the next morning Jeremy dropped another test roll at Biggs…. this time… there were actually images on the film when we got it back!!! Here are the first 2 frames we shot in our dining room…. our pooches, Gus Gus & Bender 🙂 Bronica ETRS, 75 2.8 lens, Fuji 400H Film Here’s to many more shoots with the Bronica!

It’s no secret that I LOOOOVE wedding albums. I think every couple should have one…. facebook, email, dropbox…. they’re all great for sharing memories, but who knows if those sites will be around forever. You just cannot beat physical images. I have my parents album in my living room, and I just love looking through it, and thinking about how their wedding day went…. trust me, a storybook of your own to share those memories with your family and friends today and 50 years from now is priceless 🙂 Here’s Catey’s mom’s album…. yep, your parents want to relive your day with their family & friends too!! RedTree 10×10 fabric album Almond Cover Name Debossing 15 Spreads **Note** The 2 mini albums are KISS Mini Albums, which we no longer carry.
