Drue + Jeremy:: Married! {The Farm, Asheville NC}
I second shot for Sarah Rominger Photography over the weekend at a beautiful wedding in Asheville, NC. The venue is The Farm Party Barn and while the name is goofy the place is beautiful! I am so in love with this venue that I may just have to find someone to marry me so I can have my wedding there! (Kidding!)
The ceremony took place in front of a gazebo on the property and just before their first kiss as Mr & Mrs, the couple released butterfly's. How cool is that!? The wedding party was a lot of fun and the boys from Princeton definitely "got down" on the dance floor.
All in all, it was a great time and a wonderful wedding. I wish you both health, happiness and love for all the years that follow. May this chapter in your "book of life" be the happiest yet!

Hunter is ONE!
This adorable little man turned one last weekend and he, as most one year olds, was more interested in the paper and boxes than the toys! He's such a happy little boy, full of smiles and giggles (also tantrums and screams but what one year old isn't?). Mom, Stefanie, had his birthday party at their house and she did a wonderful job decorating with the very appropriate theme of monkeys.
Happy Birthday Hunter!
Greenville Wedding Photographer | What is ‘Photojournalism?’
As you scroll through wedding photography business sites there’s a common word, photojournalism. If they’re all claiming to possess this technique then why are their images so different?
I went through my parents wedding album the other day(35 years ago next month, go mom and dad!) and saw a lot of posing and staged shots. These are shots I tend to stray from. It’s inevitable that photographs of the family with the B & G will need to be set up, but why stay in that frame of mind? Think outside the box and incorporate your surroundings to aid you in your creativity.
So the big question here is ‘What is photojournalism?’ Think about it for a moment; what is it that a journalist does? They find a story and they capture it through their descriptive words to insure that you feel as if you were there yourself when reading the story. A photojournalist has the same effect on viewers. As you flip through the photographs you feel the moment, you feel the emotion and you feel the real events of the evening. Weddings are full of emotion and should never be bottled up and contrived.
Creating the moment, setting the atmosphere, stand here, put your hand there… those are not traits of a photojournalistic photographer. The moment is already created and it is our job to capture it, as is. The atmosphere is beautiful and full of love, why change that? A good photojournalist needs more than just camera skills. Personality and people skills are just as important. A photographer must be able to interact with the guests and make them feel comfortable with the camera and with themselves. It is our jobs, as photographers, to capture the moment as it happens and to capture you and your guests flawlessly.
I personally like to be in the middle of the action. A lot of photographers prefer to stand in a corner so they’re out of the way. I agree with that to a certain extent. But when guests are huddled and having a great time, I want to be right there with them snapping away and catching every moment of it.
The publics perception of photography is not what it used to be. As I have stated in a previous article, anyone can buy a fancy camera. It is important that the public understand that photography is an art and a craft. A lifetime of memories should not be jeopardized in an attempt to save money so when planning your wedding make sure to leave room for a professional photographer. If chosen for the right reasons, you will never regret spending the extra money.

Spartanburg Family Photographer | Farrell Boys
This started off being one of the most flattering shoots ever. I got out of my car at the field to meet with James (9) and Spencer(5) for a evening session and James says "You're beautiful." You've taught him well mom! Flattery will get you places in life!!
We met in Holly Springs at a big open field with nothing but grass, kudzu and grass hoppers. We played ball, frisbee and bubbles until the heat had us all worn out. I will not give out my new top secret trick to making a 5 year old boy laugh. It stays between me, Spencer and the grass hoppers. :o)
Florida: T-minus 20 hours
The count down starts! The gear is packed, the batteries charged, my new and amazing camera is fabulous and ready to shoot. Oh yeah, the clothes are packed too.
I am so excited to come home this weekend and we have a LOT planned starting with a funky / grunge session tomorrow night right after we arrive. Brook & Mikes wedding will take up Saturday and I can't wait to see what you all have planned! Sunday we're hanging out with lil Evan and his hot momma Melinda for a kiddie lifestyle session followed by an E-session with a wonderful couple, Danny & Amy. They are so much fun & artistic. I have some fun ideas planned for this shoot. Monday is the last day we will shoot in Florida. We are starting with a newborn session; lil Miss Rylee made her debut into this world just a few weeks ago! Later that evening is another E-session: Matt & Lisa. You all remember a few weeks ago when we traveled to the Bahama's and I shot Matt, my brother, proposing to his girlfriend? It's time for their E-session!
So many fun sessions and ideas are brewing in my head that I begin to forget I have a new camera to play with. No, not really. The camera is amazing, how could I forget? It is my new best friend and my only true love. (That's a little much, I know..)
I hope to at least post some sneak peaks on the blog and FB at the end of each night but we are going to have a TON of images to sift through and post - so this time it may take a few extra days. (If my OCD will allow it)
We'll that's it for now! I hope everyone has a great weekend and the rain stays away!
