Sami’s Bat Mitzvah | Prestonwood Country Club

I’m starting to get back into gear for 2010 and what better way to start in then with a little Bat Mitzvah Photography at the Prestonwood Country Club for my blog readers.

There are way too many things to describe them all, so I will just touch on a few of the events that took place during the reception to give you a good feeling of the events.  After the cocktail hour was over, everyone was allowed into the room and as soon as the dance floor had some traffic, one of the dancers from split second sound breaks into a standing backflip.  Needless to say, that got everyones attention at the Bat Mitzvah.  From there Sami was announced and she made her grand entrance coming down the beautiful Prestonwood Country Club Staircase in the grand ballroom and right into the Hora – which is one of my favorite events when it comes to Mitzvah Photography.

The rest of the evening was literally a blur of activities.  The Bat Mitzvah Candle lighting, bread breaking, a cool game called “Sami’s Story” which has people fill out cards earlier answering questions about Sami’s life and winners were given a prize if their name was drawn and they got it correct, pop noggins, slideshows, whew!  I’d like to specifically mention Lee, Sami’s mom, as she planned the entire Bat Mitzvah and really did a fabulous job with it.  My writeup is really not doing this justice so I will just move on to the Mitzvah Photography.

    More sun flare!! Here’s another photo from a recent engagement session in downtown Raleigh. As is usual, we went on a walk around the city and there was a spot with full sun coming thru. The best part was they were standing on a pedestal in the center of a roundabout. 😊

    With the weather getting colder it’s not easy finding an outdoor location with lots of color. Luckily, this engagement session won the trifecta with a gorgeous bride, a handsome groom and some beautiful scenery.

    Ive had the worst time trying to upload photos but I think I’ve got it sorted out. This is an amazing wedding image I shot last year for a Nashville destination wedding. It had been raining all day and we were fortunate enough for the sky’s to clear for this amazing sunset.

    Time for something a little different... this is an editorial shoot for @midtownmagazine with the amazing artists at @ivey_artistry. Yes, it’s edgy and it’s one of my favorite shoots from that issue.
    It’s a little emotional to post this photo. It’s from the last wedding I photographed before the COVID quarantine. To say we overcame obstacles would be an understanding. Wedding changing locations & sizes 3 times within a week of the wedding, travel issues, etc. Thru it all our bride not only remained calm, cool & collected, but she really personified what’s important with weddings... to be there with your fiancé and celebrate what you have - not what could of been. Congratulations to you both! -

    I’m not sure I fully understand why, but I feel compelled to post emotion packed photos.. happy, fun emotion. I think, in part, it’s because everything I see right now is negative, dramatic and just “heavy”. I was scrolling thru photos and this made me immediately smile. One of the things I love trying to capture at wedding receptions in shapes formed by people. Obviously, a circle, tunnel and lines.. but getting more geometrically interesting shapes just rings that inner composition bell for me.

    So much is happening in the world right now. Restaurants are closing, weddings are being re-scheduled, re-imagined or just cancelled altogether. What a time to be a photographer... we often document the happy, sometimes the moment and other times, just a person. All of these are important and, right now, I think we all need a reminder or happier & less stressful times. One of my favorite photos is when my wedding couples walks outside the church/building doors. The air smells different, the light looks different and at the core of your being, you know it s different. I can never fully explain it with words but I try to show that emotion in photos. He’s a perfect example of, to me, what that moment looks and feels like. Hopefully we can all take just a moment today and smile, just a little, at remembering those or similar moments in our life. .

    Something we always discuss in the abstract is how adversity can stoke creativity. This shot is a perfect example of how severe church restrictions lead to a really cool photo. We were not allowed to shoot from inside the sanctuary, only from the balcony. Where it could’ve been worse that gives us a “one note“ feeling for the ceremony photos. I had my second photographer go to the balcony while I hunted for cool photos from the ground floor. This was shot through a crack in the main door. After some adjusting (and burning legs trying to hold the exact angle) I came up with a really cool photo in my opinion.
