A few weeks ago, our homeschool group visited Indian Summer Honey Farm in Webster, Florida. We took a tour, fed some goats, watched the bees, got our fingers sticky from sampling honey, and came home with huge jars of the most delicious orange blossom honey. Aaaaand….I shot some ektar 100 on my hassy. All in all, a pretty terrific day![]()
What an amazing day! It makes me want to try to find a honey farm to visit around here
Colin and Crystal planned a destination wedding at the Seabreeze Point pavilion at Disney’s boardwalk. Less than 20 people but lots of lightness of heart. This one was a ton of laughs!
See their cheery wedding feature on Martha Stewart Weddings

WOW WOW WOW
What a cheery wedding, indeed! I love it…beautiful work
Okay, first of all, you were featured on MARTHA STEWART DOT COM!!!!!!! Umm, heck yes!!!!
And secondly, I’m trying to figure out where she wore her beautiful long dress to, like which part of the wedding?
You are so great at capturing those little moments full of personality.
Damn fine work! Real fun, natural moments.
To me, this image conveys so much emotion and movement and is far more beautiful with all its imperfections than it would be if I used a flash and everything was crisp, defined, and static. (Reason #13 I don’t like to use flash unless absolutely necessary.)
I’m trying really hard lately to stay true to photographing things in a way that I find beautiful and moving even if it’s not necessarily technically the most advanced way to make photographs.

Love the expression and their lines!
totally agree. i can feel the dip and motion/emotion so much more than if it were frozen and it perfect living color.
Love his expression. What a fun moment you captured.
You captured the perfect moment! Outstanding.
Such true words and such a perfect moment captured. Definitely keep shooting the way your heart tells you to, because it’s AMAZING
Shipra – this image is real, authentic, and reflects your style perfectly. If you cared about technicalities, I think I wouldn’t have been able to differentiate this image from thousands of others that I come across. So, yes, please continue to be your amazing self
flash or no flash!!
Sarah of Sarah Der Photography is a lovely young woman who came into my life a little while ago, and someone I instantly recognized as a kindred spirit. Not only is she wonderfully talented and a source of inspiration, she’s also funny, a foodie, open-hearted, and extremely generous.
She’s the reason I was able to be a part of Missy & Pancho’s incredibly special wedding last summer. Knowing that I wanted (desperately) to photograph something (anything) with mountains in the background, and to photograph a wedding primarily using film, she invited me to tag along as her second shooter to a beautiful wedding with the Blue Ridge mountains in the background, and to use as much film as my heart desired (love you, Sarah!) You have to adore friends that help you live out a dream!![]()
These are a mix of film & digital images from the wedding I photographed with her at the Afton Mountain Vineyards in Virginia.
