On what turned out to be one of the most beautiful late Spring days, Ryan and Sara made their declaration in front of friends and family. From the intricate details on every table to our evening photoshoot in a golden field, this was a day to remember.
I thought this shoot was cool so I wanted to share it with you:
We're playing with some ideas for a cover image for an upcoming report. This plays off the idea of augmented reality/immersive technology. Just a concept. Thoughts?

Process:
Knew we wanted a surreal vibe - so combining technology with something natural made sense. Horsebarn Hill is right here and I knew we could get pasture and sky without any interference from trees/horizon. A faculty member from the OPIM dept was more than willing to lend us some students and tech and we went from concept to shooting within 12 hours.
I wanted our subject floating, to add to the sense of VR, so I placed him on a stool (he had a spotter) knowing I could remove the stool legs later in Photoshop CC.
The sun was 92.96 million miles away and to the right of the camera, so all I needed was another punchy light about 10 feet to the left at 600 w/s to add some dimension and make our subject pop.

Kat and Steve are one of the most endearing and equally attractive couples I've had the chance to spend a wedding with. Their Stony Creek and Woodwinds wedding was highlighted with a 72 degree October wave of warmth and it was perfect.
Special thanks to Nick Caito Photography for second shooting and shout out to East Coast Imaging working the video.
