Alison & Matt’s Aftershoot

by Anne|on July 8, 2011 |in Aftershoots |1 Comment

Where? Atlanta, Decatur, and surrounding areas

Details? Alison is a photographer in her own right, so I was really honored to hear that she wanted me to photograph her and her husband. They’ve been married for a few years now, but they wanted to have a few more portraits of themselves in their wedding day clothes, so they got dressed back up and we spent a lovely couple of hours making some images I really love! Alison wore not one, but TWO gorgeous vintage gowns (and I hear from Matt that she has even more at home)!

Nine months after Tyler and Will’s wedding, I was SO excited to photograph them all dressed up again in their wedding clothes! It was a chilly October day, but they were troopers — and since their wedding had taken place in January, I figured they were the perfect couple to brave the cold!

I have to send a HUGE shout-out to the amazingly talented hair and makeup artist Cayla Roberts, who created a phenomenal updo for Tyler AND gave me some of the most stunning makeup I’ve ever been privileged to photograph. THANK YOU, CAYLA! You can also find Cayla at Atlanta’s Bob Steele Salon.

Check out this hair. LOVE. IT. I picked up these flowers at Whole Foods the morning of the shoot, and Cayla knew exactly what to do with them!

Tyler and Will, you two are such beautiful and wonderful people! Thank you so much for letting me photograph you — again!

Aftershoot: Alissa + Ben

I think the best part of our job may just be the friends we make in the process. We photographed Alissa and Ben’s wedding in 2008, and we’re now lucky enough to call them friends. It made our trip to Washington, D.C. in September even more exciting, since we knew we would not only be photographing a gorgeous wedding, but we would also get to hang out with Alissa and Ben, who moved there last year! Just a couple weeks before we were to leave, Ben e-mailed and asked about surprising Alissa with an Aftershoot while we were in D.C. OF COURSE! I knew we’d be exhausted from the wedding we would shoot the day before, but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to photograph our friends again.

Alissa and Ben got all dressed up in their wedding finery (kudos to them for both still FITTING in their wedding finery!) and we went out of the town for several hours of picture-taking.

These are just a few of my favorite shots from their Aftershoot.

First stop: the subway at Dupont Circle:

I wasn’t sure if anyone would object to us taking clearly-professional photos, but no one seemed to mind. Dan just hand-held a flash bare-bulb so that I could capture these lit shots.

On the subway, we were practically ignored, though Alissa and Ben did hear “Congratulations!” a lot. ;)

The next two pictures are Dan’s:

Let me just say, taking pictures on a subway while it’s moving is NOT easy!

HA. I love that Dan took this:

Dan and Ben went into a CVS to get bottles of water for everyone, so I took a few shots of Alissa by herself. I love the light in this photo.

We made our way toward the Capitol Building, stopping along the way wherever we saw a cool spot for pictures.

We finally reached the mall, and spent about an hour back and forth between the Washington Monument and the Capitol Building. It was SO much fun!

Another of Dan’s:

Alissa asked a local florist to create this little bouquet for her, centered around the purple cabbage. How cool is that?

After a long conversation in which I never did understand the purpose of hiking the ball to someone else to start the play, I finally just took the picture:

Alissa wanted to try some sort of cheerleading move… but it wasn’t really working out…

So we settled for this instead:

Alissa’s bridesmaids carried these parasols at her wedding. I loved getting to incorporate it into a few shots:

We stopped by our hotel room for a little break, and I took a few photos in the room.

I think the doormen at the hotel were REALLY confused by all the coming and going! I’m sure they were wondering, “what kind of wedding IS this, anyway?”

Last but certainly not least, Alissa wanted some fountain photos. How lucky that the fountain is Dupont Circle is so beautiful? We had a little audience gather to watch as Alissa and Ben climbed into the water. We were somewhat nervous that we wouldn’t have time to take any pictures before someone came and kicked us out, but no one stopped us! Yay!
