This week’s blog is about Jonathon and Cameron’s photo session at Piedmont Park. It was a wonderful time for us to get to know each other and to learn more about their wedding in December.
If you know me, you know that I love starting early in the morning. Jonathon and Cameron were early risers too. They were excited to see what Piedmont Park looks like in the morning and to also take advantage of the cool fall weather in the late September, Atlanta mornings. They arrived at 7:20 just before sunrise which was the perfect lighting for the champagne shot .going to do. We quickly walked over to the Greystone Event Center, Greystone is in the western part of the park next to Lake Clara Meer and the pool. It is adorned with an arched entrance supported by large marble columns. In the morning, this area is dark. We made our way there with our bottles of champagne. I placed Jonathon and Cameron in the middle of the columns with the flash behind them to back light them. I gave the champagne to Jonathon and told Cameron to get behind him so she would not get wet when the burst of bubbly came out of the bottle. Jonathon opened the bottle and put his thumb over the opening so the pressure would build and shook the bubbly just like the race car drivers after they win a race. As he sprayed the champagne the flash was backlit them and made the sudsy spray sparkle.
