Elizabeth and Blake: Mutual Weirdness Forever
Disclaimer: I meant to post this on Halloween, but you know, there was that thing where we all choose the person who’s gonna run the country. It was a stressful time, now I’m finally coming up for air.
It's a such a beautiful when two people find love in each other. It's even more powerful when they choose to be open to loving again despite past heartbreaks. Elizabeth and Blake met under very difficult circumstances. They had both been through terrible break-ups that left the kinds of wounds that don't heal easily. But in the midst of all of that, they found each other. And they found friendship, and they found love. It's been a personal joy of mine to watch their relationship grow and watch them build a beautiful life together. May we all be so fortunate to find love and joy even in the worst of times.
When they first told me they were getting married, I couldn’t help my excitement. When Elizabeth told me they were planning to get married on Halloween, I quipped “You can do an Addams Family photoshoot.” I was half-kidding but then she reminded me that Blake’s last name is Adams.
And just like that, the plan was set. We met up just before golden hour at Rose Hill Cemetery in Macon, GA. It’s a beautiful, historic public cemetery, in Macon with many famous people including members of the Allman Brothers Band.
We started off the earlier part of the shoot in natural light because sun sets beautifully over hill on the far side of the cemetery. As we got deeper into sunset, we switched to flash with a 1/2 CTO gel to keep some of that orange from the sunlight.
