WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO.
Adornment Events
Caring for every customer.
Carisa at Adornment events has to be one of the most caring and professional wedding and event planners I have had the privilege to work with. If you don't make it over to my wedding site www.hpweddings.com very often then you may have missed this project I did for them. I am also very lucky and blessed to partner with them for weddings.
If you are in the need of a planner for your wedding or other big event look no further then Adornment Events.
Maywood Parks 4th 5K
Run or walk folks.
This was the 4th annual City of Maywood Park's 5k Run/Walk. Thank goodness the weather held out to give us a beautiful fall morning. I don't run, but I would think It's perfect with the cooler air. Now forgive me I don't know most of your names so I wont try to tell you the rankings. If you follow the FB page for Maywood, Marci has posted the times there.
So enjoy the handful of photos and if you were part of the run or walk this year and would like a print of any of the pictures click this link ( 2015-5k ) and see many more photos. The opportunity to purchase prints from the gallery is there as well. The gallery will only be up until the 28th of November.
So Enjoy,
HP
Under the Bridge:
St. John's Shenanigans.
Without a moment's notice,
A plump raindrop abruptly greeted the top of my head right as the front door swung shut; the first one of many that would leave Hayes, our senior representative Avery-Kiira Abney, and I, either dripping soaked or running for shelter at each opportunity on Sunday afternoon. Setting off, admittedly with murmured hesitation at the sight of the windshield wipers at full speed, the trio made our way to a beloved and popular location: Cathedral Park, right under the vibrant green hue of the monolithic St. John's bridge.
With the St. John's bridge looming in the background, Avery-Kiira steps in front with one of many naturally-inspired poses.
Unloading, extending, attaching, syncing, and preparing equipment has become nearly an instant reaction when hopping out of Hayes' Honda, as well as setting out a preemptive game plan for any ideas that may be helpful on the shoot. So with a secondary flash and a tripod hefted over my shoulder, we made our way for some initial portraits in the central park. Following a bit of "here and there" posing, along with some more candid snaps, it became apparent Avery was anticipating some more fun and creative shots, so we decided to take an "adventure" by her suggestion, which pleasantly yielded a more natural feel as a result. With Hayes' and her prompts, I attempted to take on a more active role in critiquing details with positioning, throwing out suggestions like "the thinker," and so on.
Avery poses for a profile inside the willow under St. John's.
