Avory & Corey

July 8, 2009

I love, love, love it when I get to try new things! Avory totally inspired me for these, at our meeting she brought in some photos of dancers with light trails. We’ll be doing something similar to that at her wedding, but the pictures made me think of some other images I had seen using “light painting,” which is when you take a really long picture & “paint” with a light source of some kind. (My husband Cory did the actual “painting” for all of the night shots)

(Note to future/current brides, don’t ever hesitate to bring me a picture of something you like, I might not be able to exactly duplicate it, but I could do something of a similar style or be inspired to come up with something else you might love.)

We had such a fun shoot, Avory & Corey are a super fun couple & so meant for each other!

These first few shots are taken in their studio. The both make glass jewelry, tiles & other objects. You can check out some of their work on Myspace here, very cool stuff! Avory’s jewelry is all handmade though, you can see the earrings she made & the necklace he made in the picture below. In some of the images later she has an adorable turtle necklace on that Corey made for her. I love it!

See the cute turtle necklace!

Some more “light painting,” these two were totally their idea. I love how they turned out!
