Facebook Page

For those of you on Facebook, I now have a page for Richard Berry Photography (by that name). It gets updated with short notices, updates and photo highlights, much like this blog, but with smaller and more frequent updates.

Bruce and Claire's Wedding

Shot a terrific wedding today: Bruce and Claire. Bruce's family, as well as Claire, are long-time friends. These are two people who were clearly meant for each other.

A beautiful wedding was followed by a nice reception at the Holiday Inn Exec center. In a few weeks, I'll have photos up, but in the meantime, here are some bridal portraits of Claire. These were shot about two weeks ago; I didn't want to show them prior to the wedding.



More images can be found on my Richard Berry Photography Facebook Page.

The full shoot can be found here.

Bridal Portrait session

This past Friday, I had the opportunity to do a bridal shoot with a wonderful young lady named Claire. We had a ball; we shot at the Rocheport train tunnel, Shelter Gardens, and at a private residence. I had some new equipment that really enabled me to go farther than I had before: I finally have a portable power pack for my studio strobes, so now I can go on location; I also have a second hot-shoe flash, giving me more flexibility in my location shoots.

I can't show the photos just yet (not until after the wedding), but I look forward to sharing them!

Fields

The Fields family reunion occurred a few days ago; a couple of days before that, I was asked if I'd do some family shots. Of course! Family reunions are a time when people are enjoying themselves, and a photo shoot can be a lot of fun. They are a very nice, close-knit family, and I think we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Here are a few of my favorites from the shoot:












And of course, the dream-shot of kids world-wide:

Jackie

Recently, I had the pleasure of making senior photos and images with Jackie. Jackie is a senior at Rock Bridge High School.

Jackie is an artist; as a result, she was in sync with me through the whole shoot. She knew where I was going before I could fully frame the words ("Jackie, would you tilt...perfect." "Jackie, I need you to...good"). That kind of synergy makes a shoot a real pleasure. We did several outdoor shots at multiple locations throughout Columbia:

In each shoot, I like to reach for something "outside the box," something that makes the series unique to that person, with a good match for their personality. I think we found it (I love this shot):

After we were done, we did some studio work to reflect her love of Tae Kwon-Do:
