So where do you go for an engagement session after you shoot up San Francisco?
You guessed it - we rocked Hendersonville, NC baby! WhooHoo!
I only say that half jokingly. Hendersonville's a pretty cool, little town.
Britt, Chris and I met at Hannah's downtown and filled ourselves with some fried goodness before hitting the streets.
We've been twice now and I can definitely recommend the fish-n-chips and the calamari. That is unless you don't like calamari - then it's still gonna suck.
After spending some time downtown, we took a trip up the mountain to Jump Off Rock - where Chris and Britt are going to have their ceremony. We were rewarded with an awesome sunset to shoot with. Not only that, as I was setting up my lightstand and flash I was fortunate enough to have a nice lady come over and school me on the proper ways to use my camera's flash. It seems placing your hand in front of the flash after it opens produces much more desirable results. She was even kind enough to scroll through hundreds of pictures on her camera to show me some examples she got on her trip to France. People are funny.
In her defense, she was shooting art (paintings, sculptures, etc). A diffused flash is much better in those situations and she had found a pretty rudimentary diffusion method. But, good for her. She's not afraid to play and learn. It's all about the image, you gotta do what it takes!
Here's some of the shots we came away with! (I elected not to put my hand in front of my flash :)
