One of the true pleasures of being a photographer is not just the fact that you meet scads of great people, but also in the way we meet them. I had the opportunity to shoot the behind-the-scenes for Extreme Home Makeover in Farmville, VA early last year. Assigned to the same story was Leigh Forrester from the ABC affiliate in Lynchburg. She, along with her cameraman Matt Franz, absolutely made my week with great stories and constant banter as we battled extremely cold and rainy conditions throughout the week. It was sad to see them go at the end of it all, but what a surprise when Leigh called to ask if I would photograph her (and introducing the groom…Josh Farmer!) wedding in the lovely, quaint town of Onancock, VA. I’m sure you know what the answer was. It was an absolutely delightful evening and a stunning backdrop was provided by the Chesapeak Bay and a perfect sunset. We hope you enjoy the images.
Don, your work is absolutely stunning. I am a big fan!
I am Matt’s dad and he has raved about your work on the Home Makeover project.
I look forward to seeing more of your efforts.
Best regards.
Absolutely perfect photos! I’m glad I came across them via StumbleUpon. These shots capture a beautiful day in the lives of the subjects and also serve to remind me that there’s a simple and amazing force on this planet called “love” that might just be the true meaning of life.
Thank you!
Lovely work. You seem to have really captured the atmosphere of the wedding and reception.
