As a Raleigh Wedding photographer there are times as an artist where you just want to photograph for yourself and not have the pressure or the expectations of someone else. This session is just that. Courtney and Johnny are a couple, not married or engaged and kindly agreed to be my models for my photo session. I wasn’t sure this would even happen b/c of the rain but a wedding photographer friend of mine, Brian Mullins, informed me I could put a trash bag over my camera and shoot through a hole. Ummm can you say scary,lol. I trusted him though and gave it a shot. Let me just say I don’t know how photographers back in the day use to shoot with a black cloth over their head. I felt inhibited, a little claustrophobia, but in the end it was better than no shooting at all. For my photography buff’s this whole session was photographed with available light, no flash was used. I also chose to photograph the whole session with my long lens 200mm. Raleigh wedding Photographers
I wanted to go back in time but knew I would need help doing so. With the time frame I was dealing with I knew I would need someone who could do both hair and make-up. Ginger Mullinswas the prefect fit. I don’t even know where to begin about Ginger. The picture I sent to her letting her know what my vision was, is exactly what the end result was. She transformed Courtney right before my eyes and when Courtney walked out in her dress, my mouth dropped. Courtney looked like she had just stepped out of a 1920′s time zone. Courtney’s hair style is called a “Finger Wave”, and it means just that, Ginger did the hair style with her fingers and a comb. The amazing thing is that Ginger had not done a Finger Wave in about 15 years, but you would have thought she did it every day by the art she produced on Courtney’s head, and yes I said art b/c it was. If you are looking for someone to do hair or make-up for weddings, bridal portraits, events, etc Please contact Ginger Mullins. Thank you Courtney, Johnny, and Ginger for helping to make my vision come alive.
