RESIDENTIAL DESIGN

When you have a client who is an amazing interior designer and needs professional photos of their home, the pressure is implied to nail the shoot. We were recently privileged with capturing the warmth, love, and style of Warte' Designs' personal living space.  There is so much character in each and every room photographed that it's nearly impossible to do it justice.  So here's our take on their story...

 

 

STYLED SHOOTS, OUR STYLE

When we photograph people, we usually create story and inspiration boards to help us determine the vision of the shoot.  We create the look from a variety of factors including the client's personality, their style, number of subjects in the shoot, weather, location, etc.  Of course, when we get on location, creativity tends to consume the moment and we may take a little detour from the original storyboard.

Traditionally on our styled shoots we are able to accomplish the stylistic tone, brand essence of the story, and have some time to capture a few extra photos in between.  As a husband and wife team, having two shooters allows for more freedom and flexibility during the shoot.  Here are a few of our favorite campaigns...

 

The following was actually our first photo shoot using a camera in the DSLR world!  We chose our beloved NC State University as the location and certainly learned alot from the experience.  It was tons of fun working together at the very place where we met over 17 years ago, became best friends, lovers and business partners!

IT'S OUR ANNIVERSARY...

OMG, we can't believe that it's almost been six years since we tied the knot at the beautiful Sanderling Resort and Spa on the Outer Banks of North Carolina!  We've been blessed enough to celebrate on the beaches of St. Barths, the luxurious Viceroy Santa Monica, the world's most romantic city of Paris, the clear waters of the Grand Cayman Islands, the sandy dunes of Hilton Head Island, and the world class spa of the Umstead Hotel.

This year, we're asking for your help!  Tell us where we should go.  Should we take Raegan Olivia with us?  If so, what can we do that's baby friendly during vacation?  Should we remain stateside or travel abroad?  Please chime in and help us make number six spectacular!  All suggestions will be considered (unless they're just crazy).  In the meantime, here are a few of our favorite memories from past annuals...
