Blurry Night, College Station TX
Sarah Williams and I shot a beautiful College Station wedding last weekend at the Messina Hof Vineyard. The reception had a very cool wall of lights that we played around with throughout the night. This is one of the more artistic photos I created. The bride and groom were really into silhouettes so I hope they will enjoy this one. I hope it helps them to remember the little moments they had alone on what must have seemed like a blur of a day.
I love how wedding photography pushes me to focus on mood and emotion rather than technical discipline. There is so much more to telling a story than exposure and focus.
Today is a big day for me because I’m unveiling my new logo, seen here as my watermark. I bought a font and tweaked it in Photoshop. I plan to use it in the banner of my new photography website that will hopefully launch soon. What do you think?
UPDATE: Thanks Fan and Ed for your suggestions! It's funny that I actually have a more creative version that I initially liked more and I posted the two in a private group on Facebook and the people there unanimously liked this one best, for the reasons mentioned by Ed. The creative one was criticized for being illegible and busy while this one is classy and clean. And it took me about six hours to make this logo Mr. Fan, it's not just a font with large P and B. Lastly, a lot of research went into it as I've been looking at logos for the past month or so. I've posted both options to the smugmug daily group on facebook if you want to weigh in!
Critiques are always welcome.
