They Say It's Your Birthday: Event Photography

Event photography usually centers around happy occasions, and a birthday is certainly that.  Kelly's birthday party had a Country Western Theme at the Lynnhaven Barn.  It started in the late late afternoon of a beautiful day and offered many photographic opportunities to tell the story of Kelly's day.

It was a great time to get some family portraits.  Make sure you take advantage of getting family together, some of whom may have traveled a great distance to attend.

Telling the story includes setting the scene:

As the night took over, we went inside and balanced speedlights with the available light to get some candid and posed shots.

The birthday cake complimented the theme perfectly.

When working with a photographer for your event it is important to communicate what you want photographed, including special people who will be attending. Kelly provided that so we were able to capture the moments, and people who are special to her.  Events have a story and emotion, and as a photographer, it is fun and rewarding to capture the emotion and flavor of the event.

Enjoy the day,
George
