2008-03-08T19:15:00.000-08:00

It's been a while since I updated this blog. Sorry guys. Here's some engagements I did on one of the coldest days of the year. Matt and Amy take a lot of walks down the Cardinal Greenway and wanted some outdoor pictures of that. We did all we could before we froze. It was a fun experience. Here's some of my favorites.

Bridal Show Columbus

2008-01-29T10:49:00.000-08:00

We had a great time at the Columbus Bridal Show this past Sunday. There were a lot of great vendors there. We met lots of great people. There were also a lot of great brides and grooms and their friends and families that came and met us as well. I hope all of you that attended found the vendors you were looking for. We handed out postcards with a special Bridal Show discount, but we decided to provide this discount to anyone who'd like to take advantage of it. Attached to this post you'll find the card's discount. Email me if you have any questions or would like to set up a time to meet. Don't forget to reserve your wedding date before someone else does.

Gracie @ 4 years old

2007-10-13T09:06:00.000-07:00

I had the privilege of photographing Gracie. It's been a tradition in their family to get every daughter's pictures taken in the flowergirl dress from their parent's wedding. It was Gracie's turn, and unfortunately, their former photographer went out of business. Luckily, they had seen some of my work and gave me a call. We did a lot of white on white to match the photography of her sisters. Here are some of my favorites.

Matt's Senior Pictures

2007-08-18T14:27:00.000-07:00

Part of my senior photography is the "have camera, will travel" idea. My studio is a travel studio. I can set it up anywhere. I try to bring along the backgrounds I think most fit the senior. But what I really like doing is getting in each senior's environment or a place that's special to them. That way it forces me to be creative, and hopefully, each senior gets something unique. Matt Mclain's pictures were a lot of fun. Matt's parents just finished their new house on this large property they purchased. We had a lot of options. Shown here are some of my favorites. Matt had a great truck that I was able to create a nice composite with.

Heidi's Senior Pics

2007-08-15T16:47:00.000-07:00

I did some senior pictures recently. They are of a girl named Heidi we knew from where we used to live in Mitchell, IN. I go to the Mitchell, Bloomington, and Seymour areas and do photography often. It's convenient because we have family down there. Heidi was very nervous about her pictures, but she loosened up and had fun. These are some of my favorites.

Hunt/Wallace Engagements

2007-08-14T11:56:00.000-07:00

Katie and Adam were a great couple to work with. We started with some beautiful, well posed traditional images. Then, we went to the park where Adam had proposed. Here are some of my favorites. This first image is definitely mantel worthy. I can't wait for their wedding next summer.

Pichardo Wedding

2007-08-09T11:09:00.000-07:00

I finally caught some time to add some things to the blog. First, I'd like to show everyone some of my favorite images from the Pichardo Wedding. Leah and Pedro were married on July 7th of this year. It was my first Mexican wedding. I liked the lasso or cord part in the ceremony, and the reception was a lot of fun. I hope to add some of their images to my official website once I make time to overhaul it.

I haven't mentioned this before on the blog, but, as you can see on the second image I refer to it as a storybook wedding. Storybook weddings is how I refer to my wedding photography. With my wedding packages, brides and grooms can get a designer storybook of their favorite images. Please go to my official website to see more: www.mwilliamsphotoart.com . Thanks.

Engagement Caricature

2007-08-01T14:02:00.000-07:00

Aimee and Marc were the first couple to ask for a caricature along with their engagement photography. It was fun going back to my illustration roots. Maybe, more couples will be interested in one.

Chicago Engagements #2

2007-07-03T13:26:00.000-07:00

Here's the rest of the pictures from the Chicago engagements. Soon to come a caricature of Aimee & Marc.

Chicago Engagements

2007-06-26T16:18:00.000-07:00

These pictures are from the engagement session we did in Chicago. Aimee & Marc were a lot of fun. I made some creative changes to these images. These are only 10 of the 23 they chose. Some shown here also show what they would look like black & white or sepia toned. I hope to have the rest online soon.

Chicago....or Gotham?

2007-06-25T11:10:00.001-07:00

My wife, Laura, and I recently went to Chicago to do engagement pictures for a great couple there: Aimee & Marc. I decided to create this blog so I can show them some of the nifty creative changes I'm making to their pictures over such a distance. Anyway, while we were there we had the privilege of seeing a movie being filmed. Now, anyone who knows me well can tell you that I grew up loving comic books, especially Batman. That's how I got into art and eventually the photography side of it. Well, Laura and I were headed to the train station you see in the back of this picture when we saw a crowd standing on the left side of the street (the side we were on,) watching a movie being filmed underneath the Chicago theatre.

The marquee said Moscow Ballet and on the sides Giselle. There was a poster underneath the marquee of the Moscow Ballet with a big sticker over it that said, "Cancelled." They were filming a couple getting out of a cab, walking up to the theatre, and being disappointed over the cancellation. Now, none of that is incredibly significant except for the taxi cab, which said on the side Gotham then some numbers like Y9789. I knew exactly what was being filmed, and hopefully, some of you do as well. Batman Begins 2 aka The Dark Knight. I knew they were filming in Chicago. And the city Batman lives in is Gotham City. I can't wait to see the movie and the scene we saw being filmed. In case, you're in Chicago sometime soon and come across a movie being filmed the code name for BB2 is "Rory's First Kiss." Rory is the director's son. I knew about this before I came upon the filming. A lot of people heard that it was Batman being filmed, but then asked the workers, who were telling us not to use any flash photography, what movie it was. When they heard the codename they walked away. A lot of people were also asking, "Where's Batman at? In the cab?" Yes, people, Batman takes a cab in full costume in broad daylight. Aaron Eckhart showed up right before we left. I'm not sure if they were going to film him doing anything or not.

Anyway, this picture is from the following night. I didn't have my camera with me when we watched the filming. As you can see they've changed the marquee and everything. It was just a fun thing to see on a great trip.

My New Blog

2007-06-25T10:24:00.001-07:00

I decided it was time to create a blog. That way my clients can see some of the images I'm working on as I'm working. Hopefully, I can motivate myself to stay up to date with it.
