As the husband of a graduate of the very fine Chapin High School, I of course tagged along to the 20 year reunion. I was ordered volunteered to take a group photo of the attending members of the class of 1989. It was quite a party. While I was there, I took the time to walk around and shoot a few impromptu portraits of the class members. I even set up a backdrop in a side room to shoot a few more formal portraits complete with the blue of the Chapin Eagles. (Well as close as I could get it with a flash and gels.)

A few from a very fun night!

I do have to say that these folks were EXTREMELY good sports to cram together like this and STAY PUT for almost 5 minutes while I made a couple of adjustments to the lights. It’s a little hard to tell at this size, but they all also kept up happy faces too!

When I first met Misty, photography was just an occasional flicker in my brain. (She was 8 I think.. ) Now look at her. All grown up and getting married to a fine young man named Ray. Being pretty close to her family, I was thrilled when she asked if I would capture her wedding for her. And the wedding story starts in the absolutely lovely town of Newberry.
