Happy New Year, everyone!  It’s my sister’s wedding is in the morning and I thought I’d put up some of the images I’ve been working on for her display tomorrow.  These are from her engagements and bridals.

We did some in the studio, and some in the leaves here at my outdoor garden studio…

…and finished at the State Capital building where they got engaged.

And then for her bridals, these are some of her favorites.  These were at the studio…

I’m very excited for my sister’s wedding tomorrow.  As far as the weather, it should be warmer than it’s been lately (the high is supposed to be 32º F), and there’s a strong possibility of snow too.  I hope it does snow because that will mean some very fun outdoor portraits at the temple after the wedding.  I’ll put some images of her wedding soon.

I also need to post some of the wedding album designs that I finished for clients for Christmas.  I was very excited about them and feel they were some of the best albums I’ve ever created.  They were so fantastic!!  Now that the holidays are over and I’m back to a regular schedule again, I’ll get the up online.

Until next time, Amercia!

Well I’ve been out of town a lot lately, and have gotten behind on the blog posts, but I have a lot to put and am not sure if I can get it all up before more cool shoots come along to blog about.

But for now I have to tell you how excited I am about these images from Stephanie’s engagement session.  This first image is a painting that I’ve been working on.  It uses a new technique I’ve been working on and utilizes some of my brand new brushes that I’ve developed for photographers.

I love the feeling of the entire image, how great the couple looks, the vibrant surreal colors, the abstract shapes in the trees and grass….  I’m very excited to get this finished and on canvas!

This next series is a nine-image composite of the couple.  I love how in love they are and am excited for their wedding!

Composites are great for couples I think to show motion, and emotion.  I designed up two for them, this one above and this treo below.

Well that’s it for now.  I’ll get some more of my projects up quickly!  I’ve got a lot of new things to show.

Until next time, America!

One of the things that I love about creating photographs is capturing relationships and preserving those feelings and emotions in an artful way.  Today I worked on this order for a couple that is getting married soon.  The images are from a ‘Pre-Session’….a session of the bride and groom before the wedding.

Emily

I love this image of them hugging each other.  They have such a beautiful sparkle in their eyes.

This is Emily alone in her wedding dress.  It will be finished as a long, skinny, horizontal wall image.

Here is a design I created for them too.  It shows a lot of emotions and feelings all in one composite, designed to keep your eye flowing throughout.

I love doing these kinds of sessions.  They are really fun and fulfilling.  This couple has a lot of love for each other, and I think it really shows.  I wish them luck in their new life together.

So to everyone else out there, remember that you can hire me for this kind of a session whether you use me for your entire wedding or not.  Give me a call and tell me about your dream portrait and let’s make it happen!

Until next time, America!

I have a new portfolio DVD for 2009, and it is all finished and ready for you!  It is formatted for your large widescreen home theater so that you can view the images large and in the comfort of your own home.

Bry Cox - Portfolio DVD

This DVD includes specific slideshows on weddings, bridals, families, children, high school seniors, models, as well as some entire wedding albums so that you can see how I might tell the story of your day from start to finish.  You can order one for free right off my main website, here. (Click on Free DVD on menu.)

You can watch it on any DVD player or computer, both Mac and PC.  The music is amazing and was all written and recorded by my sister, Elise.  Each music score was specifically chosen for each slideshow to accentuate the mood of the images.  It is a wonderful DVD and I know you will all love it.

 ————————————————————————–
Note to photographers: I can understand how other photographers may want to frequent my site, and I appreciate that. However, I received thousands of requests from photographers for my last portfolio DVD, photographers not wanting to hire me but to get ideas for themselves.

If you are a photographer, please understand that I spent a lot of money and time producing these DVDs and am happy to give them for free only to clients and potential clients. I cannot respond to photographers requests for free DVDs, but you can certainly order them for a cost (along with many other photographic items) in the store part of my photographic workshop site.  Thanks for understanding.

And until next time, America!

Today Erica came in to preview her Engagement portraits.  We did the photo session last week during the big rain storm.  Though I had to reschedule some family portraits because of the rain, I LOVE using the rain and weather to add mood to engagement portraits.

We got soaked, but the images look great.  You can see the rain falling in the air in some of them, and I love the look and feel of the air, sky, and the wet ground too.  Here’s a square wall composite from the session — such a beautiful grouping!

I also created a painted canvas portrait for the client using one of the photographs as a reference.  I chose this particular image for this because I love the story-telling in just their legs.  Here is a preview of how it will look when it is finished.

Erica

Her bridals are coming up soon, and I am very excited now for that session.  She is very photogenic and we will create some amazing images, I know.

So, until next time, America!

I had a really fun and amazing engagement shoot over the weekend.  Here are some of the images from it.

They are of my friend, Trish, who is getting married very soon.  This was my first time meeting her fiance.  I think that he is a really great guy, and together they make a really good-looking couple!  I loved how these images turned out.

Next we’ll do the bridal session which I’m really excited for.  She is very photogenic and has a great sense of style.  They will be awesome!

Until next time, America!

You may have noticed that I didn’t get a post up last week.  That’s because I was out of town working. Anyway, I’m glad to be back in the studio again, and here’s one of the fun jobs I’ve been working on.

Today I finished this painting of Ashley and Brett.  They are getting married later this month, and as part of their engagement order, they got one of my painted canvas images.

It is not a photograph, but rather I use a photograph from the session to create a painting that is finished on canvas as a gallery wrap.

Today I finished stretching it and getting it ready to hang.  It looks amazing!  A canvas gallery wrap has an internal frame, meaning the canvas stretches out and around the frame so that you only see the canvas.  It is very classic, contemporary, and hip at the same time.

You should also see this too — the composite design of the couple I finished, framed, and delivered last week.  I really like this and feel it shows a lot of moods and expressions.  I am excited for their wedding.

If you are interested in a painting like the one above or any other photo shoot that focuses especially on your inner mood and emotions, just contact me to set something up.

Until next time, America!
