rain or shine . wedding photographer

Rain or shine….weddings must go on. In a month of stunning warm, dry weather we had one of the wettest days yesterday. Yet, Grace & Robert’s wedding was meticulously scheduled and planned and was bound to continue regardless of what Mother Nature had in mind. This is just a teeny tiny peek into the spirit of the day, regardless of our overly soaked toes. Congrats Grace & Robert…have a wonderful Honeymoon!

free styled engagement/couple session ???

I am on the hunt for ONE couple…madly in love…comfortable showing it…and willing to trust me to style and document that at a location of my choosing (already have some plans). Engaged is great…but just madly in love is more than enough :). You would need to be willing to travel to NOVA, Warrenton or Fredericksburg, Va for a 1-2 hour session during late May or early June and sign a model release for me and possible publication.

In return I will shoot & style a full session for free & include a $150 ala carte credit.

To enter:

Please send a recent photo of the two of you (phone, snapshots, are all perfectly fine) to marta [at] martalocklear [dot] com and include these questions answered and any other reason you would be perfect for this session!

Who are you?    How did you meet?    How long have you been together (newly in love…longer in love…doesn’t matter)? What do you guys like to do together? Why are you perfect for this give-a-way?

the love affair continues…

As many of you know I have been working pretty hard at perfecting my film skills. On April 1st, I shot the most film I have shot yet, only my second round with Medium Format, and on a very important shoot. I have waited painstakingly for a little over a week for the 15 rolls to get back to see if I screwed anything up. Today I sit here completely satisfied and honestly hating the digital versions I shot. Don’t get me wrong, they are lovely…and are probably some of the best digital images I have taken…but the film blows them out of the water in my opinion. I am sold…100% in love and getting more and more confident in my abilities every day.

This is just one frame, because this is waiting on publication so I am on lock down until it publishes…the next VERY painstaking part of this whole process.

I just had to share something.
