We are excited to see a LOT of photos we took for Duke 2010 Men’s Basketball end-of-the-year banquest at Cameron Indoor Stadium show up on DukeBluePlanet.com-2010_Banquet_Section.  The images have been tagged with a fair bit of meta data you will also find oup pictures by looking under the team player.  you will know an image is ours if  you hover over the image and you see the “photo by:  Scott Faber”.  It is also at the bottom on the higher resolution enlargements.

I was recently working on collecting images from weddings we photographed at the Duke Chapel and I thought I’d share a highlight reel.

Here are a couple of pix from the wedding show this past weekend at the NC State Fairgrounds.  Thank you to all who visited.  FYI we will be at 3 more shows here in the 1st quarter.  Washington Duke on Jan. 10 & 11.  the 10 is for brides and the 11th is for event planners.  We are at the Carolina Inn Jan. 31 and at the Umstead in March.

We hope that you will visit us or send your engaged friends our direction :-)

Every year Triangle NACE holds a fundraiser.  This is their/our fourth year of supporting the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle.  Triangle NACE has donated some $30,000 over the past 3 years to support programs that help feed local kids who are “food at risk”.  These kids are at risk of not eating unless they get some assistance.  In years past we, Scott Faber Photography, have donated services and designed tables for the competition but this year we got in a little deeper.  Michelle agreed to be the Event Chair.   This kept her reaaaaallllly busy.  The Inter-Faith food shuttle is a fantastic organization and they just opened a new office in Durham.   We hope that you might support them in their work.  The following are some images from our entry of the “Wicked Table Top Competition.

So, we were up at Hudson Manor in Louisburg on Saturday and we start getting calls saying “a storm is coming… a storm is coming…”  Well, the 60+ mph winds came with a vengeance, tossing chairs, wind blowing water out of a fountain and sending everyone sprinting to the reception hall.  The fury quickly blew thru and then mellowed into light rain. 

After a rush to do introductions and first dances, I set up on the leeward side of the building under the covered porch to get a few more group photos.  Then, just as we finished, the sun burst thru and beams of light turn the light rain into an awesome double rainbow rainbow.

 

I Love it when being good and being lucky come together.

I thought I’d upload a quick video from our recent “Easter in Duke Gardens” photo session. I turned out to be a beautiful day. In fact is was so beautiful that all of Durham came for a visit. It was totally mobbed and the parking lot was full. Fortunately the parking angels were with us and we got a spot.

The photography was a challenge with all the people walking around.  I’m amazed at how many times the general public will park themselves directly behind the client, in the middle of the photo session and then point at us as though we wouldn’t notice that they are right in the middle of our shot….   then ask clever questions about if we are there take portraits… I digress…

So, we found some great and less busy locations, worked our angles and with a the occasional help from Photoshop in post-production… it looks like we had the park to ourselves!

We are excited to see our work featured in our favorite local magazine. We love to photograph weddings at Duke Chapel.

The architecture is awsome and creates picture opportunities that are second to none. We hope you will check it out.

Fyi: The chapel is open to the public and well worth a visit if you have never been there.

We have a few extra copies of Durham Mag. if you want to come by to get one for FREE.

Here is a video we did of their wedding a while back… I thought I’d repost it if you missed it before.
