American Star Ball

I have been slacking! It has been quite a few posts since I have posted ballroom dance photos. This is the event that I shoot the most, and I think I am pretty good at it by now. Our next event is right around the corner, the American Star Ball at the Golden Nugget in Atlantic City, NJ. Keeping fresh by shooting other assignments has me itching to get to the edge of the dance floor again. Here are some of my favorites from last year’s event.

At this time we are getting excited about our trip north! The new organizers, Amanda and Ilya Reyzin, are also getting ready to put their stamp on this event. Since this will be their first event as the organizers, they have said that they have changes coming! By all means, they have a great canvas to work with. The ballroom at the Golden Nugget is in fact my favorite room to photograph dance events!

Middleburg Point to Point

Another beautiful Sunday! The wedding I photographed as an assistant yesterday went well. As can be seen, I do not do as many weddings comparatively to the start of my career. When you do not do it consistently, it takes a little more out of you. Today, I’ll recover a little for sure. There was a lot of lifting and walking yesterday! Hopefully, I was useful as an assistant and second shooter.

With the Kentucky Derby run yesterday, I was reminded of our day at the Middleburg Hunt Point to Point last weekend. Besides the horse racers and tailgaters, there were also lots of other animals in the crowd enjoying the festivities. The horses were not the only animals roaming the park on Sunday. Being a large outside park, pets were welcome to attend. Many dogs came to visit, some of them even dressed for the Best Bow Tie and Best Bonnet contests. The owners were proud to show off their costumes and introduce the crowds to their costumed contenders.

What a gorgeous day outside today! I have a great assignment on a day like today – some family photographs. It is definitely a change from the weather of last Sunday. I have finished the edits from the Middleburg Hunt Point to Point, and have found a few images out of the drizzly day at the races.

These were taken while I was following the judges as they made their way by all the tailgaters as they had their cars and tables setup to host guests. The effort that went into these displays was amazing – so many colors of decorations, plates of food, and plenty of drinks to pass around! The judges had to discuss before declaring their winners. It had to have been a tough decision process.

Here are some of my favorites from following them around. Although it was a highly contested prize, everyone that participated were in good spirits. All in all the colorful dresses, hats, and ties brought a pop to a very gray day. Have a great weekend everyone!
