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!

American Star Ball – getting ready

In a few weeks, we’ll be going up to Atlantic City, NJ for the American Star Ball. This will be our 4th time covering this event as the official photographers. This year, the event is under new ownership, Amanda and Ilya Reyzin. I was happy that they wanted to continue working with us at the event. We try to work with competition organizers to get them the best images of dancers and venues so that they have images to promote their event and give dancers dynamic images to take home from the event.

If we are a part of a decision for dancers whether to attend an event, I would be very proud. When we got to events, we are asked our upcoming schedules, so I hope at least some are tracking with what we are doing. I’m sure there will be lots of changes with the event this year, but I am excited about getting the chance to cover them for everyone that plans to attend this year. Stay tuned to the blog or the Facebook page for updates during and after the event.

This Sunday, we went out to the Middleburg Hunt Point to Point races in Middleburg, VA. Last year was the first time we were invited to this beautiful event in the some of the most beautiful country that Virginia has to offer. Glenwood Park allows for a very open view of all the races. Not only is the racing action exciting, but there is a lot of activities in and around the track. You can go to the paddock to see the horses as their trainers and jockeys prepare them for races. You can browse the vendors that are in attendance for food and apparel appropriate for spending a nice day outside.

Most of all, you can view the spread of tail gates that are placed for competition around the perimeter of the track. There are beautiful displays and delicious food and drink arranged in traditional (served out of the back of a vehicle) and non-traditional categories. Last year did not have a cloud in the sky, this year was a little rainier. It did not dampen spirits around the track, and I tried to make some nice photos. While I edit those, here are some from last year’s Point to Point. Enjoy!
