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.

Middleburg Tail Gate

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!

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.
