Recent Wedding - One of My Favorites

Every event presents opportunities to capture special images. This picture is one of my favorites from a recent Raleigh wedding at the Long View Center. The three kids are siblings and they are ringing the church bell after their aunt's wedding.

Something new is blooming

We are about to spin out our wedding and portrait entity to a new identity. Commercial work, performance imaging, musicians and headshots will still be under the name Richard Cox Photographics, LLC. Weddings, children, family shots and individual portraits will be taken under the Orchid Hill Studios brand.

Watch for more information and a new website in the coming weeks.

Julie and Landin

On Sunday, I shot engagement pictures for Julie and her husband-to-be Landin. Julie and I worked together in Neuroscience research until recently. She's now at the NC State Vet School studying the genetics of cancer and Landin is an engineer. We had a perfect Fall day for taking some great pictures. I should have all of them ready by this coming weekend.

Feeling the Love - Weddings and Engagements

This weekend I shot a wedding on Saturday & engagement pictures on Sunday.

My Friends Chris & Lynn got married on Saturday at the Longview Center in Raleigh. They had their recepton at Caffe Luna. How many weddings have you been to where the bride and groom rock out at the reception? Chris and Lynn are both fantastic musicians and songwriters. Chris is a member of Zegg. Lynn has her own group called Joe Lies. In addition, Lynn is a writer who is currently publishing her first novel.

I'm working on their pictures and hope to have them ready by this weekend.

On Sunday I shot engagement pictures for Julie and Landon. I'll feature them in the next blog.

Loki Festival

The first Loki Festival was held last weekend at Deerfields just south of Asheville. We tried to focus as much on the attendees as we did on the bands.

It was definitely Fall in the mountains and we had a great time!

Many more images on my website. www.richardfcox.smugmug.com

UNC Chapel Hill part 2

I just finished editting about 500 images from the UNC CH shoot. Now I understand the guys who lament just dropping off the film at the lab.
BTW, the attached shot is of Meredith Gellman who assisted me. The pressure was on for us because her Dad is also a photographer.

UNC Chapel Hill Photo Shoot 30/72

I just spent about 30 of the last 72 hours shooting at UNC in Chapel Hill. The Admissions Department is updating its website and wanted some new images.

I am in awe of the talented students from all disciplines at Chapel Hill. I even got to meet and shoot basketball player Marcus Ginyard! Sorry...can't post those pictures here.
