The number eight is considered lucky in China. Because of it’s “luck” this year’s Olympics began at 8:00 on 08-08-08! But that luck isn’t restricted to just China. Amber Cole & Rich Dawson exchanged their vows in Emerald Isle North Carolina August 8, 2008. The ceremony was held on the beach in front of the Dolphin Ridge Club, with preparations and the reception taking place in the club house. Music was provided by DJ John Drake. The Best Man, Seth Dawson, prepared an outstanding meal for the event. Best of luck Amber and Rich!

New Space!
We’re moving into a new studio location. Look for us at 226 Chatham Street in Newport, NC. It’s going to take a bit of scrubing, sprucing and decorating before we’re up to full speed, but there’s no reason we can’t work in a few sessions along the way. The operation will be by appointment only. You can phone 252-726-5799 to schedule a session. I’ll get some photos up of the new studio in the near future.

Congratulations Brooke & Justin!
Ashton Brooke Wilson and Justin Cody Colgrove had their wedding at the Wilson family beach house, Atlantic Beach, North Carolina, Friday August01, 2008. It was a lovely wedding, well attended by loving family and frineds. Music was provided by DJ John Drake, jdrake@clis.com. Rev. Dr Jeanne M Herbert of Crystal Ministries & Counciling, rev.jmherbert@gmail.com, officiated the ceremony. Catering was provided by Floyds 1921 Resturant. The couple went with chocolate rather than the traditional white wedding cake. The cake was made by Kathy Canby Cakes. The following is a slideshow highlighting the events of the day:
I spent Thrusday evening at the Very Alt-F workshop in Atlanta, Georgia. Hosted by Zack Arias at the Used Film studios, the workshop was presented by John Michael Cooper and his wife Dalisa. John and Dalisa’s altf studios is known for making inovative, artistic wedding images and anti-bridal portraits. In 2007 American Photographer magazine named John one of the “World’s Top Ten Wedding Photographers.” John shared a great deal of information on where he finds inspiration for his unique images, his approach to the business of wedding photography and how he works the images after they’ve been captured digitally. I know I came away with some useful information that I’ll apply to my work.
If you haven’t looked at the main website, rddeckerphotography.com, check it out. I think you’ll like the new layout. Big images, easy naviagation, I’m really pleased with the new look.

New Toy!
I’ve always been fascinated by near-infrared digital photography. It can produce some very gorgeous wedding images and landscapes. I recently acquired a Canon Powershot G2 camera that has been converted to IR only capture. It’s going to take some time and practice to get using it down, but I like the possibilities. Here’s a little landscape example… taken behind the North Carolina Visitors Center on Hwy. 17, near the Virginia border… Big Dismal Swamp Canal:
