Atlanta Wedding Photographers, Climie + Co News

Two years or so, a snapshot.

I’m nearly finished laying out a massive new sample book.  Images in here represent about two years of coverage by Climie + Co.  To be fair, one of them is from 2005, but that’s what we’d call a Career Image, and it will never ever ever go away.  :)

I hadn’t planned on posting this, but most folks will not see this book in person, so this is the next best thing.  Fortunately, I had a helper (hi Brian!) who was able to make the initial selections, taking 41,000+ *final* client images down to I think about 1,100.  Much much credit goes to him for this even being a possibility.  I’m just now digging out from the spring wedding blitz, and I’d never have the time to go through all those images one at a time.  Once he gave me the selects, I got it down to about 400 of my favorites, then setting about the task of laying out this book.  It wasn’t easy!

I experienced, as most photographers probably do, a period of time where I just thought I couldn’t pull together a tight collection of images, that it was a complete waste of time.  I wasn’t in love with our work early in the selection process.  I’d seen it a thousand times.  I was ready to scrap the whole thing and move on.  But then as each subsequent edit was made and I started boiling things down, cutting images mercilessly, a great collection of images emerged.  As photographers, we have to be very self-critical if we are to grow visually.  We have to stand by our decisions, even when others disagree, that an image really is worthy of being presented.  At the same time, we also have to know when we like an images for reasons other than that they stand on their own, and we have to cut them out, get rid of them.  It’s an extremely difficult process, but one that teaches you a lot about yourself and your craft.

Anyway, I sit here immensely proud of the images we’ve gotten for our clients.  We have truly enjoyed working with each and every couple.  It feels good knowing we had a part in preserving their heritage, their moments.

On with the images already!  Each image is a full spread (2 pages).

Take care, and see ya around!

ETA: I’m sure folks are curious, so I’m going to attempt to label the images with the image taker (me or Zack generally).  Notes correspond to the above spread.

    Mark -

    Great job on all these images! I agree we must be very critical with our work to continue to push the creative envelope. You’ve put together a great collection from the past few years and yes, you do capture amazing work for your clients!

    Keep it up!

    I am in love with your work; your approach to wedding photography. Each frame in this book, positioned next to another, is a delectable mix of flavors. I would love to order this book from you or if that’s not possible see it first hand. I understand the process of putting something like this together wasn’t easy. The book in the end is so much more powerful because of the process by which it came to be. Bravo!

    I too would like to purchase a copy of this book… you are my hero (zack too!)

    Wow–so simple, yet so great. We photographers sometimes get so wrapped up with the design of the book, but when you have stunning images, why add more? This is a great inspiration for me to become an even better photographer, so when it comes time to design a book, I only will have to place the images on each page. I love that you get right there in the dance floor! Thanks for being great in all you do. God bless you.
