Portrait session at Pagoda Gardens in Norfolk, Virginia. Pagoda Gardens is a an ancient Chinese setting with a tea house, a beautiful garden, a pond, several water fountains shooting up from the pond, and a small waterfall. This is a great place to photograph portraits and to have a wedding.

With the bad economy, I am running a $299.00 special for weddings. Alot of people just don’t have the money to spend because the uncertainty of our economy and hopefully I can help with these hard economic times for those couples getting married in 2009. I don’t expect the economy to get better any time soon, so I will continue to run this special for as long as I can. Couples should reserve their wedding dates now before that date is filled because I do not shoot 2 weddings in one day.

It rained Wednesday morning and stopped around 10 am or so and the sun came out. Great, this is going to be a good day for photos at the Food Fest. NOT!
An hour into some photo shots, it poured down rain and I thought my equipment was going to get drenched but I lucked out and found some shelter.
It stopped again and an hour later, started to rain again. The band that was to play, got their equipment drenched. So, no band!
The rain made things difficult for me to get some great shots. I got what I could when I could.
The people at the event stayed and waited for the weather to clear a little under the tents of the vendors. Such good soldiers they were!!
All in all, it was a great turn out for the Great American Food Fest.
