Martinsburg High’s Marching Band

There’s no question that you have to be talented to play a musical instrument. But there is certainly a degree of lunacy which accompanies being in a marching band. 🙂

Upon arrival, and while walking across the football field to where the band was getting in place there was mild cheering coming from the band. Jeff, my senior photographer motioned for an increase in volume, and apparently that also meant a standing ovation for my arrival. I felt kind of conspicuous, but also a bit honored. Many of the parents present were also cheering.

After making a few changes to the setup on the bleachers, and climbing up on the field commander’s platform, I managed to take a few shots of the band. Just before I climbed back down, though, they also wanted a “silly” picture. Happy to oblige, I took one.

Both images are below.

We will be providing photos to Martinsburg High School’s Band Spectacular on September 16. Look for more posts then.

Marcia’s Bridals

We photographed Marcia’s wedding back in May at the groom’s mother’s home. It was a lovely affair, and you can read about it earlier in this blog.

Marcia did want some formal photos done in the studio, and all of our wedding packages include a bridal portrait sitting. So we took some photos in-studio, which apparently made her very happy. Below is one of the back images.

Diana also did some work on one of the photos we took with our big-window scene.

Marcia and her husband are moving to North Carolina this week, and we wish them the best of luck on their move.
