I recently had the distinct pleasure to attend an annual event, held here locally. Mountain
Run Jam is put on by the Coleman family on their farm in Sedalia, VA. Centering on
music and ecologically sustainable farming practices, permaculture and general
environmental awareness. Our hosts this year, Allison Coleman and Mark Angelini were
at the time of this event, engaged to be married. They very kindly approached me about
possibly making an engagement portrait for them.
Heading down to Reed Creek, the stream that runs through the property, I found the
perfect spot that would show off an old tree stump, ( Mark is a spoon carver) and the
rushing waters of Reed Creek. The image below is the result. Dealing with low light and
green light, the exposure for my F8.5 lens was 20 seconds. They held still like pros. You
can see the pupils in their eyes.
Thanks so much Mark and Allison for having me capture this moment! You did great!
