The Fall edition of Southern Seasons magazine features the wedding of Robin Best and Brian Gage.
Here is the 2-page spread, including many of Robin and Brian's favorite photographs.

New York is beautiful in the Fall! We are here for a wedding this weekend, and I had the opportunity to visit to one of my favorite stores in Manhattan, Harry Winston.

Harry Winston's relentless pursuit of perfection has always inspired me. As an artist and a craftsman, he was wholly committed to creating a superlative experience for his customers.

I believe wedding photography is primarily about creating an experience for our clients and their families. From beginning to end, from sales to shooting, from post-production to album design, we strive to create a superlative experience for our clients. Often, this means sweating the details. Because...in the words of Harry Winston:

"Nothing perfect ever rolled off an assembly line.
Perfectly symmetrical, yes, and perfectly attractive.
But nothing perfect.
Perfect is breathtaking.
Perfect is inimitable.
Perfect comes from staying awake until 2 am deciding whether to tilt a stone one hundredth of an inch this way or that."

If it weren't enough to have exquisite jewelry and a powerful brand, their recent ad campaign, created by Alexander Duckworth's talented team at Point One Percent, is among the best I've seen. The subtle black and white portraits were created by Richard Avedon. Harry Winston was the last advertising campaign Avedon photographed before his death in October 2004.

Here is my favorite of the photographs:

We are pleased to announce...

I'm currently attending the Pictage Partner Conference in L.A. If anyone else who reads our blog is attending, I'd love to see you. If we haven't met before, don't be shy, I'd love to meet you!

This charcoal drawing is by my brother, Phillip Adams, who currently has an exhibit of his recent charcoal drawings at Project 4 Gallery in Washington, D.C. The exhibit recently received a short review in the Washington Post and the reviewer spent most of her time looking at Phillip's artwork! For our wedding gift, Phillip gave Erin and me one of our favorite paintings of his (below), which completely blew both of us away. I've always been amazed by my brothers' (both Phillip and Kenneth) ability to bring the ideas in their heads to amazing works of art. If you're in the D.C. area, stop by the Project 4 gallery and check out Phillip's work. The exhibit is on display until September 9th, so hurry! I keep trying to get Phillip to update his website with recent work, but he's so busy creating new work and doing things like getting his work in galleries, that he hasn't had time to update his site, so most of it is pretty old, but still great to look at. He's currently working on a couple of murals in Philadelphia.
