Longview Mansion and some self-portraits

Yesterday I went out to Longview Mansion to scout the location for a wedding I am shooting on Aug. 4th. I met Marsha, the manager, and she is a super nice lady that showed me around the place. Longview Mansion is a photographers haven. It is so beautiful with brilliant lighting in so many rooms. I can't wait to shoot there. Here are some of the photos of the interior rooms.




There is also a stone colonnade down by the water that is so rustic and perfect for some great bridal shots. I took the time to take a few self-portraits while I was down there. I didn't have my tripod so I got creative with setting my camera on the ground and elevating my lens with a piece of stone. This was after I got bored of shooting my mug so close-up by holding the camera out in front of me. Here is a couple of my favorites.
