I have a great job! I very often have the chance to collaborate and work with some incredibly talented people. I would like to use this blog as a place to spotlight the many creatively intelligent people with whom I get to work.
It is no coincidence that I chose the following individual as my first “vendor spotlight”. I have only worked with him once but sincerely hope that I have many more opportunities to work with him again. Adam Barnes is an exceptional photographer who uses his craft to create memories that go far beyond the image he captures. His work is romantic, bold, elegant, and to put it quite simply: beautiful.
Not only is Adam a wonderful artist but he is a beautiful person as well. I was so lucky to work with him on one of my weddings this summer and have waited to blog about Kelly & Paul’s wedding until I could spotlight Adam at the same time. He captured the joy and beauty of their wedding day with grace and style. He has a strong and perfect partner in his beautiful wife Lauren and the two of them worked hand in hand to help us all create Kelly’s perfect day. My favorite part about Adam & Lauren is that they are so madly in love with each other and that love shows through in their work. I would certainly be remiss if I failed to mention Adam’s assistant Kristin who was right by Adam’s side through the entire day and well in to the night. Adam, Lauren, & Kristin make an excellent team who are a joy to work with.
Very often weddings can be, for lack of a better word, crazy and busy affairs that rarely slow down but Adam and his team brought an aura of calm and peace to what was indeed a busy day. I was lucky with this wedding as my bride, Kelly, was meticulously organized and designed her wedding from beginning to end. It was a lot of work to bring Kelly’s dream to fruition but it was easy in the sense that I had fantastic people surrounding me and Adam, Lauren, & Kristin were no exception.
So, without further delay please read on to find out a little bit about Adam of Adam Barnes Fine Art Photography, Inc.
Bio
Since graduating college in 2000, Adam has navigated many adventures, finally landing in one of his biggest endeavors yet, photography.
It has always been an interest of his, however from the time he picked up his first camera until a friend suggested he try it as a profession, his love for this art has grown without bounds.
Adam takes great joy in working with people and he has learned tremendously in his practice as a counselor for children and adolescents over the past seven years. It was not a difficult decision to pursue this career; he has the best of both worlds, people and his humble camera.
His desire is to bring his clients a sense filled with emotion and wonder. Adam believes God has truly blessed our days with happiness. It is his hope to capture a brief moment of it.
With a vendor spotlight I have decided that I want to highlight some of the individual’s personality as well so I asked Adam to tell me his five favorite things:
- Coffee
- Fall
- Vintage Cameras
- America’s Funniest Videos
- Relationships
Because Adam is a photographer, I asked him for a couple of his all time favorite photographs as well as his favorite photographs from Kelly & Paul’s wedding that took place on July 18, 2009:

Adam, it was a true pleasure and joy to work with you. Thank you for capturing the day with such splendid images. And thank you especially for your help with my first vendor spotlight. I could not think of a more perfect person to kick off this portion of my blog. I can’t wait to work with you again, hopefully soon.
