She Said Yes!


She said yes! We are joining forces!
We had a magical trip to Disney World over Memorial Day weekend, and I finally got to ask Audrey to marry me. It was an awesome few days to catch my breath after the last few months of craziness.
One more week of Goosebumps to go and I'll head back to the real world...

More very soon!

Cosplayin'!

The last few weeks have been a complete blur (more on that later...) so rather than making a dozen new posts to play catch-up I figured I'd just make this a DUMP of  the last month of Cosplay that Audrey and I put together!


Believe it or not, this AGENT PEGGY CARTER shoot happened on the same day as our Guardians of the Galaxy photos! Is she versatile or what?
I'm sure a set of vintage Steve Rogers pics will follow shortly...   


Rey was a really fun one! We found an awesome spot to take photos in Atlanta Memorial Park that felt like a mix of Rey's home planet Jakku, and The Last Jedi's Ahch-To.
We put the staff together from $30 worth of PVC plumbing parts from The Home Depot, and I roughed up and aged my BB-8 Hero Droid one night after work to match the environment we were shooting in.


Newt and Queenie were another pair that have been along time coming! I really latched onto these characters when I saw Fantastic Beasts in theatres. Like GOTG we've been gathering the costume pieces and props for quite a while, finally seizing the opportunity yet again in the Georgian Terrace Hotel in Atlanta. Pretty swanky, huh?


And finally, last and least, my Tower of terror Bellhop.With a Disney trip on the horizon, and having lived in a beautiful old hotel since February, I couldn't pass up this awesome photo-op!
I do hope I didn't spook too many people...

These were a lot of fun to put together, shoot, and edit! 
Granted, Audrey did most of the work, but I had a lot of fun watching her do her thing! 
We had a few more in the works, but my filming schedule didn't allow the time to shoot them... But I'm sure those will rear their heads sooner rather than later.

That's all for now but I'm sure there will be much more to follow soon,

Hooked on a Feelin'!

It's been a while since I've posted here, quite honestly I'd forgotten I even have a blog...  
But this was too fun not share right away! 
The movie schedule has been kicking my butt lately, and putting a halt to all of my personal projects... until today, that is! 

I've posted before about my love of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, props, and characters so this project has been a long time coming. Audrey and I have both been collecting props and costume pieces for well over a year. And today we finally did something about it!


My filming schedule has been PACKED in the last few weeks, so I am sooo happy to have found some down-time on my day off to take a few pictures with my favorite gal... more than 150, to be exact!
We took all of our photos in the lowest level of the parking deck at the Georgian Terrace Hotel in Atlanta, where I'm staying for the duration of Goosebumps 2 shoot. 
You've got to work with what you've got!


I haven't had much time for "ME" projects in a month or so but our Groot prop was a quick and easy $5 project. I found quite a few Walmart Exclusive Vol. 2 Groot figures on a sale aisle and finally nabbed him after a year of (not so) patiently waiting for him to get discounted. A few coats of paint and a roll of paper towels later he's looking much more wooden (in a good way) and was a neat little addition to our pictures!


We are both thrilled with how this project turned out, (although Audrey will probably be washing green paint out of her hair for the next few months...) 
We filmed Audrey's FULL two and a half hour make-up process and will be posting a time-lapse video of that in the very near future. .
 I'm sure I'll put some more pics and video out, too... whenever there's time...
Can't wait for our next set of photos, which we are already plotting, and should be coming along very VERY shortly...

More soon, 
Avery

2 Years!


SAPPY POST ALERT! 

March 3rd marked TWO YEARS with my girl! 
Things in my world were pretty grey before she got here. I don't know where I'd be if we hadn't found each other when we did.
There's no way to list all the things she's done for me and been to me.
She's a Princess, a Superhero, and anything else she wants to be. 
She's taught me that I can be anything, too.
This year is going to be a GREAT one!

More soon, 
Avery

He's Back!
