Nick has been a photographer since the early nineties. He drew a lot of inspiration from his uncle, John Adams, who was a respected fashion and glamour photographer in the swinging 60s through to the 'big hair' 80s in London. His work can still be found in stock libraries in London with the popular resurgence of the retro culture. Nick himself started his career working on cruise ships where he met his wife, Lori (from Colombus Ohio). In 1994 Nick and Lori moved to England with the help of The Princes Trust (an excellent English Charity started by Prince Charles to help young people who wanted to start up in business). Nick set up 'Nick Adams Photography' in a rural market town called Maldon in Essex. During their stay in England, Lori and Nick got married and had their first child Max . In 1998 Lori, Nick and Max moved to Southwest Florida where Nick Adams Photography made a reappearance with better weather and the sandy beaches as a backdrop. Nick Lori and Max have made Southwest Florida their permanent home along with two additions to their family, Brooke and McKenna.

Slow Motion Video Booth!

Slow Motion Video Booth

This weekend we used our slow motion video booth for a wedding at The Sanctuary Golf Club on Sanibel Island. It really is a blast. We have a backdrop set up with lots of props on tables. It literally took a couple of minutes after it opened for everyone to start joining in the fun. The hilarious part is

Slow motion video booth

when people get to see the slow motion video clips right there and then on the screen. You could hear nothing but roaring laughter coming from the booth. The ironic part is that the bride said she wasn’t really “the photo booth type” luckily she trusted our judgment and it was a huge hit. We have had a photo booth for the last several years and while it is fun, this is on another level. You could see people returning to the dance floor laughing and joking….it’s infectious.

The finished product will be like the example video below but much longer. We take all the clips, vary the speeds add some cool music and voila!

If you are wondering how much space you would need: The backdrop is 9′ wide so the booth would need to be approximately 10’x20′ although we can scale down the size of the booth if we need to. It just means you would not be able to get as many people in it.

Call us about pricing, we have discounts for clients that book multiple services with us.

Contact us at 239-395-7671 to hire the slow motion video booth for your next event.

Shelby and Brandon were the Bride and Groom in this wedding. Look out for an upcoming feature on the blog. We are going

to showcase everything from the photography to the wedding film to the finished slow motion video… coming soon!

 

Harley-Davidson Fort Myers!

Scott Fischer and the new Six Bends Harley-Davidson store

Lisa and I had an interesting shoot a little while back with  Scott Fischer, the CEO of  Six Bends Harley-Davidson for the cover of Gulf & Main magazine. Scott is the founder and CEO of Scott Fischer Enterprises. Scott currently owns six Harley-Davidson stores and they are regularly listed in the top 10 dealerships in the country. Scott was a real gent and great to photograph. Lisa and I tried our best to be a little creative with the location of the shot. The obvious place to have done the shot would have been in front of the Six Bends sign (the same angle I posted in Instagram, @nickadamsphotog) but it was way to obvious, so we went for the service bay area. We tried a couple of different kinds of bikes but ended up with a 2015, custom Road Glide all decked out in chrome and painted in the classic Harley orange.

If you are like me and are into bikes, you have to go and check this place out. (actually you should check it out even if your not) It’s sort of like the ‘Bass Pro Shops’ of motorcycle dealerships. You can’t help but be impressed when you pull up to this place.  The showroom is vast and packed full with every Harley accessory or bike you could ever want. If you are visiting the area and want to ride, you can rent a Harley during your stay. The rental program at this dealership is first class. I can say from experience, not only did I attain my motorcycle permit with the (old) Fort Myers dealership but I have rented motorcycles from them too. They are all low milage practically new bikes. Nothing beats the growl of a Harley on the Florida roads.  You can check out his story here:  http://gulfmainmagazine.com/dm/2015/sep-oct

The Adams Family Vacation

I just received an email from a long time client Maggie S. and she had some concerns that we had not been posting on our blog for a while and she was checking in to make sure we were all OK! What a great lady, that is why we love our clients:) I explained to Maggie that I certainly would be posting and that I would share some pics showing what we have been up to this last month. So for anyone else who maybe interested here goes……
 
 Well, Its good to be back after a great family pilgrimage to the UK to visit family and friends. Myself, Lori and our three kids visited some fantastic places. After a flight from Atlanta to Heathrow we headed to my Aunts in Abbots Langley (just northwest of London). We left Abbots Langley the next day and headed for Bristol to catch up with long time friends that Lori and I knew from our time on cruise ships.  We had an impromptu stop at Windsor Castle on the way and a river tour that took us past the famous Eton College. In Bristol we did a lot of catching up and went hiking and touring the surrounding areas. I was fortunate enough to go for a fantastic motorcycle ride with my buddy Ed. Thanks to another good friend Chris, who selflessly lent me his motorcycle. I had the chance to ride on a tricked out Triumph Bonneville scrambler, I couldn’t have picked a more perfect bike to bomb around the country lanes of England on!  From there we went to Wales to hike The Brecon Beacons National Park. We hiked up a stream at Capel-y-ffin in Wales and enjoyed an amazing view over Hereford England (the home of Britain’s SAS) We spent the day in Glastonbury and hiked up to the Glastonbury Tor. We went all over East Anglia, including places like Bury St Edmunds, We stayed in Woolpit (Google “The Woolpit Whiff”:)) for a couple of nights. We went punting on the River Cam in Cambridge. We went to a Maize, Maze in Southwold,  We visited The Woodbridge Tide Mill in Suffolk. We visited Thetford Forest in Norfolk and did a zipline course through the forest called Go Ape. We spent the day in London and visited The Shard and Borough Market. Not forgetting the place I did most of my growing up, the rural Essex village of Tolleshunt Knights. The location of my childhood family home and public house, The Rose and Crown.
All in all it was a fantastic trip. We got to reconnect with lots of great people. I hope our three kids have made new memories for life.
Thanks to all the people that helped make it that little bit more special.
Now back to an exciting new season and year:)
