Hello, my name is Justin Hankins, and I’m a photographer based in Virginia Beach. I travel around the world documenting the happiest moments in people’s lives. This is my little photo tumblr to post odds n’ ends from my work and other images that inspire me. Note: Much of the information I post is “reblogged” from other people using the Tumblr publishing system. So please exercise caution when following reblog links — they may contain content you find objectionable. Care to connect?

We don’t get to head down to Mardi Gras as often as we’d like (boo!), so we celebrate in the next best way: food. And since the Saints are in the Super Bowl this weekend, we moved our food fiesta up a couple weeks. I’ve gotta brave the weather and shoot a wedding all-day tomorrow, but my heart and mind will be swimming in olive salad.</p>http://photolog.justinhankins.com/post/372812465http://photolog.justinhankins.com/post/372812465Fri, 05 Feb 2010 15:51:39 -0500muffulettanew orleansfoodjustin hankins<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kxc3sfmGkS1qzusxxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong><a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/02/04/AR2010020400878.html?hpid=artslot">Tai Shan leaves the zoo for China</a></strong></p> <blockquote> <p>Tai Shan, the adolescent giant panda who has been a beloved symbol of Washington for the past four years, left town Thursday morning for China after a week of farewells and tearful goodbyes.

They’re a great way to document wedding guests. The main problem with most of them, however, is that they’re often just gimmicky, low-quality setups offered by companies trying to make a quick buck. Usually they fail pretty miserably at creating decent images of your guests. (Which sucks because that’s kinda the whole point, <em>amiright</em>?)</p> <p>So for the past 5 years or so, I’ve been offering my clients an upscale alternative to their photo booth needs. It’s not technically a “booth” — more of a portable portrait studio, where my assistant spends the night taking high quality, professionally lit images. It’s easily the most popular part of the reception.</p> <p>In the past, I’ve only offered it to my own wedding couples. This disappointed a lot of folks who wanted to hire it for dates I was already booked. So last week I spun it off into its own separate business. <a href="http://www.wedbooth.com">The Wedding Booth is now available</a> for pretty much any event, regardless of my wedding availability.</p> <p>(Of course, I should’ve named it anything <em>other</em> than <em>the Wedding Booth</em>, since it’s not a booth and it’s not limited to just weddings. But, well, you go with whatever domain name is available these days. And stuff.)</p>http://photolog.justinhankins.com/post/356387037http://photolog.justinhankins.com/post/356387037Wed, 27 Jan 2010 12:43:55 -0500weddingphoto boothjustin hankins<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kwru9aJyq21qz89xho1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>via <a href="http://freckled.tumblr.com/post/351378256/via-pornodl-com">freckled</a></p>http://photolog.justinhankins.com/post/354549258http://photolog.justinhankins.com/post/354549258Tue, 26 Jan 2010 11:40:51 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kwuajftyg31qzs56do1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>(via <a href="http://dethjunkie.tumblr.com/" class="tumblr_blog">dethjunkie</a>)</p>http://photolog.justinhankins.com/post/354512534http://photolog.justinhankins.com/post/354512534Tue, 26 Jan 2010 11:07:20 -0500<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kwmpicBS7M1qzvbtdo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>(via <a href="http://nightinnantes.tumblr.com/" class="tumblr_blog">nightinnantes</a>)</p>http://photolog.justinhankins.com/post/354507927http://photolog.justinhankins.com/post/354507927Tue, 26 Jan 2010 11:03:07 -0500<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kwbf13oZC21qzn0lyo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>(via <a href="http://fashionovereasy.tumblr.com/" class="tumblr_blog">fashionovereasy</a>)</p>http://photolog.justinhankins.com/post/337058808http://photolog.justinhankins.com/post/337058808Sat, 16 Jan 2010 02:09:01 -0500<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kstklkatXh1qzsw4qo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>(via <a href="http://tweexcore.tumblr.com/">tweexcore</a>)</p>http://photolog.justinhankins.com/post/333683278http://photolog.justinhankins.com/post/333683278Thu, 14 Jan 2010 01:08:34 -0500<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kw254wc0fX1qzahm3o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://mandalay.tumblr.com/post/333010049/via-fabbrunette" class="tumblr_blog">mandalay</a>: <a href="http://fabbrunette.tumblr.com/">fabbrunette</a></p> <p>omg</p>http://photolog.justinhankins.com/post/333484480http://photolog.justinhankins.com/post/333484480Wed, 13 Jan 2010 22:54:25 -0500louboutin<img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kvici8NUjX1qa6fsyo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://mandalay.tumblr.com/post/321896399/fabbrunette-romanticjourneys-daintydoll-femmecherie" class="tumblr_blog">mandalay</a>: <a href="http://fabbrunette.tumblr.com/post/321717369/romanticjourneys-daintydoll-via">fabbrunette</a>:<a href="http://romanticjourneys.tumblr.com/post/320639640/daintydoll-via-femmecherie">romanticjourneys</a>:<a href="http://daintydoll.tumblr.com/post/320568803">daintydoll</a>:<a href="http://femmecherie.tumblr.com/">femmecherie</a></p>http://photolog.justinhankins.com/post/325048253http://photolog.justinhankins.com/post/325048253Sat, 09 Jan 2010 08:01:17 -0500shoesheelsfashionmagazineslouboutin
