Snow + Fun Couple = Awesome Engagement Session

A few days before the first of two huge snow storms, Jackie emailed me and asked about doing their engagement session in the snow. We made Plan A and Plan B…we ended up with Plan B since there was two feet of snow falling on the first day. The Sunday after, however, was absolutely amazing....

good job craig! looks like fun

My favorite from my childhood

I am rereading a great book, God Is at Eye Level, by Jan Phillips. It is a great book about how photography is an emotional process and sometimes a healing art. It has helped me become a photographer of moments at weddings. I am always looking for those moments between the couple, with family, and...

Ahhh film…

I might be part of a dieing breed of photographers that still use film as part of the wedding experience. While the majority of what I shoot is digital, I still shoot a few rolls of black and white film, and sometimes color film, at weddings. You might be thinking…wait can’t you just do that...

Canon 7D Review

My 7D arrived yesterday from B&H Photo, along with the 100 2.8 IS L lens. The only comment on the lens is that, as I expected, it is SLOW focusing from...

The camera looks promising!

Thanks for the report Craig.

Why to have a second photographer…

As my clients already know…I always have a second photographer with me at every wedding. Yes, it does add some extra costs to the package in the long run but the benefits are ones that go on and on! So if you are still considering photographers here is one reason you should insist on having...

One more from Dena & Doug

Just had to put up one more post about Dena & Doug’s wedding. Last year I spent a good amount of time at workshops of all sorts. Two that were especially awesome were Jerry Ghionis’ workshop and one by Neil vanNeikerk. The first was all about thinking creatively and the second all about thinking about...

Thank You….

It is always great to get the “thank yous” and “you did a great job” while we are at the wedding, but a special note after the fact is really nice. Here is a little note from one of the last weddings from 2008…Eric and Hannah. Thanks guys!

Even though I definitely voted for the other guy… I really love this shot. Nicely done.

Veronique de Saint Phalle - October 31, 2008 - 4:23 PM

Love it in color! The blues are thematic and there is definitely way more detail to his face. Nice use of selective focus! A man who may well be the next President of the United States of America, campaigning in blue jeans – gotta be in color!

Shakeyia Horne - October 31, 2008 - 3:27 PM

Excellent photos, of course! The B&W was definately my favorite!

Neal Jacob - October 30, 2008 - 2:54 PM

I like the B & W better. Good shot, nicely framed, but you have Obama’s tushie hangin’ out. :)

Matthew Brink - October 29, 2008 - 7:57 PM

Mark Gardner - October 29, 2008 - 12:53 AM

Amazing B&W photo!

David Zaveloff - October 28, 2008 - 11:50 PM

Truly amazing work. Seriously.

Cyndi Klose - October 28, 2008 - 10:01 PM

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that B&W. I’m sure his campaign would love to have it.

Dwight DeWerth-Pallm - October 28, 2008 - 8:49 PM

The B & W really gives a JFK feeling to the photo. The color exposure really makes the rally look like night. Thanks!

Julio Loor - October 28, 2008 - 7:11 PM

I really dig that B&W photo.
Nice Job!

Favorite images?

So I am going through the last 18 months of weddings to pick out some new favorites for the website and a new website with some colleagues in the area. So, whether you were a bride, groom, parent, family, or friend, let me know your favorites that I have captured over the past year and...
