Lauren's Bridal Portraits


Lauren, originally uploaded by 2&3Designs.

This past Wednesday Sarah, Krista, and I were able to take the bridal portraits of Lauren. We had a beautiful but hot evening and came away with a set of nice shots. Lauren's cathedral length vail makes for a beautifully dramatic image. Lauren's wedding was this past Saturday, so we will have more images to come!

Ben and his BMW

This past Sunday we took some time out around sunset to take some pictures of our friend Ben and his bike. We pulled off onto a very short side road, it was only about 25 yards long. Needless to say there wasn't any traffic, thus perfect for pictures. We used 5 strobes for this shot, 3 in umbrellas and 2 bare. The only thing this picture didn't capture was the humidity!
Thanks Ben!

Nikki's Men


_5316394, originally uploaded by 2&3Designs.

This past weekend we had the opportunity to photograph our good friend Nikki's wedding. Her husband Tommy (second from the right) and his groomsman and ushers paused for this shot. Kinda Blues Brothers, kinda Men In Black and a lot of fun! This is my personal favorite out of the formal shots. We shot this one with 3 strobes, one high camera left at 1/2 through and umbrella, one low camera right through an umbrella at 1/4 and a strobe on the floor below the cross aimed up at 1/4.
Thanks Nikki and Tommy!

Top 10!


Yeah.... she's better than me!, originally uploaded by LShadrack.

Sarah and I entered this photo into a photo competition which was voted on by the public and we made the top 10! Now we are waiting to be judged by a pro photographer to see who gets the top spot. The winner gets a $1600 7-14mm lens!! We're cossing our fingers over here. I think we definitely have the most interesting image. We'll see what the Judge thinks...
Here is a link to the Top 10:
