Last month we were fortunate enough to be able to take the bridal portraits of the now Jennifer Hand. We drove down to Bear Creek to a beautiful estate with an incredible house where we did the shoot. Jennifer did a good job of putting up with Sarah and I. This is the shot Jennifer chose for her printed bridal portrait.

Jennifer married Randy Hand today. Congratulations guys! Thank you for letting us be a part of your journey.

This past weekend we were fortunate enough to be able to photograph Lauren and Jeremy Woock's wedding. Sarah was gone to Indiana to officiate basketball, so Krista , Cara and I shot the wedding and had a blast. This is a shot we took after stealing them before their first dance.

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!

Nikki's Men

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!

We've been published!

Through flickr I was able to get one of my images published. In a discussion forum, a writer from "What Digital Camera Magazine," based in the UK, asked the opinions of those who have an Olympus E-3. I submitted my comments and was asked if I wanted to submit them to their magazine. So, long story short, we got the magazine in the mail today.

The picture is one I took on my trip to Kansas City, Missouri for a teacher workshop. It was taken in one of the walkways that connect surrounding buildings called "The Link."

We recently were blessed to be a part of Ben and Jenna Sugg's wedding this past weekend. They are an absolutely awesome couple and we enjoyed working with them every step of the way.
Earlier this month we shot Jenna's Bridal portraits at Duke Gardens. The second one is the one she chose for her Bridal Portrait. Here are a couple of our favorites.
As for strobist information, we shot all of these with a single shot through umbrella with 2 SB-28s mounted.

On the 23rd, Sarah and I were lucky enough to be the photographers for my cousin, Sydney's, cheerleading squad. We had a great time, and as you can see we got 'em to loosen up a bit.

Strobist info: FL-50R high to camera right with clear gary fong light sphere without the top so a good amount of light is reflecting off the ceiling. Light stand = Sarah.

Engagement Photos

Here are a few shots from Sarah and I's engagement shoot with Ben and Jenna. There wasn't a cloud in the sky, so we had to work with what we had. But, overall I think they came out pretty good.
