Check out this video of Kristen's husband doing a mattress dance at the end of the video!

WPJA Results, we won!!!!! 1st place worldwide!!

It's true, we took a 1st place in the Trash the Dress category for the picture underneath!! We are so excited, this is so awesome.

JUDGES COMMENTS: Wow. What a beautiful, ethereal photograph. A lot of the images in this category are just too campy, too staged, but this one is beautiful in its simplicity, use of light to convey mood and its evocativeness.

JUDGES COMMENTS: I like the photographer’s poetic mood of this underwater photo of the Bride.

We also took 10th place in the same category with this image. 2 out of the top ten images were ours. Check them out at WPJA, under recent results for the contest.

JUDGES COMMENTS: I like the high key detail of this photograph of the bride's face, hair and dirty dress.

JUDGES COMMENTS: The texture and expression of the bride made this image stand out. Simple but done well.

Reka at the urinals and other holes in the wall!!

This is my favorite.

This is my other favorite.


More to come with what we have been doing.

Patrick Fender at the Gaylord Palms

We headed down to Orlando for a portrait session with Patrick. He is the son of our friends Pehn and Tracy. I have been friends with Pehn ever since we were in Kindergarten!! We were there right after Patrick was born and even snuck into the hospital after hours when he was sick as a baby. It is a little sad to see him growing so fast.

My favorite, I think.

This is Pehn. I have a picture of him from when we were in Kindergarten with that same smile on his face. Lot more facial hair now!!


He loved making faces at the camera.

My whole world...

What we've been doing in Jersey!!

With Teal at the fair for her Trash the Dress session. They were so nice to keep it up for us even though it was closed. Haha!!  We even managed to get K.C. in them for a few.  Here are just a few of my favorites from this extremely muddy and smelly session!

From Shaelyn's 6-month portrait session. This is one of my favorites.
We're tired, but we've had a lot of fun. We have to fly back home today so I need to get some sleep. We're so ready to see Cade, we've missed him so much. I'll post more later.

Do you ever feel like...

no matter how fast you try and run, there are those things that always manage to catch up to you?

"Where's our next wedding, Daddy?"

How can I leave this face??

Connie and Brad - April 11, 2009

Ok, so we're way behind on our blogging and I'm going to try and catch up. These are my friends Connie and Brad. They got married back in April and I promised them some much overdue blog love so here it is. I had the best time shooting their images, they let me do anything I wanted. These are just some of the images that I shot for their bride and groom section of the wedding. I don't have enough space to show off the entire wedding.

Here's Connie playing around in the lobby of the 12 hotel in Atlanta.

I love this effect on this picture.

Here's Brad at the The Lambert Place where the wedding and the reception took place. Awesome place, it was our first time there.

This is one of my favorites from Brad's pictures.

After the ceremony in the middle of hors d'oeuvres, they were able to get away for just a minute or two.

Right beside The Lambert Place there was this building with this great red brick wall. It totally kicks ass.

Gotta love this camera. I think I shot this at ISO 6400 with no flash!!! Diggit!!

Same thing here.

Outside during the reception, we got away for some awesome shots. Completely different light source here, I wonder if anyone knows. I'll give you a hint, it wasn't a flash.

Great sequence shots!!!

Connie, it was good to see you again yesterday. Brad thanks again for all the help with my computers. Can't wait until the Trash the Dress shots!!

Look people, have some decency. If you are looking at this blog, I can understand if you don't like some of my images or what we get to do on a day to day basis. I try to post other stuff from time to time from my personal life to give people an idea what it's like to be us. I know that by putting this out there I am opening up myself and my family to comments of all kind. Still I feel I would be remiss if I didn't address a certain comment that was posted about my little boy. Have some decency and grow up. If you have nothing better to do than to play on the internet and make derogatory comments about other people's kids than you are a sick person.

In honor of our upcoming wedding in France and Spain!

Here's Mr. Man in baggage claim!!
