Friends

Today Heidi and I got together with some of my best friends. We went to the movies with my buddy Chris then chilled at Dustin's new house. Life has gone by so fast, it seemed like yesterday Chris, Dustin and I were hanging on the playground. Now Chris is working really hard at buying homes then flipping them and Dustin is getting ready to marry his beautiful fiancé Aviva. Now for me, I'm just trying to keep afloat:)

Reno 911

So I guess I left my buddy Sam out of the cool people video by accident. I feel bad so I decided to give him a quick shout out. For the Ladies, this man is not single but he is definitely ready to mingle. Resides in Reno, Nevada, husband and father of two beautiful kids, I am very glad that I can call Sam my friend. He definitely keeps me out of trouble and always ready for new adventures. He is a great photo trainer and a good role model. Sam, GQ man of the Year.

Camera 1

So here is my first video of series of videos:

Thank You

So today I got a thank you letter in the mail from a bride. It really made me feel good inside. To know that someone really enjoyed my work made my day. That's my goal everytime I snap a photograph, to capture the emotion in each frame.

Cool People

I had a blast seeing all my friends and meeting new friends. I sometimes end up taking to many photos and never have enough time to put them all together. So I decided to put together a quick show of all the many faces that kept me smiling.

Versace

So today I went to go pick up my new specks. Check me out and let me know what you think.

Last Night

So heres what we did last night :)

Recap 1

Here is the first recap video. Check it out.

United

What a trip, I got home at 4:30am and I left Minneapolis at 7pm. I was stuck in Chicago for about 4hours. I guess it was a good thing that I was trapped in Chicago. If I didn't, I wouldn’t have met so many cool people. Well today I am going to go relax with Heidi. When I get a chance I will recap my entire trip. Come back soon.

Ole

Check out this candy, my friend Bee just got back from Thiland and got me some. It’s pretty good, strawberry ☺

Dr. t

So today at my leadership enrichment we had a great guest speaker, Dr. Tim Elmore. His whole discussion was about how to become a better leader and train others to be better leaders. His presentation was fun and very informative. The material he covered is defiantly something I will use. One thing I took from today is when he talked about how we need to feed ourselves before we can care for others. I defiantly forget about my heath sometimes and continue to over work. I guess I need to rest up so I can work smart and stop working hard.

Hello Heidi

Hey babe, I hope you are readig this. I just wanted to post up the gift that I got for you. I hope you like it:)

St. Paul

So I just got into St. Paul and have been working on my some photos. Check out the where I'm staying at. I will be in a different hotel Tuesday night, so I'll try to enjoy the sights in St. Paul while I can.

Friday the 13

So I guess Friday the 13 wanted to make sure it didn't miss me, cause I had a crazy Saturday the 14. Someone broke into my car when I had it parked at Pep boys. I guess the culprit didn't like my boy band cds because I still had everything in my car. But the real issue was when I tried to drive my car home, it's still not running right. The folks who where working today did not help me out at all. I guess they would rather lose a customer than refund me my money. Once I got home I noticed I forgot my apartment keys inside the apartment. What a day. I'm still alive so its all good.

The rest of the day went really well, photographed Mani and Dave at their BBQ and now I'm home. Right now I am ready for bed but I need to get up by 6am to catch my flight to St. Paul. I will post some flying photos when I can.

Mani & Dave

Yesterday I photographed Mani and Dave's engagement dinner. The lovely couple shared their photo session with their families. The location they choose looked like a castle, it looked amazing. And today I will be photographing their engagement picnic. So last night I stayed up till 7am editing the photos and putting their slideshow together. Check it out and enjoy:)

Transformers

I forgot to post up our Transformer premire. When Heidi and I where in NY last week, we went to go watch. The movie was at midnight so we got there kind of early or we thought we did. The line to get in was out to the parking lot. People in NY never sleep :) We did get some good seats thanks to some cool people, who were kind enough to move over. The movie was great and the experance was awesome too. People in NY really love their movies and it seemed like everyone knew each other. Life is good.







O yeah, after we got out from the movie, it was raining like crazy. Check out the video.

My Teeth

So today I had my wisdom teeth taken out. Right now I feel like T-pain but without the T and all pain. My oral surgeon was the best, I recorded my trip there and when I was knocked out he took some photos of me. But on my way home I got some great footage of me acting a fool. I am so lucky, I have the greatest girlfriend. Heidi has been putting up with all my crap since we've been home. I'm still working on the video but all I can say is that this has been a great experience. I always try my best to take bad situations and make it fun. I hope you enjoy the video, cause I enjoyed putting it together :)

Shout Outs

Today I'm gonna give Angela's Floral Designs and Damond from Blue Productions some love.

Family

This week really made me think about family. People come and go but family are always there to make you smile. Hang on to your love ones, cause you don't want to wake up tomorrow and regret not seeing them the day before.

So today I want to say that I love my grandma.

Ocean City

I had so much fun yesterday hanging out in Ocean City with my beautiful girlfriend Heidi and my cousins. Even though we got there kind of late, we managed to find a kick butt parking space. (w/ Heidi and Nina guiding me into the spot) The water was great, crazy cold for some of us but we kept on jumping in. After we got done on the beach we hit the board walk. I finally won something for Heidi, Patrick Star toy :) Check out the show.

Tanya and Kevin

I really have to say that I had a blast photographing this wedding. Tanya and Kevin really made my day when they picked me to be their photographer. I had the perfect location and the perfect day to take photos. Check out the images for yourself.


And a quick Thank you to Tanya and Kevin. A hello to my brides to be Maria and Maria, can't wait to photograph your weddings. And big ups to dj Paul and Videographer Tim. Paul kept the party moving and Tim worked the camera really well. He had a great spot light that helped me out during the dancing.

Coney Video

Aftermath

I got home a few hours ago and started to edit the photos from the wedding. Tanya and Kevin made my day. They had an outdoor ceremony at Conrad's Ruth Villa and reception at the Boumi Temple. I can't wait to post up the show but for now I will get the slideshow from my trip to New York. Enjoy.




I still have to post my second trip to Coney Island. I had the chance to ride the Cyclone and record ever second of my ride. Be sure to come back for the show.

Home

I just got home :0) It's always fun to travel but when your home there is nothing like it. Even though it's 1:20am I'm still wide awake. I think the New York bug bit me. Everyone in New York stay up super late, people there are vampires lol. Sleep all day, party all night. Well I'm home so I'm going to bed. Good night but check back tomorrow I will be putting up all the fun videos and slide shows.

-Ole

Still alive

So I got a chance to get online to say I'm still alive. I'm in New York visiting some friends for the 4th of July. Once I get home I will post some fun slide shows and videos. So be on the look out.

Movie Friday

Tonight Heidi and I went to go check out Pixar's new flick, Ratatouille. It is a great movie for all ages. The theater was packed with parents and their kids. I offered these two kids some of my sour gummy candy because I could tell they were eyeing it up. After the movie we went to the cheesecake factory to have our own Ratatouille meal (of course with out the rat:)

At the resturant, we didn't get the best seat in the house but we did get great service. Our waiter Justin was the nicest guy every. He made sure our food came out the quickest, of quickest. A+ for Justin. To recap the night, great movie and great food = Great date. I love my Heidi.




O yeah, I almost forgot to tell you about my sweet tres leche cake :) I've been seeing it a lot on the food network and I knew I wanted one. So when I heard they had them at the cheesecake factory, I got one. Way better than the iPhones and I didn't have to stand in line for 30 something hours :) It looks banging. Can't wait to eat it tomorrow after the wedding.

Frederick Fun

After a long day of photographing and crunch editing, Heidi and I tried went out to relax. We headed over to Frederick because every sunday during the summer they hold a small concert at the park. We had fun listening to music and playing with ramdom peoples' dogs as they walked by us. I finished the day off with a fun photo shoot.

Elizabeth & Eric

I am very blessed to get the chance to work with a great couple like Eric and Elizabeth. They were down to earth and you can tell that they loved each other very much. It's great when both the bride and groom feel really comfortable behind the camera together. I am happy with this wedding. Check out their wedding day.

Another reason I enjoyed this wedding so much is because I met some really cool people. Mike Strebeck- dj and Elizabeth Lukes- videographer. Mike made sure the party kept on rockin and Elizabeth made my day go super smooth. I never worked with a videographer that could keep up with me and be on point with every shot. So Big ups to my two new friends :)


O and one more thing, Jake the ring bearer was the cutest kid. I got the chance to teach him how to photograph with my camera. He took some really good photos of his mom. Can't wait and see if he becomes a professional photographer when he grows up.

Anna and Jeb

I had a blast photographing Anna and Jeb's wedding. Now these two kids know how to let loose and enjoy the moment. Check out the photos.



And yes I want to give a quick shout out to my buddy Kevin Strack. He's a dj and a photographer. Of course he can't do both at the same time but he's booked everytime. Thanks for keeping the party alive.

Alex's 4th

I love my 16-35 lens. I get the best candids with this lens. I'm able to get super close to people and get funny reactions. Check out these funny photos of my little cousins. Alex had a blast at his party. They all really like to run around the house. I love family as much as Heidi's family.

Show It

Heres Gillian and Josh's show that I never put up. Check it out.

Still

I'm still editing photos from Alex's birthday party. So ya'll come back naw.

Lara and John

Heres the show...

Fun, Fun

Man I'm tired, but you know what I had a blast tonight. This has to be the best wedding of 07. Lara and John are the perfect couple to photograph. They followed direction really well and had great ideas for photos. It was crazy hot outside, but nothing stopped them from looking good. I can't wait to post up the photos. Stay tuned.
