Last weekend I had the chance to photograph a bride and groom that looked like royalty. There presence made everyone get up off their feet. Zelda's voice brought a tear to everyones eye, and Michael's dance moves brought the house down. I'm so lucky, I always get the chance to work with the most beautiful brides and the chillest grooms. Check out the photos :)
I also want to say whats up to my new friends, Leslie Hendricks and Ernest Martin Jr from Visual Effects Video. These to guys made sure to get every shot from every angle and even helped me out a few times. I think I learn something new everytime I photograph with talented people. Thanks guys.
This weekend I caught a great movie with Heidi and Chris. 3:10 to Yuma is one of those movies that didn't get as much hype but delivered once you watch it. I love cowboy movies, I think it's cause I want to be one :p
Some weekends I get really busy with my photography and end up not having any time with my family or friends, but this weekend was different. I photographed a fun wedding on Saturday and on Sunday I had the privilege of photographing one of my best friends and his lovely fiance. I met up with Aviva and Dustin at their home and headed into historic downtown Lancaster. I photographed the two love birds until the sun set. Check out their photos :)
So I know it took me longer this week to post the slideshow from Tj and Maria's wedding. But I have been crazy busy. Enjoy the show and let me know what you think :)
What can I say about Kim and Kevin that can't be expressed with photos of their amazing day. It was an honor working with two wonderful, fun loving people. They made my Saturday a walk in the park. They had everything planned out and let me take the lead. They were the dream bride and groom. I hope all my future brides are as outgoing as Kim and all the grooms are as chill as Kevin. Check out the slideshow!
I also had the pleasure of working with two great videographers, Justin & Tavon Blackwell. They were two of the nicest guys in the industry. I could tell they got some great shots because of the cool angles they were filming from.
And big ups to the lovely makeup artist, Sherris. She really made sure Kim look her best the entire day.
So lately my life has been so boring. I have been busy in the office training and getting some new photographers hired. I am even running out of time for Heidi. I'm trying to catch up with all my work and blog at the same time. If anyone is waiting for some videos, I should have stuff up this weekend.
Wow, I am so tired of hearing about celebrities getting in trouble with the law. I don't know how I get sucked into the media; I guess you can't really escape TV, radio or even Internet news. I couldn't imagine being followed by cameras all day. Well, maybe that would be pretty cool. Think about it, your photo album would be super amazing if all the photographers made a scrapbook from all their images. I think that's my style when I photograph a wedding. I try to capture everything I can. So when I'm ready to put an album together, I have enough photos to tell the whole story.
Today my grandma made her first visit to my apartment. Accompanying her were my cousins and aunt. It's always fun to hang out with family. After some small talk, Heidi and I took the family shopping at the Columbia Mall. My families are shopaholic, so I'm pretty sure they had fun. For dinner we hit our favorite place, Indian Delight. Check out some of the crazy faces that make my family.
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:)
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.
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.
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.
I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.
