save the date – youtube style

Ok while I’m not sure how I really feel about this (seems impresonal and potentially awkward (am I invited?..) (I bet a ton of random people show up to this wedding) (slightly cheesy)( my guess it took 3-4 days to make) It is totally creative and worthy of watching for its out of the box thinking. Hopefully this gets your creative juices flowin. FWIW too this video has 700,000 views and 4.5 stars on youtube.

Ohio Wedding Photography

Rachel & David – one of my kindest sweetest couples – were married in Summer of 2009 in Ohio.  Their wedding was elegant yet quaint and humble.  The set up was in the back yard. It wasn’t just any backyard though. A huge river with an enormous waterfall was flowing by the whole time and they had first class catering to manage the chairs and food. Rachel really went all out with the flowers and details and it made the whole wedding very special and beautiful.

Love the flower on the back…

See the stains on the wedding notes…tears…

Rachel checkin out her good looks. Looking gorgeous Rachel!

Wow…emotional! First time they saw each other before the wedding.

We drove into downtown and found this beautiful yellow wall. I love how the two diagonal lines really lead your eye.

The beauties.

One of the best parts of every wedding. I was lucky enough to be a ring bearer when I was real young. I was as shy and scared as these ones too! This is a big deal!

The tiki torches gave the ceremony some drama, while one of their best friends from college sang one of their favorite Christian Songs.

Rachel loosing it during the ceremony.

Oh man I love grainy shots for the reception. So romantic classic looking.

Some women want to wear Guccis…other Nikes fresh from foot locker. Hey if its comfortable go for it.

If you were thinking rice for your wedding… think again…Naw this was pretty fun and made for great photography!

Oh and one last little tip – Make sure to check out www.adorn.com I just heard about them yesterday. You can rent jewelry. Oh yeah like the super blingy kind.

Commercial Projects

Heres a few images from projects I’ve been working on the last week. 

As much as I love watches I do love a nice pen too. These Mont Blanc images took about 6 hours to shoot and edit.  Can you guess how orthodontic wax played a roll in the mont blanc photographs?

This Ping driver took about 2 hours to set up and edit.

So…Tell me how you really feel about your golf game…

Belize Destination Wedding – Hopkins Bay

You’ve got to see this wedding! It was so beautiful and fun.  Nari and Edward pledged their vows in Spring of 2009. They were married at the exotic boutique Hopkins Bay Resort. They did a fantastic job providing  gorgeous beachfront for the ceremony, and absolutely gourmet dishes for dinner.

Nari writing a love note before the ceremony.

Bling!

A little R and R before the Wedding. Nothing like beer and good friends to set your mind at ease.

The property was littered with exotic fragrant flowers.

Nari loosening up during her hair and make up.

Hey! Stop splashing!

The guys went for a short bike ride into town to pick up some more beer.

Naris Gift. One Diamand encrusted Cartier Watch. Check. (did I mention I love watches…)

I love the density of this image. There are so many different places to look.

I love the hardness reality of this image. Wedding days are really stressful.

“you really love her!?…now don’t be messin around this is serious”  – the pastor

elegant…

Edward had to be blinfolded while nari walked up because he would have saw her to soon. The guests loved it!

Mom did too!

I love it when couples have fun to touch/connect during the ceremony.

oops…lipstick transfer…

Post wedding giddy joy

Nothing like having your 25 closest friends and family to celebrate with.

We went downtown to take some pictures. The minister of sales wanted a piece of the action!

Imagine: warm ocean breezes, 15 piece steel drum band, endless pina coladas, your best friends, and one beautifully lit cabana in the middle of paradise. This was this wedding.

Her maid of honor brought the house down.

Ok so they played this game on Edward. All the guys had to get blindfolded and supposedly the worst dancers would get the ‘tap’ and get asked to leave. Basically as  soon as the music started every guy but Edward was asked to leave and he was left on the dance floor to shake his groove thing for everyone! Hilarious.

notice the bare feet.

The first dance.
