Lee + Jess’s Wedding Slideshow Video

Categories: videos and weddings

I thought I would try something new for Jess and Lee’s wedding, so here’s a little video of a few of the images from their wedding day:::

I photographed Jess and Lee’s wedding the day after I came home from Las Vegas. After spending a week with 10,000 photographers at the wedding photographer’s convention, I was totally inspired to try some new stuff. I brought along with me my new 50mm Lens , and shot a ton of photos while the bride and bridesmaids were getting ready just mostly to learn how to use this cool little lens. By the time I got to the ceremony, I had a good grasp of the capabilities of the lens and am excited to say, I shot about 75% of their ceremony with no flash, just natural light. This is a first for me, and exciting because many churches don’t allow flash (see post from Maureen + Ryan’s wedding). The reception at Lafayatte Grande in Pontiac was a blast! I thought it was totally rad that Lee brought his bass guitar (and his band) and played for a few songs. Great wedding! Congrats Jess and Lee!!

Amanda + Rob Engagement Session

Computer problems hit me all at once, so I feel really bad that its taken me awhile to get Amanda and Rob’s engagement session photos uploaded. After spending the week reformating hard drives, fighting with windows and then re-installing all my software, I finally found some time today to get a few done for them:

They had a cold, snowy day but everything went really smooth…they even got in a little snowball fight:

Rob hits Amanda with a good one here:

But Amanda retaliates here and nails Rob:

Can’t wait for the wedding!

My good friend DJ Joey A has been busy recording a few new tracks, and has just released a new song! The new single is called “Come Over” and you can check it out on itunes (just search for DJ Joey A), or on Joey’s myspace page located here: http://www.myspace.com/djjoeya

Joey wanted to get some photos made for his upcoming album and promotional material, so we went out the other day and had a little fun. I really wanted to play around with some black & white portrait stuff, so we started with that:

Next we headed out to Planet Rock Music to say hi to our friend Marvin, and get some photos outside. Joey does alot of promotional work for Planet Rock, so he thought it would be cool to incorporate the store in a few shots.
