Extra Credit :)

So outside of weddings, I like to stay busy and keep ideas fresh in my head for new picture ideas - kinda some personal "extra credit".  Just a few days ago, a few other wedding photographer friends and I got together and arranged a session with some local models.  Not being under the pressure of a wedding day, the point of this exercise was to try out some different ideas and also to try some new equipment out.  The new and amazing Canon 200mm f/2.0 IS lens was on loan from Canon and I got to play with review it.  My personal short use review of it... it is a wonderful lens and I want one.

Harleigh: (Canon 200mm 2.0 IS)

(Canon 24-70mm 2.8)

Ebony: (Canon 200mm 2.0 IS)

 (update):  Thanks also goes out to Craig Single (Craig's shots) for letting me try the sweet lens out while he had it on loan.  My good friends, Stacie Lech (Stacie's blog) and Mark Gardner (Mark's shots) were also in attendance.

Christina and Scott - Wedding

A few weeks ago, I photographed Christina and Scott's engagement session.  Yesterday, I was photographing their wedding. The day was held at the beautiful Bear Creek Mountain Resort.  The day was very hot, but everyone was great and we all had a lot of fun together.

I stole the newly weds away from the reception for a few minutes and we walked down to the pond for a short evening session.

Take a look at the preview from the day...

 

Thanks you two, I had a great time!... Enjoy Jamaica!

The Launch

I feel like a building has been lifted off of my shoulders.... The new website has been launched! There are still a few tweaks to make here and there, but overall I am so excited to have a new site that can display BIG pictures. 

Take a look around and let me know what you think.

Team Mantic Practice

So early last week I was asked by a local paintball team to cover some of there practice. Since I used to play (alot!) I was even more inclined to take the invite.

Everyone had lots of fun, and it is looking like I will be covering some of their tournaments when the weather starts to get nicer.

Thanks Guys...and nice playing!
