I took this shot during our honeymoon trip through some of the National Parks. This is Glacier Lake, which oddly enough, is part of Glacier National Park. It was our second choice of the day. We wanted to travel on the famous "going to the sun" road that goes through glacier, but because of the time of year, it wasn't open yet. Here is our view of Glacier Lake:

so the cool people at blogger have a new feature i can use. Whenever i make a post, i can include the song i'm listening to and i believe you can then hear it if you want to. pretty sweet huh? so sometimes i'll post the song, and when i'm listening to something i'd be ashamed for you to know, i won't post... :-)
so now you can either make fun of my music or compliment it... one warning though: don't expect any cutting edge, world shaking selections. Oh, and don't expect much consistency either. my musical selections can be very schizophrenic, like us, i mean me.... :-)

Sorry i didn't reply to anyone over the past weekend. It was slightly hectic for us.... It was a very fun weekend though. We shot a wedding in Chicago on saturday, so we left on thursday to spend some time downtown and enjoy the city. We met up with Abby and Jon thursday evening and shot their e-session since they live in Chicago, right downtown. It didn't really work out that we were able to stay downtown(because we're cheap and only found $250 rooms), but we had a nice time there. So here's the crazy part, for the first time, we shot two weddings back to back without sleeping in between because we didn't have time. Shooting back to back weddings is normal. However, not sleeping in between is not. We had the pleasure of shooting Maggie and Jason's wedding outside of Chicago on Saturday and then leaving at midnight for the 6 hour drive (including stops) to be back to capture Gilda and Bill's wedding at 9:30 am in Birmingham on Sunday....yeah, we're tired.
So here's our mastercard ad:
Miles driven: 655
images taken: 4,750
amount of sleep: 0
Capturing two sweet weddings in the span of 30 hours: priceless

So our daughter is getting old on us already, so I thought i'd post a quick pic. Yes, her hair is really THAT red. and no, neither Sara or myself has red hair. The mail man doesn't either(i know you were thinking that.... smart a@@..)
Here's a math equation for you: At a wedding, J+M=Fun. We had such a good time following jen and mike around to capture their wedding. I really don't know what else to say about it, except that it was fun. We are really quite lucky, our couples this year have rocked and Jen and Mike definitely rocked. Here are some previews:
One of my favorite shots in a while. yep..
The G-Men
I couldn't keep this one a secret, it's too funny.
We traveled up to East Tawas to capture the wedding of Jackie and Mike. It was our first time in the little northern town and we really enjoyed our time there. They had their wedding and reception right on the beach next to lake huron. It was definitely a gorgeous setting for a wedding! The day started a little iffy with the threat of rain, but the skies opened up and provided a perfect day. They even had a fireworks show towards the end of the evening. A great day and a great setting! Here are some previews:
Yeah, so i'm behind on my blog. we have traveled quite a bit this last month for weddings and such that I have had much less time for the fun stuff. blogging is fun for me, so it got pushed to the side for a touch. I'm back in the saddle now, so they'll be coming at a normal pace again. so sorry. i have a couple in line, but i thought i'd spread 'em out instead hitting you all at once.
Peace.

Adam and Miranda got married at Cobblestone Farms in Ann Arbor on the ever so popular and lucky date of 07-07-07. Miranda did an incredible job of decorating and making the place look pretty sweet. She is a fellow photographer, so the pressure was on us... actually, we had so much fun hanging out with them and capturing their wedding day.
They are both so incredibly laid back and fun, that we forgot we were at a wedding at times. It was definitely a lot of fun. A soccer game even broke out at one point outside! Okay, not a full-fledged game, but still. Here are some previews:
...My personal favorite shot of the day, courtesy of Sara..
Matt and Kari got married at Cobblestone Manor in Auburn Hills. Their wedding reception was at the beautiful Lafayette Grand in downtown Pontiac. It was our first time at the lafayette grande and we loved the building! It also went perfectly with their wedding decor. Matt and Kari are our friends, so we always feel a little extra pressure to give them awesome wedding pictures. Thanks guys!! Here are some long overdue previews:
Amy and Erik were married at Zingerman's in Ann Arbor. It was really cool. If you're not familiar, it's a great restaurant with a fun atmosphere. Out front they have an old airstream trailer that is a drive thru diner. We couldn't resist taking pictures with it. I love how the pictures turned out. The whole day was so relaxed and fun. Here are some previews:
We've been so busy that I haven't been able to post a P.O.M in a long time. I took this shot a few years ago while still in school. It was taken with a 4x5 view camera that I was just learning to use. I love view camera's. If I had more time, I would get another one. It's just too time consuming though since, in my opinion, you really need to develop them and make the prints yourself to make it worth your time. If you're unaware of view camera's, they are the camera's you may think of when you think of an "old school" photographer with the black cloth over your head while using it. They're huge and the negatives are huge(4 inches by 5 inches, or larger!), but the quality is second to none. Here's a shot of the Detroit skyline and boardwalk area:
Mary and Joe had their engagement session in downtown Detroit. The great thing about Detroit is that we did their whole session within one block and got a lot of different looks. Here are some previews:
