The Blogger/Reader Covenant

Let's just pretend that I've been actively blogging for the past 4 months.

Great! Glad we see eye to eye on this!

Amanda & Louis | Wedding

It's settled. I have the coolest clients on the face of this little planet! Louis and Amanda have been a dream to work with and I'm so grateful that they've trusted me to document their wedding. There are dozens and dozens more that I'd like to throw up on the blog but I'll stick to these:


















Louis' Thumbs-Up™








I wish I could shoot at the Joule Hotel every weekend:






















Congrats, guys!

Beware - a blog post!

Wow...neglect is the only word I can use to describe the way I've been treating my poor, poor, barren weblog. Forgive me!

I've got much to catch up on. Lots of wedding and portrait posts coming in the following days and weeks; some plans for the future; rants, raves, and everything in between.

For now:

• My brother has recently gained enough strength to leave the hospital! Things still aren't the best but Rome wasn't built in a day. He's a strong dude!
• Correspondingly, I'm thinking of training for a cycling century or two with this as the goal.
  
• Filming for The Perfect Picture Show, a reality show for which I'll be a judge, begins in just a few weeks! Check it out
  
• Swine Flu Circus = A fear monger's knowledge that people aren't truly happy unless they are absolutely hysterical! Ironically, I'd been reading bits and pieces of The Culture of Fear shortly before this craziness began. Where is this hysteria every year when seasonal influenza outbreaks kill 40,000? Sure, I'm not immune...but I'm really just not that worried.
  
• I love Pictage!!!
• My brides are still cooler than your brides!
  

Israel & Annamarie | Wedding

I can't say enough about the tremendous time I had with these guys while shooting their Hawaiian wedding. What a beautiful place for a ceremony! Anna and Israel are the best!

I've had hell trying to pare down to just a few favorites, so I just kept adding images to this post until the little voice of impending excess said 'okie doke'.

Needless to say, I was excited to shoot come wedding day...and knowing that we had a day-after shoot planned made me salivate all the more. This was also reassuring, as things backed up a bit during the wedding day and with the time constraints we were only given 20 minutes (!!!) to do the formals and other portraits after the ceremony. That has to be a record for me. Cool...we'd have plenty of time the day-after to get creatively crazy...

Unless Israel slips and seriously fractures his leg! Poor guy...ended up with plates, screws, the works.






bouquet, bouquet, and bouquet:





Coolest kid I've ever met. He had me in stitches all week :


A hug from her father as he gives her away:










Words cannot express such beauty:















I can't thank you enough, guys!
