It's that time of year...

I know my blog has been incredibly lacking as of late, so I just wanted to write a quick post to anyone who might be stopping by periodically to say that lots of awesome stuff is coming soon! I'm currently in the process of editing 7 weddings, so I haven't had much time to blog anything lately. But I have had the opportunity to capture several incredible weddings (among other things), so hang in there and I promise my blog will be refreshed soon!

Rory & Brian's Highlight Video

Rory & Brian got married on July 3rd at Allen Centennial Gardens in Madison. It was a beautiful day, a great couple, and a great location for a wedding. This was another day that Kelsey and I got to work together - check out her blog if you'd like to see some of her photos from the day. Congrats Rory & Brian!

Amanda & Joel Are Getting Married!

This engagement shoot almost didn't happen because it looked like a storm was going to roll in right at the time that I had scheduled to meet with A & J. They decided to go through with the shoot despite the possible bad weather and I'm really glad they did. You can't tell from most of these pictures, but apparently there were lightning and funnel clouds all around us during our shoot...but where we were, the weather was actually fantastic! In the end, we had a great time and got some great shots!

Katy & Joe's Wedding

On the fourth of July, Kelsey and I had the rare opportunity to photograph the same wedding together. Katy and Joe got married at Lakeview Lutheran Church in Madison with their reception at The Edgewater Hotel and you could tell all day that they were really enjoying themselves. Kelsey and I really enjoyed ourselves too. I especially enjoyed being an assistant for this shoot...which is way easier than being a lead photographer (although I really enjoy that too!) Kelsey took some amazing photos which you should check out here. I also went through my own pictures from the day and picked out just a few of my favorites to post here. I realize that in 3 out of these 4 photos, Katy and Joe are kissing... We really do try things more creative than such a standard pose as this, and no, Katy and Joe were not kissing the entire day long. I thought the kiss worked well for these particular shots though, so here they are!

Erin & Tim's Rock Star Video!

Erin & Tim's wedding was absolutely beautiful. Kelsey and I had the privilege of being at their wedding to capture it with both photos and videos. Check out a few of Kelsey's photos from the day here.

It's amazing how much creative energy comes to you when you work with people that you just click with like we did with this couple and their families. We put a lot of energy and thought into shooting this event, but it felt effortless to do so because we enjoyed it so much. Erin and Tim were all about doing things a little differently, so they chose the Rock Star video from me and I'm pretty excited about how it turned out.

The Anticipation...

I'm currently finishing up a Rock Star Video for Erin & Tim, one of my wedding couples from this summer. I think this video just set a new personal record for the most hours I've ever put into a highlight video. The above picture is an image of the timeline where I put the video together. It's probably a bit of a silly thing to post, but I think it looks cool, with all those clips scattered all over the screen. I'll be posting the actual video within the next couple weeks and it's gonna be sweet!

Katrina & Anthony Are Married!

You may remember seeing Katrina & Anthony's Love Story Video on my blog not too long ago. Now they're married and I love how the highlight video of their wedding turned out. On the day of their wedding, it rained in the morning and then turned into a beautiful day just in time for the wedding. When evening came, the sunset was amazing and the warm light flooded onto the dance floor, which was really cool. Also, I've gotta say that I love my job. I work with so many awesome people and because I work so closely with them capturing every moment, by the end of a day of shooting I often feel like I'm a member of the family. Then I get really excited about being able to show them everything I captured. Katrina and Anthony and their families definitely left me feeling that way and I'm excited to display their highlights here.
