Random Monday

It has been a shameful three weeks since my last post. I must say we have been very busy catching up on some work. I am glad to see the progress and the great advancements we are making. Speaking of great things, I recently found out that one of our shots has made the front cover of Planning Your Wedding, a supplement magazine to Business People. This is a great honor and I can’t wait to see it in print. The issue comes out on October 7th and I promised I wouldn’t post the front cover before the issue comes out. If you do get your hands on a copy be sure to check out our coupon in the back for a very special treat. Also on October 7th I plan on launching our new website. We are now using this amazing software called Show It Sites that has made website building easier than ever. I am overwhelmed with joy and completely excited to see what the future holds for us. Stay tuned, it looks like it will be fun.

P.S. Since I can’t post the cover of the magazine I am posting a random shot during my stroll downtown a few weeks back. I can’t post without showing you a picture!

Second Shooting

This last weekend I helped my friend Kenny Kim shoot two weddings in Chicago. Second shooting creates a great opportunity to try something new and challenge yourself. This weekend not only allowed me to try new photography techniques, but new life experiences. I experienced new food and culture while shooting both Asian weddings. I even had my first taxi cab ride! Kenny has been a great influence and inspiration on my business and life. I would encourage other photographers to second shoot at each others weddings. It is a lot of fun doing what you love with others who share the same passion.

Also for this last weekend's weddings I indulged myself by renting the new Nikon D700 camera body. My friend Paul at Lens Pro To Gohooked me up with this amazing camera. I am in love with the functions and abilities this full frame camera has. Just for fun I wanted to show you a fascinating image. The below ceremony shot was taken at an incredible 2,000 ISO!!! I intentionally did no adjustments in Photoshop to show you how amazing the D700 performs at high ISOs. Give Paul a call and try out something new and yes he does rent Canon equipment too. Have a great day!

Mike and Lauren

You might remember the engagement post of Mike and Lauren. Mike and Lauren both played sports overseas and ended up on the same flight back to the States. The fairy tale romance didn’t stop at the carriage ride proposal. This last weekend the two of them married and celebrated their new marriage in downtown Fort Wayne. After a short ceremony we headed over to the Summit Club for a wonderful evening with family and friends.

Mike and Lauren’s wedding guest list covered coast to coast with some special guests from Italy. We are excited to be a part of such a special day for them and their family. We met some great people and learned so much from everyone. We can’t wait to work again with these two in the future.























The Father Of The Bride shared the story of how Mike and Lauren met...from a father's perspective.



Just before the cake cutting Lauren warned Mike about him doing something crazy, but it isn't a cake cutting without some cake smashing!

Mike and Lauren Part 1

It has been a busy weekend and I will post more pictures of this wedding later this week, but I just wanted to give you a sneek peek at Mike and Lauren on their wedding day. Mike and Lauren have a great honeymoon in Jamaica!

Paige + Senior

With a resume as long as this one, Paige is headed in the right direction. Paige is involved in Show Choir, Cheerleading, Softball, and is the Senior Class President. On top of all that she just got a great job! Life is full of wonderful opportunities for Paige and she is showing no sign of slowing down.

We had fun with you Paige. Your endless outfits and personality kept us on our toes. Thanks for the entertainment. Have a great Senior Year!
