I didn’t ask them to do [...]
La Caille Bridal Show Ad

Worked on this until way too late in the night. Whoever thought making stripe bars match up perfectly in photoshop has more Adobe skill than I. That is until Chris rescued me and told me to just make a stroke around the whole thing. Silly me.

“Pretty Good with a Camera”, or Should I Hire a Friend to Shoot my Wedding?
Ahh, the age old question. We’re on a budget, paying for the wedding ourselves, and we have this friend who has this really high end dslr and is pretty good with it. Her pictures always look so good and I think she’d do a great job photographing my wedding. Should I ask my friend/family member [...]
Sleepy Ridge Wedding Photographer :: Mr. & Mrs. Lewis!

December is always a slow month for Weddings so I’m always looking to learn new tricks, see other photographers in action, and just to see a wedding with a voyeur eye. It allows me to tackle new angles, practice new techniques, and nearly do whatever I want creatively. So Dustin Izatt was gracious enough to [...]

Lighting was perfect, and it was a fantastic place to do their engagements, especially since its where they meet, and [...]
