wedding album spreads

01

Kind of quiet around here.  Don’t worry, there’s a lot going on behind the scenes  :)   Client meetings, planning, studio (and home) modifications and renovations…    and album samples. These are a few new spreads that I included in a sample order from Forbeyon — a 10×10″ leather album with a metal frame cameo...

fusion for your friday

triple e shoot

A couple of firsts: the first video from the iMac with my first attempts at Final Cut Express, and the first video/photo “fusion” piece from an engagement shoot.  I also have behind-the-scenes clips from Mike from another e-shoot that I need to do as  more of a promo piece… sometime.

Jill&Chris_294

Jill and Chris were married on the lake in Warsaw before moving down to LA (Louisiana, not California) where Chris is stationed.   We had to be flexible with their date because he’s in the process of being deployed overseas soon, but I wanted to help in whatever way I could.   You might remember...

Starting to edit the wedding from last weekend, and here’s one of the shots I tried.   Just not sure which version to stick with.  I like them all, but I have a favorite.  Do you?  Leave a comment!
