Giggles! Monica is full of laughs and I think Tyler is her muse. His quiet smile is always with her and continually keeps Miss Monica with a HUGE smile on her beautiful face.
I say ‘Miss Monica’ because she is a school teacher who loves all her kids and talks about them a lot! This radiant couple found me because I had the extreme pleasure of hanging with Tyler’s sister, Ryan, at Jon+Caycee’s wedding. Ryan is the pretty blonde, fourth from the left, in the Perspective photos from earlier today.
Anyway, Monica and Tyler and I had a ball hanging out down at the Plaza. One thing about my engagement sessions…we have fun. We laugh and try to get to know one another and stay relaxed. It is not a photo session so much as it is a get-to-know-you session…a perfect way for a photographer to become familiar with his subjects before their wedding day, so on the wedding day isn’t shooting cold turkey.
I hope you love the photos as much as I loved hanging out with them. Let me know what your favorite is and can you guess which one is my fav?






Is it a bee?! Aaaah!

Hey Man!
I am back in Antarctica enjoying my new 5D MarkII. I defiantly bought over my head on this one.
As always you take awe inspiring shots. This one is no exception. I like the DOF in the hair.
Glad to see an update! Look forward to hearing more.

Dustin, that’s a beautiful capture. Would make great stock — I’m just sayin’
Glad to hear things are going well for you… being busy is a good problem!

Hey D – so nice to see an update! I love your work, and I’m excited to hear about these upcoming blog posts. I am embarking upon my first year as a wedding photographer (20 so far, one in mexico!) and quitting my job in a few weeks. Life changes all around! Happy to see your thoughtful words and a beautiful photo to go with it. Hang in there!

I’m excited to see what you’ve got coming. The first year (in any profession I think) is always the most, well, let’s just say “fun”…that learning curve, ya know? Can’t say I’m not glad to put my first year of teaching behind me.
Always good to be in demand! Blake and I keep trying to think up an excuse to get new photos done…we can pass for seniors right? I still get asked for my hall pass…
