Congrats to Omar and Lissette who were married on Sunday at the Martinelli Events center. Such a super sweet couple I was so happy to be a part of their day. We captured some really cool shots of them throughout the day and I can’t wait to post some on the blog, they really were a sweet couple and you can tell right when you meet them that they really love and honor each other.

Our vendor spotlight for this month is Gabrielle’s Bridal Atelier. Every dress that I have seen from Gabrielle’s is absolutely amazing, and they have a wide range of gowns to choose from.

Oh how I love all of the different qualities of light, no matter what time of day there is always a certain angle or way to capture amazing light. The end of the day is always a little more special just with the glow of the sunset and the beautiful, romantic soft glow of light that the low sun creates. You can also shoot into the low sun, which is one of my favorite ways to shoot a romantic shot. We shot an really great wedding a few weeks ago for Joanie and Brent and captured some great shots of the day. Here is one shot of the two of them that I loved (and a shot my assistant Stephanie got of me taking the shot), more to come from their wedding in just a few days

Here is one more video with the iPhone and it captures action pretty well. YouTube compresses the video so you get some of the jagged pixels you see, but on the actual iPhone when you view it the video actually flows very smooth. I’ll do a full review after about a week and share my experiences with using the phone on a daily basis.

Happy fathers day to all of the Dad’s out there and espicially my awesome Dad! My dad is a big part of my life and always there when I need him. Thanks for everything you do Dad, I love you

I tried to find a photo of him and I but don’t really have any (there aren’t many photos of my with other people since I usually am taking the photo) But here is a shot of him from last year with Jim Brown. He is a huge sports fan so got a kick out of meeting Jim Brown at our Church one day.
