Everybody Let's Go Have Some Fun

"One day your life will flash before your eyes; make sure it's worth watching."

So here I am yesterday, flipping through photo after photo, adjusting levels and whatnot in Lightroom and enjoying the new Genius feature on iTunes (by the way, I've decided it's called the "Genius" feature because it's a GENIUS idea from Apple to suck even more money from me) when a song I haven't heard in YEARS comes pumpin' through the Bose speakers. It's the only song I own by this band. Truth be known, it's one of those songs that you are embarrased about owning, but keep around cause you secretly like it. You know, *Nsync, Backstreet Boys, Rock Lobster by the B-52s... those kind of songs. So meanwhile, as I jam to a song from my glory days, I come to this photo of me and a groomsman being ever so silly at this particular wedding I was editing. And that's when inspiration hit...

If only people knew how much fun Jesie and I have at weddings and how happy our clients are around us. 2 hours later.... the result:

Engagement Announcements, Yes We Do Those Too.

Brace yourself. You're about to see not one, but two pieces of art combined. It's a marvelous thing when I get the opportunity to merge my photography with my design. Engagement announcements and wedding invitations are my favorite. Since I've done away with the graphic design portion of the business, I rarely get the chance to let release those creative juices. Graphic design is very near and dear to my heart; I was a graphic artist before it was cool to be a graphic artist, you know. When graphic designers were considered computer geeks with no people skills, when owning a Macintosh was unheard of, when Photoshop 7.0 was top of the line. I miss those days... But I am satisfied when I get to work with my imagery and your wedding theme to create a product that will wow your guests and build their excitement for the big day.

Kathy & TJ - Silverthorne, CO

Hey Everyone!  Long time no blog!  It's been kinda crazy with the holidays (I'm sure you've heard that one before); but I'm making up for it with a 20+ picture blog from TJ and Kathy's New Year's Eve wedding.  So there.  ;)  My holiday season was awesome.  How was yours?  I spent a lot of time with family doing family-type things.  I've had a great couple of weeks just rechargin' the old battery.  I did get to hang with TJ and Kathy last week; they're a super chill couple from Boulder, CO.  Their wedding was uber laid back but totally classy!  The whole wedding party was a blast.  The guests were pretty cool too. ;)  I actually went to school with a big gang of girls present at the wedding.  That was a fun dinner conversation!  Check out these images... isn't Kathy the most precious bride you've ever seen? (Don't forget to enlarge the images by clickin' on them.)
