I had the opportunity to film the wedding/reception of Natalie & Ryan on December 20th, 2008. Christmas weddings are so beautiful! Chris & I shot alongside of Bernie Elking Photography and always have a blast working with Sabrina from Proposing Dreams. Here are some shots I took during their big day.

Birthday Party Invitation

December 9th, 2008

My oldest son turned 9 this past weekend and wanted to have a bunch of his friends over to have a Wii birthday party. So, being the cool dad that I am, arranged him something special. I turned our church’s multi-purpose room into the video game haven. I hooked up our Wii to a projector and a portable sound system along with one of his buddy’s Playstation 3’s to it’s own projector and sound system. I believe everyone had a good time. I tried to come up with a cool invitation for the party. Here’s what I came up with…I put each one in a game case…

Mindy & Kenny Recap Board

October 7th, 2008

I’m been taking my 40D with me to the weddings that I’ve been videoing catching some still shots when I have the chance. Here’s a Recap Board of a wedding on August 30, 2008 with Mindy & Kenny…By the way, the Browers were the “REAL” photographers. Also, Studio B rocks my face off but that’s for another time…so, should I

a) stick with the video stuff
b) it’s ok but you need to work on it
c) you call that photography!!!
d) don’t quit teaching, please!!!
e) awesome
