To Abe and Brittany, thanks for your friendship and the joy that you bring to Abby and I. We wish you much happienes, joy, and success as you begin your new lives together.

Abe + Brittany

These two newlyweds have been great friends of Abby and I for quite some time. We've traveled to Florida together (with five people crammed in a compact car for 15 hours), shared friendships, oh and Abby and Brittany were roomates for a year!

You might recognize them from an earlier post a while back. Those were fun November photos, but when I came accross this orchard earlier in the year, I knew Abe and Brittany were the perfect couple to try it out. It also made for the perfect backdrop to try out my new (used) Bronica 645 medium format camera! Just wait until you see some of the film images! Makes me want to shoot film exclusively, but that's another post altogether. 

And that pretty green foliage you see in the photo below... lets just say four weeks later, I still haven't gotten rid of my poisen ivy (but it was SO worth it!).

And now for a handful of yummy 120 film images straight out of camera.

Jimmy + Feli

I've known Jimmy for a long time - 25 years to be exact. We've shared a lot of "interesting" experiences together over the years. There was the time that he pooped all over the fire truck, the time that he drove the golf cart in the creek, and the time we decided it would be fun to pee down the tube slide at the school. Jimmy introduced me to Matisyahu, protein shakes, and WWF wrestling. He stole my cologne for my entire young adult life and never let me listen to the Aladdin soundtrack on vacations. 

You only get the opportunity to take engagement photos of your older brother once, and Saturday was that day! Congratulations Jimmy and Feli. I can't wait to be a part of your wedding day.

An Engagement Story

It's no secret that Canon has forged new paths for video using a DSLR. In fact, the entire season finale of House was filmed using Canon DSLR's. I've always wanted to play around with video on my 5D Mark II, but never really had the time or patients for it. 

However, after spending the evening with a videographer at a wedding last week and having a huge need for someone that can do video interviews at Culver, I decided to start playing around with it. 

Here is my first video with the Mark II. What better story to tell than that of your own engagement :)

Let me know what you think!
