Rhonda + Jerry . Hot Ditto Session

What can I say…we LOVE our clients. Epecially when they bring lots of cool things on their wedding day…like a freakin cute shiny black Vespa!. We couldn’t get enough of it & kinda wanna steal it from them. Or maybe we can just take a ride sometime?. We had a total blast the whole day and were treated just like family. How cool is that?! WAY COOL…I must say myself. The weather was perfect and so were the many warm heart-felt conversations. It was so neat to hear all the funny stories about the newly weds. Eric & I will always remember their wedding especially since they got married @ the Stillwell House just like us. I even decided to ‘re-create’ a shot from our own…and who ever can guess by leaving a comment and is correct get’s a little surprise from me!!! Here’s a hint…it’s the same well-reconized shot from celebrity Tiffany Amber Theissen’s wedding. Let the guessing begin…Oh it’s on…and after that I just might have to post our shot from 3yrs ago!!!

Rhonda + Jerry + the fisheye

A few weeks ago we posted a sneak peek shot from Rhonda & Jerry’s Wedding where we photographed them holding a fun fisheye toy camera…well drum roll please…………the film (yes I said film…weird…I haven’t used that word in ages) is back and here’s just a sample of what they got! We loaded the camera up with a roll of good ol’ 35mm color and gave them the funky task of going around taking shots of their very own! What ever they wanted. Jerry was so into it. Holy cow some of these are so random and freakishly centered! Looks like they had a private session of their own in the ‘getting ready’ room. Meow…LOVE IT. Check em’…

What can I say…we’ve loved Rhonda & Jerry ever since we had the pleasure of shooting their flipside awhile back. So we were SUPER DUPER stoked when we got the opportunity to shoot their ditto (wedding) last weekend. Rhonda & Jerry loooove to play volleyball and Jerry just recently started to get the photography itch (hence the awesome lomography fisheye). I thought I’d put up a quick sneak peek, just to hold them (and you) over. Enjoy…cause we did!!!!

When I first met July & Jeremy this summer in Bisbee, Az., when they modeled for ‘The Click’ a local photography group that Kadie Pangburn & Stuart Mattingly created this year I knew they would have a really good time at their wedding. The fact that they’re both so comfortable with each other and they make others feel this way as well… is so wonderful. I was also very stoked when Kadie invited me along to second shoot their wedding and to hear July was cool with it too made me giddy. The whole week leading up to their wedding I was day-dreaming constantly about certain shots and opportunities we were gonna encounter. As I showed up everyone was so nice and laughter definitely filled the air… so refreshing. A calm bride leads to a great day!!! Their personal funny vows were heartfelt and the flow of the day was perfect. Once I left the reception I knew that I’d captured some fabuloso moments and now I’m sharing them with you all. This is one of my longest posts ever so bare with me! Seriously! There’s a lot to see… so take your time!

holy yummy-ness

Seriously… literally… ah-Mazing!!! Well that’s what I think about this shot. While editing through July & Jeremy’s beautiful day from Saturday I was so pleased with some of the surprises I was able to capture. Kadie Pangburn from ‘Pangburn Photography’ let me tag along and second shoot. It was really neat to see how another wedding photographer’s workflow and setups work. Kadie was really relaxed and didn’t seem to rush anything. The day was so calm and the weather turned out great… even despite the wind gusts. Though the lighting made for some killer images it’s not every day we get magical glowing clouds in the sky. With that said I made my shots completely different from Kadie’s since she did most of the directing… cause duh she was in charge. I chose different angles and view points to put my style on them. I was able to get this killer photograph while Kadie was setting up the next shot with July at the top of the hill. Her flower girls were so cute and helpful. But what little girl wouldn’t want to carry the train of a beautiful wedding dress?. I LOVE all the different textures & how dramatic the lighting is. There’s more to come but I just had to get this one posted…
