Big NEWs!
It is not just a convention for wedding photographers, the DWFConvention is "the" convention for the worlds most progressive and edgy wedding photographers period. And..... Guess what? For the 3rd time we have been asked to speak and present at this industry leading event, and we are in a headline role along side of some of our favorite photographers... The best of the best will be there... What are we going to do? Well, for the 1st convention, we shot a real wedding, made a full flushmount album overnight that was presented by a GI-Joe ninja, played with inflatable palm trees and we showed off a Bride on Fire. For the 2nd convention we went out into the desert along with world famous David Beckstead, and we stuffed a bride in a trunk with a shovel carrying groom just after we tossed a camera 30' and dropped it (we sold that camera for charity) and the shovel went on to travel the world and get its own website..... And what do we have planned for the '09 convention? We'll show you everything we can do in the DARK. Well.... maybe not everything...
Brittany and Devin
San Diego, CA and La Jolla. What can I say, just beautiful places... throw a good looking couple in the mix that happens to be triathletes and this extended engagement session yields just too many good images to be held in this blog. So, thanks to David Jay, I've recently started to play around with some slide show software for the web... take a look at their slide show HERE. Also, I've just started to tweek down some custom presets which hopefully will make my tight workflow even tighter... Brittany and Devin, I hope you don't mind me experimenting on your images. Its just about that time again to re-invent myself.
A Little Traveling
The other week we did a little bit of traveling... We went to Redlands, CA and then to San Diego for an extended super cool engagement session... I'll post that tomorrow, but i'll leave you with a few shots i did for myself before i head out the door to L.A.

Happy bookbinding!
Eric and Donna
I love the wind. Thats what I tell everyone that mentions with apprehention that it is going to be windy.... a good breeze moves the dress, makes the hair dance around the face, and takes things that are static and makes them very dynamic... I love wind... Eric and Donna were such good sports, when we realized that the desert was going to be very windy - I just decided to play it up and make it the theme of the shoot. Facing the elememnt and fighting the wind together, it's drama that you just can't buy, but I'm sure ready to take advantage of it...
Lausanne & Jimmy
The BoneYard! When Lausanne and Jimmy showed up to the boneyard, I knew right away that I just wanted to play with color - and there isn't a better place in Las Vegas to do that than the neon boneyard. We had a great time and I really can't wait for their ultra cool destination wedding in Mexico... That will be such a blast.
Kerri and Rick
I went out to the desert to shoot this groovy duo. On the way there, I found out that Kerri is a photographer as well... nothing like a little pressure...
Anyway, I love to shoot other photographers (as a matter of fact, I have a project about that it that will be announced soon.) Hopefully Rick didn't get too bored listening to us talk shop (I also love to BS while I'm around other photographers) Sorry Rick... but I had fun, thanks for letting me get you dirty.
