Tonight I was going through some of my old work – before the days of chasing brides and grooms around crazy weddingscapes. I spent time in New England, Colorado, California, Alaska and Hawaii capturing nature and wildlife images. Tonight I realized that exactly five years ago today, I was on one of the most amazing photo shoots of my early career. I was asked to shoot photographs for Katmailand in Alaska for their new website (I shot most of the panoramas on the interactive map). Over the course of many weeks, they flew me out to their various lodges to shoot the beauty and the bears of this amazing region.
There were so many bears, you soon grew complacent and they became fixtures on the natural, constant landscape. As I sit in my office in Florida, I would give anything to be in their presence once again.

To many people (especially in Florida) a murky creek means snakes, mud, gators, and just plain grossness. To me, it is a photo studio just BEGGING for a pristine white dress. Yesterday, Shannon and Miguel granted my wish of shooting a trashing session in this small creek here in Melbourne. Just before the shoot however, we were greeted with the presence of a six foot gator (he was a ways away) but it was still unnerving to say the least. With Miguel dry on shore and on gator patrol, Shannon and I jumped in for some shots.
The hardest part of Trash the Dress shoots is picking which ones to put on the blog. I posted my top faves, and the rest can be seen over here on Flickr.
Enjoy!

I stumbled on this over the interwebs this morning, and thought I’d share. To some people, thinking differently is a cliche, for others a requirement. These guys pulled something off that is not only unique, but just very cool.
I hope this motivates all the couples out there that are in the throes of wedding planning to break open the ideas and plan something truly unique!

Good morning everyone!
Here is the slideshow from Natalie + Marc’s backyard wedding in beautiful Portland, Oregon!

Typically I am a lone shooter…I enjoy the intensity of “owning the moment” and not needing to keep track of another photographer. However, I had the privilege of covering Heather + Harry’s wedding with Chrissy from Vitalic Photo a while back. To my surprise it was awesome having a teammate covering the event!!
I waited to post some sneak peeks out of respect for her client and to make sure they had seen everything.
So, the wraps are off!
Heather and Harry had a beautiful brunch wedding at the Moorings in Vero Beach. We had a blast on the golf course (even though it was pretty HOT) racing around in the carts.
Below are a couple of my favs from the shoot.

PS. Check out Chrissy’s cross-post of the shoot on their blog.

What is better than a mini vacation to the awesome city of Portland? Combining it with a beautiful, family oriented wedding! I was so excited to be a part of Natalie + Marc’s backyard wedding. The weather was incredible, the venue was amazing and the chickens were…well chickens (long story).
The wedding wrapped up with a beautiful dinner and dancing at the Siam Society in Portland. Music was provided by The Essentials – perhaps one of the most talented and fun cover bands I have ever heard. It is hard to take photos when even the photographer can’t keep from dancing!
I am so thankful for everyone that treated me like a member of their family and for my wonderful friends that showed me a truly awesome time in PDX!
Here are a few sneak peaks of the images to come!
