Wedding Photography : Here are a few shots from some weddings and a bridal shoot that we have done. We really enjoy weddings and bridal shoots. The energy and emotion of the day is a wonderful celebration to capture in photos. Our goal is to capture the day as it unfolds and to also capture the "classic" portraits just before the reception.

We will help you come up with a list of shots that are your top desired shots that you'd like to have as well as capture the unexpected special moments as they unfold throughout the day. Please contact us for additional examples of our work and to discuss your specific needs and pricing.

Platon Style : Inspired by the English Photographer Platon. This was an attempt to adopt some of his style into my own photography. It definitely yields some very dramatic and interesting results. These were all taken with the very fun and inexpensive Canon G7. I enjoy using the G7 more every time I use it. It is a very fun and compact camera.

Playing around with Tim : This was a little experiment I did with my little point and shoot digital camera. I used the built in flash to fire my studio flashes and was able to get a sync speed of 1/1000 of a second. Completely unreal. I enjoy making images with my DSLR but it is fun to use the Panasonic DMC-LX1 to make some interesting images and to use it at 1/1000 of a second. You can check the EXIF data to see that, that was the exposure time.

The DMC-LX1 has no where near the dynamic range of the DSLR but it is a fun little take it anywhere camera and can be used in the studio too.
