As I was going back through some images today, I found this one and for some reason didn’t include it in my earlier post – definitely one of my fav’s so though I would throw it up!

And a Quick HDR-Style I liked


I’m going to have to start holding photos for ransom in exchange for blog comments a little more often I think – who knew that would work!
After all my whining about the heat and rain the day before, I decided to go back out in it today….. but for a good cause! We’ll be shooting the wedding of Janelle & Kevin this August, and today was a great opportunity for us to get a little practice by shooting some engagement photos. It seems like everything I’ve done lately has been at the same park in Schenectady (not that it’s not a nice place to shoot), but we decided to try a brand new place to shoot today (which I was a bit nervous about since I didn’t have my normal “no-brainer” shots lined up), but am so glad we did….. I now have a new sweet spot and Kevin & Janelle got to be the pioneers of the new location :)
As photogenic as this couple is, it’s pretty difficult to take a bad photo of them….. if they look this good in the park, I can only imagine how nice they’ll clean up on their wedding day! Here are a few samples from our session together….. careful, one or two of them might be rated R.
P.S. Stay tuned for the all-new blog which I’m pretty excited to release hopefully this week!

[...] (not to mention their bridal party was awesome to work with as well). I knew when we shot their engagements together a few months ago, their wedding would be a lot of fun. Jamaica and I had a lot of fun [...]August 18, 2008 – 1:36 am

A quick teaser from our session with Janelle & Kevin today at our new top secret shooting location! Maybe if someone leaves a comment below, I’ll post some more samples? :)
P.S. Is this shot ridiculous or what – wow!

Whether it was a limo showing up an hour late, dirt on the dress, a delayed ceremony, pouring rain, blistering heat, or whatever else could possibly been thrown their way….. nothing could stop Nicole & Damian from an amazing wedding that they’ve waited so long to have! I often find it intersting how different people handle different situations, challenges and stress if different ways….. I was absolutely amazed at how calm and collective Nicole & Damian were able to remain on a day that definitely brought some challenges our way – a true testament to what great and special kind of people they are.
It was an honor for Jamaica and I to photograph this wedding, and despite a bit of a crazy day, had an absolute blast. When we left the church, it was raining out, but we decided to go for it, by going to our outdoor shooting location anyway. As we got there, the rain stopped (only for 20 minutes, which is probably the fastest I have ever shot with an entire bridal party and the bride and groom themselves). As we finished and got back into the car to head to the reception, it downpoured as if we were in a hurricane…… talk about amazing luck and timing!
A huge thanks to Nicole, Damian, and their family and friends for allowing us to hang out and document their special day. We have hundreds of amazing photos that I can’t wait to share.

I leave you with a few samples from the day below:

Matt and Tanya, your work forever continues to impress me. These shots are incredible especially when Damien is lifting Nicole off her feet! That was such a perfect shot of them. You two do some amazing work together.July 13, 2008 – 4:34 pm

Wow – what a sticky, hot & overall exhausting day – I feel like I just got hit by a train! I’m off to bed, but wanted to post a quick “teaser” image from today’s wedding with Nicole & Damian. Check back tomorrow for a full blog entry with more samples and a link to the online event!
