Breaking Dawn
(please click to view on black // canon 5d mark ii, canon 70-200 f/2.8 is l, 200mm, iso 400, f/8.0, 1/1000 // buy print) Yes, it’s Movie Title Wednesday and yes, I’m using a Twilight film! You can blame my buddy Chris DeAngelis for pointing me in the direction of this title. We also came up with Dumb and Dumber, but that was for an entirely different reason that I’m sure Chris would want me to keep close to the vest (insert LOLLING here). Breaking Dawn. Ugh. I usually do this series to recommend movies, but with apologies to my [...]

Here’s a frame from Rachel and Scott’s wedding yesterday. Not gonna lie. I love this one.
Jessica + Mason | Wedding
Jessica and Mason grew up together in a small town called Parker in the state of Colorado. They’ve known each other forever. They’ve been dating for 11 years. And it was time to make it official. Being from a small town, they had a lot of the same friends, especially from a super young age. So of course it warranted a massive wedding party. And an 8400 square foot vacation home where they all stayed before the wedding and even after. I can’t even imagine how much fun that must have been for all of them. The party of the [...]
The Rock
(please click to view on black // canon 5d mark ii, canon 17-40mm f/4 l, 17mm, f/16, iso 100, 0.4sec // buy print) I am in Corvallis, Oregon for three days this week for my day job and was absolutely blessed with an opportunity to go to Cannon Beach on Monday before heading down south. It allowed me to witness one of the most breathtaking sights in America. At least…one of the most amazing places I’ve seen so far in my life. Quickly though…it’s Movie Title Wednesday and the choice for this image was obvious. The Rock. Nic Cage. Sean [...]
Sneak peek | Wedding
Jessica and Mason’s big day had a bit of everything. An 8400 square foot vacation home. 18 close friends. Drinking. A dog with a tie. A basketball court. Live music by Young Country. A donut tower. All kinds of awesome. Full wedding story later this week! (scroll down to check out photos or click on the first one and manually arrow through them like a slideshow!)
Brandon + Amanda | Wedding
You never know what kind of weather you’ll get out here in Arizona. People love it because of the 300+ days of sunshine make outdoor weddings easy to plan without much worry about rain or storms. Especially when you schedule one in the spring where the monsoons are a long ways off still. But this is the desert and things change quickly. The weekend before Amanda and Brandon’s wedding, it was almost 90 degrees. But when they woke up on their wedding day, it was windy, cold and a chance of rain was in the air. They were worried about [...]
The Forgotten
(please click to view on black // canon 5d mark ii, canon 17-40 f/4 l, 17mm, iso 100, f/22, 117sec // buy print) The Forgotten is a not-so-great film with a pretty great title, so I’m using it this week for Movie Title Wednesday! When I look at this image, the word “forgotten” is the first thing that comes to mind. The movie itself stars Julianne Moore and is a sort of creepy, sci-fi, horror-ish kind of tale. I honestly don’t remember much other than Moore and seeing a dude get sucked through the roof of a cabin. I’m a [...]
