My first love in photography is weddings. I am just a life long romantic! It is a great privilege to share a special day with my wedding couples and their family and friends.
Does wedding photography equipment matter? I think the answer is "sometimes". Let me tell you why. Two Kinds of Photographers I always thought there were two kinds of photographers - Technicians & Artists. Technicians love the technical aspects of photography - the gear. For them it is all about the equipment and the technical process of creating an image. Artists care more about the emotional aspects of an image. They view equipment as merely tools to get the job done. Getting the two together to view images can be frustrating but a little fun. The Artists will see the image…
Dateline: Annecy France, on the shores of beautiful Lake Annecy. People talk about their dream jobs or dream careers. I don't know if I have had a dream career but I have had a pretty good time. Maybe my fantasy career would be "International Wedding Photographer". Jetting off to romantic and beautiful spots with the rich and fmaous.. and of course earning a seven figure income! I shoot this photo in Annecy France at a romantic wedding on the shores of Lake Annecy. Does that qualify me an International Wedding Photographer? I think so... The interesting thing is the look…

Wedding on Sunday and a different role for me - I was the officiant! Katie and Jake honored me with a request to marry them and I hope I rose to the challenge. It was a wonderful day in a wonderful location and I was so happy to be part of their new life together. Above is one picture I did take (I had to bring my camera and get a few shots).
It's Friday and my work week is finishing up. Or is the weekend kicking off? It's all a matter of perspective. Up is down and left is right depending on where you stand. Good is bad and bad is good depending on the ultimate outcome. I think it also depends on our thinking. If we seek the good we will find it. Or maybe it will find us. Did you ever know someone who seemingly always had bad luck? Everything goes wrong and their life is full of drama. Maybe it's not bad luck but bad thinking; they see…
Weddings are so much fun! Too much work. maybe! Just a fast portrait at my last wedding - so much joy in her face! Canon 5d mkIII | Canon 24-105 f/4 L | 58mm | 1/50s at f/4
A special day at St. Mark's because we had a wedding vow renewal. Fifteen years and still so in love! We did this portrait right after church. The light coming into the windows was so nice. I added a flash bounced off the side wall of the church to fill in the shadows. To get the balance between flash and ambient correct I shot in manual mode and set my shutter speed to 1/100 sec and aperture to f/5.6 to get the dept of field. I then metered the scene and set the ISO to 640. Flash was set on…
Some Wedding fun from last year. We made this video to show at the reception. When the couple was introduced at the start of the reception we announced they were late then showed the video. The Couple came into the hall at the end of the video and the crowd went wild! Maria and Chase are Late from Jalanlee on Vimeo.
