I am a certified People Person! Weddings are so much fun because I get to watch people and capture unscripted moments. This little angel was studying a bouquet in the receiving line after the ceremony. Not sure what she was thinking but she looks so adorable in the picture that a million moms would arm wrestle for the privilege of giving her a hug!

Carly and Ryan's lakeside wedding - set to the song Circling. A short review of an almost perfect day. Carly and Ryan were married on a beautiful June day on the shores of Green Bay in Fish Creek.

Ironically, I find myself drawn to film and alternative photography more and more. To…
A High Cliff Bride So many beautiful brides - and so many beautiful images! I find the hardest part of photography is editing. Specifically - culling images the find the best. Sure, the occasional out of focus shot, or someone is blinking, is easy to cut out. But then I get 10 pictures in a row of the same scene but with wonderful little variations. A shy smile in one picture, a serious look in another. One picture is playful while another is deep and serious; and this one has a mystery! They all reflect the complex personalities of my…
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…

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).

Three beautiful sisters at a wedding. It has been a busy busy Summer - and looks like the Fall will be no different. Seemed like we had a long spell of no weddings and now everyone is getting married. I just love this photo as I think it captured the joy of being together to celebrate a wonderful day. This was taken with my Panasonic Lumix LX7. It is a nice lice little camera but hardly state of the art. But you don't need the top camera to have a nice picture! We are so lucky to have great cameras…
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.
