Just wanted to share a quick idea from Chris and Jaseyīs wedding - I know many of you are getting ready and finishing up final details & decor.  Chris and Jasey are into biking and they made a sculpture to hang over the dance floor by hanging glass strands from a bike tire.  Jasey said they found everything at a local craft store and then they had two lights shining on the glass to reflect light.  Lighting is everything when it comes to photography - so spoil yourself (and me!) There are so many cool variations you could do with this kind of idea! So creative Jasey and Chris!
Photographer: Jenna Walker
Date: April 5, 2008
We had a BLAST in Kansas this weekend and are rooting for KU tonight in the Final Four Championship.  Youīve won us over Jasey and Chris! A huge congrats to you on an amazing wedding weekend that you put your hearts into!

Yesterday we headed out on the town all across Manhattan for a shoot with Jola and Scott - we covered miles by foot and cab but stumbled upon an old vintage couch on a sidewalk just steps from their front door.  Jola and Scott - you have been the MOST amazing hosts to us - thank you from the bottom of our hearts!  
Photographer: Katie Thurmes
I came across this image from this past September. I just love how genuinely expressive Tara is here - her first glimpse at herself in the mirror as a bride. A little detail from the day worth celebrating.  Hope you're finding all the little details to celebrate this week!

What: Flobots open for The Fray at Red Rocks - Aug, 2007
While we canīt yet release the images Matt just shot last week for this Colorado band, I wanted to share this image Matt shot while photographing the Flobots last summer.  Mattīs cousin Jesse plays the bass for the group. BIG things are in store for these guys!  I remember the day cousin Jesse talked about following the dream to play music professionally...I love this photo of Mattīs and it reminds me of the power of following dreams. They really can come true.
