Just wanted to share a quick idea from Chris and Jasey´s 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! |

While we can´t 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.
