What? A wedding? On my blog? Crazy!

Yes, fear not. We do in fact shoot quite a few weddings, in the midst of all of our other projects and shoots, and I figured, hey, why not blog another, so that people can actually see more than just one wedding that we’ve shot? hehe

I’m so excited about this one! We had a great time, as always. I should stop writing that, because it’ll pretty much be a given. Maybe I should only comment on our enjoyment factor, if we didn’t like it, hmmm…

Hmmm indeed.

I’m also going crazy over the last two weddings we shot, as they were beyond amazing. We aren’t shooting as many Tyler weddings as out of town weddings, weirdly enough, but are getting more people from Dallas/Austin/Houston (and sometimes out of the state) who are searching for their photographer, and don’t have any biases as to who to use, like who their great aunt on their mothers’ sisters’ dog’s twice removed owners’ niece’s side recommends, hehe…

(there are some talented photographers in the area too, so don’t get me wrong there)

I’m not allowing us to have any “system” that we get used to, or shoot the same, lazy shots each time. A new rule I’ve decided to implement, is that I won’t allow us to use a background, or any area twice either for group shots, whether it be anything from an engagement session, to a band, to a free shoot, to anything, for that matter. If a photographer gets lazy, then he/she gets passed up. I’ve actually stopped looking at other’s blogs too, because I don’t want to accidentally copy a shot of theirs, even when I don’t want to, because their framing pops in my head somehow when shooting a similar shot. There are a million great photographers out there these days, so you absolutely have to not fall into a “system”. If my assistant and I aren’t tired by the end of the day, then I haven’t done my job correctly! Ask him, and see… hehe

(having a style is different than a system, but that’s another post, for another day)

By the way, we have an absolutely-crazy-insane-awesome-epic-politically-incorrect shoot planned late this week, involving 2 of my guy friends, and 3 of our other halves as well, but more on that later.

Now, onto the wedding…

And yes, I know that one of the images is on there twice. I just really liked both versions, so call me crazy…

Actually, don’t.

Hehe, enjoy!

    Thanks a ton James, it seriously means a lot! I still can’t believe that people actually pay us to have fun, since photography is pretty much the coolest thing ever, besides my new washer and dryer… hehe
