My Second Wedding

Thanks to "Capture This!" by Brooke, I was able to shoot second once again to try to overcome my fear of being the sole photographer and potentially ruining someones wedding memories. I do love to shoot weddings. I just love being surrounded by all of the excitement and happiness. As a photographer it is a very great atmosphere to be in. Nathan and Amanda were really nice people and they and their families really had a fun day. The wedding was held on the rooftop of the hotel and was nearly rained out. Fortunately it passed and we only had to deal with a little wind.

Here are a few of my favorites from the day.

And I'm off...

I've wanted to start a blog through Blogger for some time now. So here I go. This should be fun. Lets start with an introduction.

This is me.


I grew up between North Dakota and Arizona. I received my degree in Commercial Art in 1989 and have been working as a production designer all these years. Yeah... I'm getting old. I'm an Apple freak! Macintosh, iPods, iPhone you name it, I love it. My family and I have been back in Arizona since 2001.

Speaking of family, this is my beautiful wife. We been with each other for nearly 20 years.


We have three great boys.

The High School Graduate/Rocker.


The High School Freshmen/Rocker in Training.



The Sixth Grader/Tough Guy.



Ok so that was my quirkie first post. I hope to be able to start out with a new post at least once a week sharing images and experiences from my personal life as well as my experiences cutting my teeth as a professional photographer. I hope to see you back.
