Daily Photo - The Garter Belt
The garter belt tradition is apparently not one of the most beloved wedding traditions by all brides. But nonetheless, I wanted to to a sexy but tasteful photo of one.
Photo Gallery - Matt and Jacque’s Wedding
Select Photos from Wedding and Reception
Here are some pictures from Matt and Jacque’s wedding. What a blast! It was really more like a big party that a stodgy ol’ wedding. I knew this wedding was going to be different when the bride’s father started handing out necklaces with Sauza tequila shot glasses on the end. This was BEFORE the ceremony, mind you! He was quite the character, and supplied me with a lot of great experessions in my images. Mom did very well to take all of his shirtless antics in stride. The best part though was the fact that Matt and Jacque are super cool, super smart Ivy League types, and best of all, they loved me and my work ;>) It was wonderful to see two people truly in love and drama-free. I wish you guys the best. Oh, and Jacque wore the coolest wedding shoes EVER … Pumas!
First Comes Love, Next Comes Marriage, Then Steve Z in a Baby Carriage
Things have really been cranking on the wedding front these days. I will be assisting two wedding photographers this summer as well as shooting some of my own weddings. My first two of the season will be this weekend as well as Memorial Day weekend. The first one is in Aspen, which should be pretty sweet.
I took all these photos in the last week, practicing up on the skills while not actually attending any weddings. Check out the PHOTO GALLERY HERE.
The Homeless Groom, “Will Wed For Food”
So one of the things that I’ve been very busy working on is my wedding portfolio. I did a photo shoot for my newlywed neighbors this past Thursday. I rented a tuxedo for Jon, who happens to be exactly the same size as me. When I found out that I was going to have the tux for all of Friday, I called up Steve G to look for some photo inspiration. Being a wacky guy himself, I knew we could come up with something entertaining. Oh, BTW, the shoot was amazing! Perfect light, pretty people …
So Steve G and Steve Z headed out to the intersection of Baseline and 27th Way with some cardboard signs that I made. I have always wondered what it would be like to pan-handle. I’ll admit, I was a little intrigued at the thought of some easy spending $$$. But I was a little let down when I realized that 85% of the drivers out there are really no fun at all. Personally I thought what I was doing was pretty damn funny, yet still most people wouldn’t even acknowledge my presence. Additionally, I’m pretty sure I was responsible for causing a mild fender bender, when an SUV stopped short then the SUV behind her rammed into the back of her. Oops. Sorry.
Overall though, it was a pretty entertaining way to spend an hour. I made a few people laugh, so that’s what’s important. Hopefully you are laughing at my dumb ass right now. I’m not going to be pounding the streets anytime soon though. Maybe it would be more lucrative if I looked more pathetic and needy? The $2.27 and a bag of potato chips that I scored was pretty sweet, well, maybe not that sweet. The shot of the potato chip handoff via mini-van IS priceless, you have to admit!
Daily Photo - Wedding Season
I’ve been preparing to shoot a bunch of weddings this year. I have two at the end of the month, including one in Aspen. That should be a good time, it has been almost 10 years since I’ve been there. I just dropped big dollar$ on a 70-200 2.8 IS lens for the occasions. Ouch! Anyway, these shoes are Manolo Blahnick shoes. Apparently they cost $850!
