Emma & Randall @ The Orange Circle

Last Saturday I shot Emma and Randall's E-session in Orange.  I have to say that Emma is such an inspiring girl and their whole story is amazing at the least.  Emma is 7 months clear of cancer and that is by the grace of God.  Not only is she free of cancer but this girl is such an amazing inspiration on persevering.  I am just blessed to know this couple and the love they have for one another.  I was so excited to shoot with them in Orange and we had a blast.  These are just a few of my favorites.

A shot of Eliesa in action!

I have to post this shot of Eliesa that I grabbed while we were racing the golf carts to get up to the bride and groom.  This girl is so much fun and such a great person that I know we will be shooting more weddings together in the future.  Thank you Eliesa for everything!

Kati & Josh @ Lake Minnetonka, MN

Wow!!!!!   What a week in Minneapolis, MN.  I am so impressed with the city and people of Minneapolis that I don't know what to say.  I have been so excited to shoot Kati and Josh's wedding and shoot with the amazing Eliesa from Photogen-Inc.  She was not only an amazing assistant but grabbed some awesome images that she will be posting on her blog and I think you should check them out.  The day started off with beautiful skies and great weather.  Right as we were starting the bridal party it began to pour Minnesota style.  I am so glad that the sun cam out again so that we could play.  We were able to grab some great images at the country club and also play on some cool golf carts.  Thank you Kati and Josh for such a wonderful day and I hope Costa Rica is amazing.

I am so Blessed!

Well, I have been in Minneapolis for the week and have had such an amazing time and will have a few more Blogs showing you all the fun stuff going on.  It is so much fun to travel but I do miss my Wife and friends when I am gone.  So, I thought I would post a little about what I am thinking.  One of my favorite authors has a church in Minneapolis called Bethlehem Baptist.  His name is John Piper and today I visited his church.  I was so pleased to see such a modest building and yet such amazing things taking place their.  John has taught me much about the importance of the Glory of God and challenges me to live more for his glory than I do.  It has been good to just reflect on what God has done for my wife and I and our business in this last year.  I would have never thought that I would be shooting a wedding in Minnesota and not with such an amazing photographer as Eliesa.  I know that is is not my doing or because of my good behavior or smart business tactics but God amazing grace and mercy.  He has made this so clear to us.  I also have the best and most amazing wife in all this world.  She is such a rock for me and inspiration to live life to the fullest.  She is my #1 fan and biggest supporter and I love her for that and could never express my gratitude to her.  The picture below is my wife and our friends baby when they were over and I just think my wife looks cute here.  I have to thank all of my clients and friends who have supported me as well.  I give a special thanks to the Boutwells for everything and especially all of the inspiration to not be mediocre, also to Mike Colon and Joel Austell for support and friendship.  Well, I think I just got to sappy, but thought I should give credit where credit is due!

Where have I been? In Minnesota to shoot a wedding and hang with Eliesa!

Well, I flew into Minnesota on Monday to shoot with the amazing photographer from Photogen_inc Eliesa.  I am shooting a wedding on Friday for Josh and Kati and will post it after I shoot it but first I got to shoot with Eliesa and it was amazing.  On Tuesday Eliesa got some models and we shot in her studio for about four hours and had a blast.  Her wonderful assistant Brandon also shot with us and was so great to work with.  These are just a few shots from the day.  Thank you Brea and Cadence for such a great shoot!
