Katie and Brian's Wedding

We had the privilege to photograph Katie and Brian's wedding a couple weeks ago. What fun! They are just great people and the rest of their family is so nice. It was really cold so we were indoors for the most part. The ceremony was right here in Dublin, at St. Brigid, which is always nice. That church seems to have been built to make weddings go smoothly.After the ceremony we all had a little fun with pictures.Then we went off to where the reception was -- just a couple hours early for some more pictures -- outside ones this time. Now, remember, the temperature was about 5 degrees (-15C) and with the windchill factor, it felt like -8 (-22C). So we went outside with the guys and made them stay in place while the girls ran out to their assigned positions for a few photos. Yes, they were cold, but real good sports.They even did another picture -- this time with the guys' jackets on.Then we went to the mall. Hey, why not? We had gone over there the week before and asked management if that was OK because of the temperatures outside. They let us. We were flabbergasted -- definitely not the norm for any mall management. Just as long as we didn't get any stores' signs in the images. There was this cool staircase and railing at one end that was perfect for the pictures. They even raised some gates that were down there. They let mall security know about us and they were so nice. He came over while we were there to see if there was anything else he could help with.Brian's mom worked at one of the stores in the mall so we had to get a shot in there -- of course we asked. At first she looked at me really strangely, then, when I told her who Brian's mom was she was cool with it.After hanging out at Caribou Coffee (we warned them the day before) it was time for the reception. That was a lot of fun, too, but I'll let you watch the slideshow to see how that went. There was this one guest, though, who looked kind of strange -- very hairy -- but who am I to judge their friends?Now, watch the slideshow, and then leave a comment below. I'll make sure Brian and Katie see them.

Sara and Matt's Album

Here's Sara and Matt's album from the end of last September. The design was just recently finalized so we were able to finish it. I think it turned out really well. Our friend, Leann, from Indiana came along for this wedding. With three photographers it was well covered and the album shows. It ended up being a 60-page album. Check out the album slideshow.

Ethan -- two for one

On this post, you'll see two slideshows of Ethan. The first one was last October and the second one was in December. He is such a cutie so I thought I'd put them both up here together.





Several months ago Ethan came in with his family for some newborn portraits. He was so cute. Newborns are so much fun to photograph because you really never know what's going to happen. And it happened. A fountain while dad was holding him -- dad was pretty soaked! He was a real good sport about it and we all laughed.

Here's a very late slideshow of Ethan's newborn portraits.



And now for his three-month portraits. These were a lot of fun, too. He's really filled out a lot. It's so much fun seeing all the changes in babies over the years. There's a slideshow for these, too, but if you see the one right above, it goes straight to this one.

Marco

Marco's senior portraits turned out so well. His slideshow has been up for a little while and has been really popular. Lots of people have seen it! I suppose that even more will see it now. Here's the link to his slideshow. Enjoy!

Chris

Chris came in a couple weeks ago for his senior portraits. He also needed his yearbook picture within two days. While that's pretty last-minute, we were able to get everything all worked out. Here's his slideshow.
