Jessica and Daniel - Engagement Session

Daniel and Jessica are engaged to be married on January 3, 2009. I don't get too many January weddings so I am excited to preserve the many memories of Jessica and Daniel's wedding. Daniel is a bricklayer and has done a lot of work at the Missouri Botanical Garden -- so it was fitting that Jessica chose MBG for their engagement session.

Nikki and Joe - October 4th, 2008

Joe and Nikki were married on a beautiful fall day at St. Margaret of Scotland -- another beautiful south St. Louis church, and, coincidentally, the church my dad grew up attending. Joe is a high school teacher and track coach so we had to take a quick detour to include some pictures at the St. Louis U. High running track. I don't remember who won the "groomsmen dash" -- you can judge for yourself from the pictures! The awesome reception was held at the Sheraton Westport Inn. DJ Marlon of TKO DJ's kept the dance floor bumpin' all night long! Congratulations Nikki and Joe...may the hinges on the gates to your happiness never grow rusty!

10/10/08 - Friday night GOYA project...

Tonight I had to take a break from the demands of two jobs, three kids, four pieces of pie (just kidding)...and indulge in a little "GOYA" project (a GOYA project is where a photographer needs a break in the routine and just needs to go shoot for fun...and GOYA stands for "get off your a**" LOL). I went to the park (actually my intentions were to get some exercise) armed with one of my oldest ("functionally obsolete") digital cameras, a fish eye lens and a monopod. I shot almost everything at f22 -- basically a very slow shutter speed and a very broad depth of field. Here are some of the images...
