Vintage Photography

They wrapped their arms around one another in a moment so surreal.  They were husband and wife.  The feeling of awe and excitement rushed over them like a warm embrace on a cold winters night
A moment captured with nostalgia and beauty.  A timeless moment captured on Holga film.I shoot Holga film for moments like these.  Moments where it feels like time has stopped.  it’s just the two of you and nothing else matters.  There’s just nothing like Holga film; digital doesn’t come close not even 35mm film.  It captures the moment in such a way that only it can.  They are real moments captured with grace and love.
I shoot Holga film because it’s imperfect in a world that tries so hard to be perfect.  I shoot Holga because it’s simple.

I shoot Holga film because people say it can’t be used in the professional setting, I say it can.  I shoot Holga film because it’s part of my heart and soul.

On a personal note; I am putting my money where my mouth is and working my ass off to bring a level of service and uniqueness that only I can deliver.  It’s going to be a rock’n wedding season this year!

Laughter really is the best medician.

Just a note to always laugh even when you want to cry.

No matter how loud,
No matter how silly
Giggle Ha Ha
Snicker Hee Hee
There’s no laugh as cute
As yours is to me.

Working with Your Photographer; Weather

It’s on days like today, freezing with blowing snow, that I really think about what happens if I was shooting a wedding today?  Living in the bi-polar state of Colorado you really do need to be prepared for what mother nature could throw at you.  I’ve shot weddings in sub-zero temps, blizzards and rain.  But the thing I keep coming back to is I STILL want to be outside.  No matter what the weather is doing, I still want to be shooting outside.  Sounds crazy right?  I think there’s just something about being outside that makes things more relaxed, natural and centered.  Maybe that’s because I love the outdoors so much?  I think it’s so important to keep an open mind when things don’t go exactly as planned.  Sure everyone wants the 70 degrees and sunny wedding day, but we all know that doesn’t always happen.  You never know what your photographer has up their sleeve to make some unique and gorgeous photos despite the less then ideal weather.  Don’t be afraid to go with it, get a little wet and enjoy your day they way you always wanted too!  So when making you’re time line and plan B’s for the big day think about grabbing an umbrella or having a cute shrug to help keep you warm.   My hope is you’ll venture out even if it’s for a little bit.  Just to enjoy your day rain, snow, sleet or shine!

Wedding Photography Tips #23

Wedding Photography Tips #23: Is an Album from my photographer Necessary?

Well nothing is necessary, it is all perspective.   I believe having an album of your wedding is extremely important.  It’s a hard copy account of your day.  Something tangible you can touch and feel.   I like being able to feel something, it heightens the whole experience for me.  Watching a slide show of 600 image from your friends wedding just doesn’t have the same fuzzy feelings as a tangible album to look through.

It also goes back to the previous post on what do you do with all this digital information.   You want to preserve it for your grand kids to someday see what you wore and what you looked like when you got married.   The best way to save those memories is through an album that will stand against all the digital changes we’re sure to go through over the next 60 years.
