Evie Perez - Chris & Allie, these picture are a thousand word, I don’t know where to start. You all did such a good job and the models were so beautiful!!! Hopefully, I can attend the next shoot out and I know that you all had a blast.

February 17, 2010 - 12:15 pm

Connie Pollitz - I know how cold it was yesterday and I will have to say the models did a great job not showing how cold it REALLY was! I thoroughly enjoyed seeing these two places through the eyes of all photographers. Your intern took some great shots! (Did I see the amazing “machine washed” wedding dress?)

Jon Yoder - Love the pictures, and your blog in general. :) I was curious–how did you light the couple in the three shots 3 from the bottom (with the trees in the background)?

Keep up the good work!

two of our favorite people in the photography world – Sara France and Dane Sanders – mentioned us on a podcast interview. we met sara last year at wppi and got to hang out with her when we were in san diego. she’s also a big aperture user and trainer. see her on the apple...

Instant California

chris got me this awesome camera for christmas. we had so much fun with it. i love it because, unlike digital, you have to pick and choose what you’d want to remember because the film ain’t cheap. i went through almost a whole pack the first day and had to find more! as promised… our...
