Matt & Erika -The Wedding Collection-

It was a day where I had no excuse of "screwing it up". Or so I was told, defiantly, by the groom to be, my close friend, and the most lifelike version of your favorite Toy Story cowboy you'll ever encounter. I had just purchased my new camera and was feeling rather "en fuego" with my new and improved photographic power. So Matt quickly brought me backdown to reality, reminding me that I could still ruin things.

It's hard to ruin a wedding day that involves a bride & groom shoot on a basketball court. From the steps of the temple to the bombardment by bird seed (see last pic), these two pleasant Petersons were rollicking in the happiness of their wedding day. A teary eyed hug from a sister, a proud and gosh I love you so much gaze from Mom during the ring ceremony, a never forget dance with dad, it was all to be remembered and cherished. Here's to not being able to screw things up, even if I wanted to. This is the wedding day of Matt & Erika.

The Jones' -The Family Collection-

Keeping up with the Jones'? Ya right. This families willingness to participate in my kooky ideas might have been unprecedented. While delivering my hopeful and certainly unorthodox new concept to them they were completely unabashed. Unfazed. Sounds sweet how should we start, they said. I must note that they were so excited and enamored with giddiness (might be an exaggeration), that Mr. Jones had to use the ladies room before we started. *Insert worn out abbreviation for a laugh here* Just couldn't contain the anxiousness. In the course of ninety minutes I photographed helpless laughing, russian dancing, pencil jumping, and pedestrian desires to be photographed (strangers see a camera and they beg for attention, weird?). We were lucky to have Justin join us for the shoot and get involved (he has this hilariously odd way of garnishing laughs from others with either cartoonish voices or simply saying nothing at all accompanied with awkward stares). He and Jen, the Jones' oldest daughter, are now engaged. Congratulations to them. And congrats to this family for being so starkly agreeable to my constant demands. This is the Jones family.
