I met Nathan a few years ago at my day job, Best Buy in Branson, MO and then again in Springfield, MO. When he first asked me about shooting his upcoming nuptials I was hesitant. I wasn't comfortable with weddings at the time and was terrified of a bridezilla! He assured me that Rachel was sweet and very down to earth. As the big day approached I became more confident of my skills as a photographer and had shot 3 other weddings throughout the year. I knew I wanted a second shooter and I begged my mentor and friend Mike Smith to come and assist at the last minute. His amazing expertise and attention to detail helped make their day so much more special. Thank You Sir!
I am so terribly happy for these two amazing indiviuals. I fist worked with them at Lost Valley State Park in Ponca, AR for their E-Session, 5 miles of hiking in the heat of summer (even before 10am) was killer for me. I am now training to hike Hawksbill Crag before summer! I love these two and hope every wedding I shoot in the future is as lovely as this one. Stunning late summer wedding with a lovely couple. The golden hour lending some of the most stunning light I've ever had the chance to photograph. I am loving this new direction my work is going. I've been editing my heart out for these last two weddings as well as trying to find my way back into my artform. The jobless depression this summer was tough and the complete shock of never being welcomed into the new job and hastily let go due to some pathetic excuse has been almost more than I can take. I actually feel much better about it. I wont comprimise on quality or my vision, I know if I would have stayed there my art and my creativity would have suffered. It was being doused daily. Good work ethic and timing is just what landed on my doorstep. I have a new job already, hired the day after I got fired. I'm pretty damn happy about it.
I adore Halloween. Costumes and candy... whats not to love. i had the chance to do some promo work for the Verona Corn Maze Haunted Cow Train and wanted to show it off again. Expect a few halloween posts today. Puts me in the mood to do a very themed shoot. Fingers crossed this little escapade this evening will turn out well.
You remember Nathan and Rachel from the Lost Valley State park... 5 mile hike this summer don't you? I'm now working on their wedding images!!!! Such a lovely pair they are!!!
