Well! It took me a little longer than I’d thought to get all of these finished up, but here they are as promised! I really enjoyed working with Josh and Jen, and I’m really looking forward to 2009 to keep moving forward as a photographer! Here are the shots we got!

Don’t ask about this last one. I don’t get it either. Ha!

Sunday night I had the privilege of spending the evening with a super fun couple! Josh and Jenny June!  Too bad it already gets so dark so early around these parts, and then add in the clouds, and we weren’t able to get any shots in before it got dark! But we headed over to the hotel where Josh and Jen are having their reception, the Holiday Inn of Fargo, and we had a lot of fun! It’ll take me a few more days at least to get them all completely finished up, but here is a quick preview of what’s to come!

Perhaps one day I’ll be able to do a whole engagement shoot in 1 post. If only the North Dakota weather would cooperate with me! The weather refused to cooperate with us, and so we rescheduled another hour for next week. Until then, we have Uriah and Ashley’s engagement pictures - Part 1!  I am really pleased with these, and Uriah and Ashley liked them too! Thanks guys! 

My personal favorite from the shoot!

Yes, that’s right! Casey and Linsey are back again!

We always intended to get back together for a couple more formal shots.  I think these turned out nicely! I went into this shoot with black and white on the brain, so I tried to shoot them in such a way as to get a nice black and white shot, and I’m pretty happy with what we got! We also did a couple pictures for a potential newspaper announcement.

Casey and Linsey are getting married on May 17th! I won’t be their photographer for their wedding (being I am in it!), but I’ll be sure to have a few shots of my own from it!

Casey asks Linsey to dance, but she rejects him!



Of course she’s just playing! 



Casey always picks Linsey up at some point!




For the newspaper:




Casey All Alone

I am finally done! I know I said in my last post there were 9 left, but Linsey specifically asked for another picture that I was going to leave out...since it’s their pictures, I decided to do it for her. :D There might be a couple more shots down the road, a more formal shot for a newspaper announcement, perhaps, and a fun one we planned, but otherwise we are done. I think Casey and Linsey are happy with them, and that was the point!

And here is a shot that Casey specifically requested. Casey wanted to see what the Building picture would look like flipped around. I had to fix the numbers so they faced the right way, but I agree with him I like the bottom left to top right look better also.

Welcome to Part 2 of Casey and Linsey’s Engagement pictures.  This has been a real learning experience for me, as I wasn’t sure how long it would take to sort through the over 100 shots we took and pick my favorites and touch them up! It is taking longer than I thought it would, although I am learning a few tricks to move faster. Here are the next 8 pictures I have finished! Look for the final 9 pictures this weekend!

PS - I got the 6 pictures from Part 1 printed out in matte, glossy, and metallic finishes to check them out.  The metallic finish is amazing...it reminds me of the paint on your car.  It is a little more expensive and the finish is more easily damaged, but I think it is my new favorite!

Today I am putting up the first 6 pictures from the photo shoot we did for Casey and Linsey’s Engagement! There will probably be a few more posts with them, as there are several more I am not done working on, plus we have a more formal shoot planned for later on.  We had a great time yesterday shooting this, even though we got a little cold! I hope you like them!

You see Linsey distracting Casey with a kiss while she moves his chess piece? I call this one “Cheater Linsey!”
