Sorry for the lack of updates recently!!! I got married last month, and it’s unbelievable how busy I was...not to mention I would rather have been spending time with my new wife than blogging pictures! hehe!

But here are Terry’s senior portraits! I had a great time with Terry, and we got a lot of fun shots! Enjoy!

There is a martial arts studio in downtown Fargo with a great graffiti style mural on the back of their building based on the Kung Fu Panda movie!

We took a little time for Terry to showcase his guitar skills in the park.

We took Terry’s drums outside for these next shots! This next one is my favorite from the whole shoot!!!

Alex and Stephanie were married on August 15, 2009! They were a lot of fun to work with and I had a great time! Thanks you guys!

This cute little girl was watching intently during the Cha Cha slide. About halfway through she started trying to imitate the dancers! It was super cute!

Wow! I am crazy busy with planning a wedding! So sorry it took so long to get all these finished up, but here they are! I really enjoyed Preston and Jessica’s wedding. They were both so cool and calm. A few things went wrong, and they just laughed it off, let it go, and had a great wedding!

I decided to help give Jessica a start to her modeling career. I know Pepsi will call!

Everybody was just having a good time and enjoying themselves during the pictures, which I loved! This is the kind of stuff that was happening around me while shooting!

On Sunday, I had the pleasure of shooting another wedding, Preston and Jessica Pease!

I am still working on the pictures, but I finished these 2 shots up tonight, and I was so excited about them I just had to share! I will put the rest up when they are done, but for now, here is a very small preview!

Last month while I was out in Oregon for Adrian and Anna’s wedding, I was able to spend a few days with some family members on the Oregon Coast! Here are a few fun silhouette shots we got at a sunset near Manzanita, Oregon.

On June 27th, I had the pleasure of flying out to Salem, Oregon, to shoot the amazing Adrian and Anna’s wedding! It was a beautiful day, and I really enjoyed being there! I had an absolute blast in Oregon, and I attached a vacation to the trip!  I’ll be posting shots from my vacation over the next few weeks, but first things first! Here are a few shots from Adrian and Anna’s amazing wedding!

Sadly, due to what can only be referred to as “issues” at the salon doing the girls hair, they didn’t show up to the park where we got lots of great pictures of the guys. It’s too bad we didn’t get some pictures of the bridesmaids near the rose gardens, but what can you do? The girls looked gorgeous though!

The couple had arranged for some traditional Mexican dances to be done. There were several, but this one was my favorite! I wish I could remember what it was called! I slowed the shutter speed way down to get some blur to show off their fast spins and quick movements. I really like this shot.

This was a fun moment too. Adrian’s brothers wrote songs to sing for the newlyweds, and performed them at the dance.

Did I mention Adrian is a great dancer! I had to speed my shutter way back up because he was spinning Anna so fast!

I caught this image May 22, 2009, on the trip to Jonathan and Ra Sheeda’s Wedding. I was driving east down the Interstate, and happened to look in my side mirror and saw a gorgeous sunset, complete with rays of light. I decided to stop at the next exit and try to get a picture of it, but started getting nervous because mile after mile was going by and there was no exits! I think 11 miles later, I finally found an exit, pulled off, found this beautiful scene! I think the rays of light were even more powerful a few minutes before, but I was still thrilled to finally get a shot like this! I hope you like!

Here are the rest of the pictures from Jonathan and Ra Sheeda’s wedding!

I just got back today from shooting my very first wedding as the primary photographer! I have second shot several times before, but I learned on Saturday that it is a lot more work being the primary! I am very excited too, though, because I am very happy with the pictures I came back with!

Jonathan and Ra Sheeda were wonderful to work with! Jonathan looked great, and Ra Sheeda was absolutely stunning! She was so calm and collected! I have lots of pictures left to edit, but I was so excited about this wedding I had to put up a few quick shots as a preview!

Spring is here! After a long and brutal winter, and then a long and brutal flood season, the river is down and the temperature is up! It hit 80 degrees today! I drove to a new park over in West Fargo, Rendezvous Park. I thought maybe I could get a picture of the sunset. As far as recreating, the park is nice. Lots of open space to run and walk! It could sure use a few more trees, but what brand new park in North Dakota couldn’t? hehe! There wasn’t a whole lot of photo ops, but I got a few shots of the sunset I like! Basically my shutter-finger was itchy after a long winter and I had to give it some exercise! I hope you like them!
