Published – The Knot Magazine – Jamie & Ethan

Right about now is a good time to imagine me dancing around my office doing The Robot. It’s actually happened three times. First, when I found out I would be published in Professional Photographer Magazine. The second time was when I got a call from TheKnot.com asking for photos to feature in The Knot Magazine. And most recently was just about five minutes ago when I got a email from The Knot with images of the final feature. The robot dance may have been to the Beastie Boys “Intergalactic” and it may have lasted for five minutes. I’m not saying it did; I’m just sayin’.

Many thanks to Gina from Shi Shi Events for planning such an amazing wedding and working with TheKnot.com. Also, thanks to the fine people at Plantscaping for providing the amazing floral arrangements designed just for Ethan and Jamie.

The issue is hitting news stands now (going to get mine today), but you can see the feature article below. The featured wedding was for Jamie and Ethan, two of my favorite people. They had such an amazing and beautiful wedding. Elsewhere on the site, you can also see some more of Jamie & Ethan’s wedding photos. Looking forward, this year’s weddings are off to a great start with some amazing results. I’m certain many more magazine and blog features will be in our future.

Jamie & Ethan – Cleveland wedding

Note for friends and family – the full gallery of images is available!

Have you ever had a day where everything seems to go your way? I had one not too long ago. Ethan and Jamie were recommended to me by a fellow photographer. That was a good start. Then the Ethan and Jamie hired me to photograph their Cleveland wedding. OK, getting better. Then they gave me complete creative freedom! I nearly had a creative orgasm on the spot.

You might remember that Ethan and Jamie are a creative couple. After all, they created an amazing wedding announcement. Not only that, they are both have a sense for photography and knew what they wanted. Lastly, they really liked my native style and gave me freedom in my work.

So what did I do? First, I incorporated Polaroids in the form of a 1970’s SX-70 instant camera (more on the Polaroids in a future post). Next, I bought new lenses for my digital system so I could create the look I had in mind. Finally, I worked hard to push my creative style in new directions.

I have said it before and I will say it again – I LOVE my clients! Here are some early results –

This next photograph is one of my all time favorites. I think it might make the cut for the wedding portfolio –

Great idea – serve a midnight snack at your wedding reception. Jenny’s Ice Cream is a great choice.

As always, big thanks to Michael Kalbo for great second photographer work.

That is all for now. As I mentioned, another post is coming that will have the Polaroids from the wedding. It is definitely worth checking back for those.

{Update – polaroid post is here}

P.S. – Ethan’s brother, Jeremiah, kept me in stitches all day

P.P.S. – Jamie and Ethan, have a great honeymoon in Kenya (lucky!)

P.P.P.S. – Last one. Did I mention we’re having a BBQ and y’all are invited?
