Melanie and Kirt // 2.14.09

This past Valentine's Day I had the opportunity to shoot an incredible wedding for an awesome couple. If you remember correctly the week prior to that Saturday was terribly rainy and cloudy...not prime for a rooftop wedding at the beach. We ended up having fantastic weather and a great time shooting together. Melanie and Kirt were a lot of fun to hang out with the whole day. Not only was it a gorgeous wedding but they had wonderful company to top it off, everyone there was great. I'd be lucky to get to shoot 10 more weddings just like it.

Here are just a select few from the beautiful day...

Last weekend I went and snapped some shots of mister Daley Hake, thee photog, and his wonderful fam. It was a bit of collaboration as Daley schooled me in his use of lighting which gives a whole different feel to photos, as you'll see in the diff between the two below...very cool. The fam was a lot of fun to hang out with along with a close family friend whose friendship came out of unusual circumstances. I recommend you go read Cyndi's blog from beginning to current...she's an amazing woman.
