Weddings & Couples

Elly & Steve

I was thinking about doing a cheesey airplane joke here, but I'll pass. 

Elly and Steve are both pilots for a shipping/freight airline.  The theme of the wedding was then naturally all about planes.  It took place on Hamilton mountain at the Warplane Heritage Museum, which is right across the street from where they work (if I understood correctly).  This definitely made for some unique shots, and it was very cool to be able to get into the hanger where a few planes were being painted.  Lots of nice detail in those shots

 

We got alot of great comments about the wedding pictures, and what we got from you blew the doors off what we had taken by family and friends. There were many unique shots around the airplanes and in the hanger that had cool effects. Some of the lighting was very challenging but you sure made it work.

If we have any friends or family that are getting married, we’ll make sure to send them to you. Thanks again very much.

Another great highlight was being able to go out on the tarmac and stick Elly right up on one of the engine cowlings.  I'm surprised this was allowed, but I guess when you work there, and everyone is "on board" (had to), its not such a big deal.

This was another short day.... only 3 hrs... but still lots of great shots were crammed into that short time.  Here are some of my favs...


Christina & Ivan

Christina and Ivan are friends of ours (my wife and I, actually Christina and her work together).  They came to our wedding in Mexico last year, so I was happy to be a part of theirs.

 

“Thanks, Aaron, for capturing our wedding with such creativity and authenticity! We’re looking for someone like you because first and foremost, you are an awesome artist! You shared our vision right away and made it a reality! Your blog photos are amazing and the USB photos are fabulous! Thanks so much for everything, you truly made us feel comfortable on such a big day!”

This was a quick day; only 4 hrs of shooting, and lots of time spent sitting in traffic downtown.  For such a short day though, we seemed to hit lots of locations, which made for some great shots.  It also helps when working with friends, as then I can be more myself, and not worry so much about having to make a good impression... cause they already know Im great :P  It was also fun to hang out with Ivan for the day, as we are pretty similar people it seems, sharing lots of outlooks on things.   I think I need one of those I ♥ Ivan shirts, too.

I did alot more color pictures for this wedding.  I feel I had somewhat of a break-through regarding color processing, but it seems all my favorites below are still mostly black and whites.  No problem though... Im still happy with all these shots.


Amanda & Steve

The last hurrah for the 2012 wedding season.  A beautiful fall day to wrap up the season.  Even though it was mid November, it was still a warm, sunny day.

This wedding came about for me in a bit of an odd way.  I was hired as a gift to Amanda and Steve by a friend of theirs (and a friend of mine).  I think thats a pretty great gift!  Its the gift of life-long memories.  

I was only there for a couple quick hours, but still captured alot of great moments.  Here are a few of my favorite shots...

Krissy & Don

My little sister got married!  It was a great day, and all their hard work and planning realy paid off.  They certainly did take care of every detail, and it showed.  Initially, she hired another girl to take pictures, saying she wanted me there as family and not photographer, and didnt want me to feel obligated to work on her wedding day, but rather be there and just enjoy it.  I told her I was more than happy to bring my camera, and give her a second set of photos as my gift to them.  Im glad I did.  They are a great couple to shoot, and the locations they chose were perfect for a sunny, fall day.  And to top it all off, what other wedding has wedding rings delivered by dog!?  Now I've seen everything... or at least, something new!

When I started editing these shots the other day, as usual, I only intended to put up 20 or so of my favorites.  Perhaps it was because it was family, but I seemed to have ended up with many more this time around.  There just seemed to be so many great moments captured that day!  Enjoy...

PS. My wife did Krissy's hair.  If you need a great hair stylist, go say hello to her...
