pinhole portrait, pinhole weddings and lightning

My friend Kristian…. Italian male model, t-shirt designer, pet lover, super sweet, absolutely crazy… Took this pinhole portrait in Scottsdale Park, not really sure what the name of the park is, but I like to call it Scottsdale Park. You know, where the museum is and the Love Sculpture.

Weekend went by to fast. On Friday evening I had a tutorial on how to write a perfect press release. I’m going to test my new found knowledge out today! I also confirmed the exhibit at the Pie Braggs Factory for October!

On Saturday we photographed the wedding of Jessica and Diondre Travis. They planned their wedding in two weeks and it was fantastic! (more people should plan their wedding in two weeks) They were a gorgeous couple and had a gorgeous two year old daughter. I enjoyed both of their families and the highlight of the evening was watching them dance. I’m not sure where people learn to move like that… but WOW!

I love that Gary and I get to photograph weddings all the time. I couldn’t imagine doing anything besides photography. We get to photograph people’s celebrations and parties! We get to photograph family reunions, friends laughing and new beginnings. What could be better than that?

On Sunday, Gary and I both pretty much slept the whole day… then ventured out to photograph lightning in the evening. We were out for 4 hours coming home empty handed. BUT! We did use our fantastic iphone gps to take the back roads to a small town called, Florence, Arizona. Gary wanted to photograph their clock tower and we hung out for a while waiting for the storm to arrive. It never did. So we headed further east to Superior, it looked promising, sudden bursts of light flashed across the sky… but no bolts of lightening. Sadly, we headed home.
