Happy Labor Day to all of my fellow Americans. It has definitely been an eventful week for myself. Here are a few things going on and then a few more images from Liz and Wayne’s awesome wedding!
-I’m stoked to have someone as good looking as Sarah Palin in politics, old Ted Kennedy just doesn’t have it anymore.
-I just got my itinerary for my trip to NYC next month to shoot an engagement session! I’m super stoked about that.
-I met with an awesome couple getting married in Tahoe next year and they are BOTH taller than me (I’m like 5’11″, not short by any means)! We haven’t booked yet, but I’m hoping they do so I can buy a nifty step-stool to shoot from!
-I shot at the amazing Martis Camp in Truckee, CA where Jose Feliciano sang and absolutely ripped it! He is seriously talented on the guitar and probably one of the most underrated guys out there! So humble and so nice! I’ll post some shots this week.
-I just got back from the California State Fair and had a great time except for the little deer in the petting zoo that tried to chew my camera strap. Wallabies are pretty cool characters, goats are punks. Also, that place was like a fashion show. More D&G, Ed Hardy, Juicy and whatnot. I guess I’m guilty too for wearing my Ed hat.Oh yeah, the Chinese Acrobats were amazing. Wow, I want to go do some flips in the backyard now!

On to the main topic. I love the artistic embellishment that we photographer’s have affectionately termed “lens flare.” It is so sweet! Every lens has a signature flare to it. From the reds of my 50 1.4 to the aquas of my 70-200, I love it. I love the flare especially when shooting a beautiful couple such as Liz and Wayne. The flare is almost symbolic of the love that is in the air! It’s just something that looks surreal. Anyhow, technically shooting into the sun can be a pain, but the results are waaaay worth it. Enjoy the images and leave some comments below, just for fun!
