Annette & Dan Trash the Dress Shoot.....

So I got to do my first trash the dress shoot of the 2009 season and it turned out great if you ask me.... Annette and Dan were great sports! Thanks god the lake was warm.... I know I was shooting in water up to my neck for most of these shots and it felt great!

I wish I could talk every couple into doing one of these shoots.... They are sooooooo much fun and your wedding pics will be like no one elses.... Every day on the lake is different in it's own special way.... maybe the it's the clouds, maybe the sun, maybe the colors in the sky or the waves on the lake....
Ok, as always, you can see the whole set on my website at http://www.t1photo.com/ hope you enjoy!

California Vacation.....

Ok, so it has been a little crazy since the LA trip.... Sorry I haven't posted in a while.... Hopefully some of the cool pictures I shot while out there will make up for it! Hope you enjoy them!

This first image is from a place many people may know, but have never heard of before, there

have been over 100 movies filmed in these rocks, one which was a household name when I was a kid.... "The Planet of the Apes" Pretty cool huh! Yeah, it's is like no other place I have ever seen before that's for sure.... It's called Vasquez Rocks and if you're ever in Southern Cali, it's worth checking out....

The second image is from Angeles National Forest at the very top of the mountain, it's actually right next to the LA Fire Suppression Camp which was really cool the next day when we got to see these guys in action driving up the 405 when there were fighting a fire! Did I get a picture? Heck yeah I did! My sister also informed me I could probably go to jail for shooting while driving in the rush our traffic out there.... Nice!

It was amazing to see these guys in action, all the respect in the world for the job these people do.... If you look close on the left hand side of this image, you can even see the firemen on the ground....


Ok, so that's all for now, I will post some more of the fun pics from Venice in the next blog! Won't be so long this time.....

Rebecca & Taylor E Shoot....

Man have I been lucky with the weather lately.... what looked like a wash out again yesterday held off to allow me to have yet another incredible engagement shoot.... This time with Rebecca & Taylor. Very much looking forward to their wedding, they are a great couple and we had a blast walking around Chardon Square shooting.... Think we got some really good images! EnjoyTaylor's parents have a beautiful home and I had to show off the incredible architecture in a few shots around the house before we headed up town....

I saw this wall next to the police station on my way into town and thought it would be a cool back drop... then I came to find out from Taylor's mom that it was painted by some friends of hers in 1974! Wow, now that is cool! I think it worked perfect for a back drop!

Thanks again for a great time shooting yesterday guys! Hope everyone has a safe and fun Holiday weekend! As always, you can the rest of the shoot on my main site.... T1 out!

Michelle & Jeff Wedding.....

Soooooooooo sorry for the lack of posts on here lately.... June has been a very busy month and as of last week, I shot 3 weddings in just over one week! Happy to say however that images from all three weddings have been delivered to the clients and they all loved them! So with all my excuses out of the way, I will now share with you some of my favs from the first wedding that took place in Medina, Ohio at the beautiful Williams on the Lake.... Hope you enjoy!


Some amazing natural light coming through a sky light above the bride, Matthew the Video guy for Beach Boyz Entertainment first noticed it and we were lucky enough to get the bride out of the dressing room and under it for a nice series of shots before it went away.... Nice work Matthew....

Down town Medina also made for some really cool street shooting opportunities and we had a great time doing it. Plus, Jeff and Michelle did things a little different and we went out on our shoot before hand which allowed for a very nice, relaxed shoot. You guys were troopers in that heat!

If you would like to see more of this shoot please visit www.t1photo.com and go to the event galleries.... Then just look for Michelle and Jeff!
