Jo & Ryan - Reception Video

We had a complete blast shooting this couple's wedding. They were just super fun and really great to work with. Something we did different, and actually really liked, was that they shot their couple photos weeks before the wedding, so we were able to create a reception video for them days prior to the actual event. That was really nice and to be honest, a bit less stressful the day of. A definite fav! Best wishes to these two crazy love birds!

Tyrant Collection

Months ago we were contacted by AmyLynn Studios to shoot a collaborative video, but for one reason or another it kept getting pushed back until finally we had a great opportunity to work together. Amy was doing a photo shoot for a jewelry company called Tyrant Collection and so she asked us to come and film a little promo piece. This is what we created. Enjoy!

Sixth Row

We met Brooke, co-owner of Sixth Row, a few weeks ago after she saw the video we did for Tyrant Collection. They asked us last minute to do this event and we were totally down. Events like this are so fun to shoot... and edit for that matter. Anyhow, we had a great time working with both Brooke and Jen, as well as the other girls who had brought their goods to be checked out. Great stuff... my only regret... not buying anything!!!! Check out www.SixthRow.com... those girls can dress... for reals yo.

Milda & Matvey - Ceremony Highlight

I was really pleased with this ceremony highlight we put together so I thought I would share. Hope you like.

Traci & Jesse

This was a fun opportunity. We just did a highlight video for these two. Fun stuff and a fast edit! Thanks Traci & Jesse for letting us be a part of your big day!

Alice In Wonderland - Wheeler Farm, Murray, UT

A few weeks ago Jon's brother got married, their theme: Alice in Wonderland. We had purchased some props for the dessert table at the rehearsal dinner, so after we got home we wanted to put them to some good use... hence our Alice in Wonderland photo shoot. The hair was done by Gorana Majstorovic. A young hair and make up artist in Salt Lake City who's totally amazing! She also did the hair and makeup for our Run Away Bride photo shoot. The model, Jordan, did an amazing job as well and we were grateful that she was so down for this crazy little shoot! And last but not least, the rabbit, Olive, who is actually up for adoption at the Humane Society in Murray, UT. He's so sweet! He was a little worried about being in an unfamiliar place but we got to take him home and by the next morning he was totally fearless and ready to explore! So thank you to Carl Arky of the Humane Society of Utah, for allowing us the opportunity to work with this sweet little guy, and thanks to everyone else who helped out (including our brother-in-law Ryan for taking care of Olive during the shoot).

Okay, so I don't know if you've ever been to Wheeler Farm but there's like everything there. We actually want to do another shoot there in the future. Anyhow, we didn't want to tire Olive out so we wrapped him up and started doing some just random fun stuff around the farm. There were a ton of cute photos but these are the ones we selected for the blog. I love the water stuff. We had a ton but mine was a little more grainy than Jon's so we only posted his. But I think I want to do another shoot in water. It was just so stinking fun!

A Portrait of an Artist... and his process

Jon and I have been working on a very exciting project. We came up with the idea one day after we had moved to Utah. We were lingering around Barnes & Noble, passing the time when I came across an autobiography on a couple who were total hippies back-in-the-day. They talked about how they lived their lives, how they fell in love, how they created, and so on. I was totally inspired, not just by film or photography but by the arts as a whole. I told Jon that I wanted to do a documentary on an artist... and as we hadn't done any filmmaking since Humidity, just four months prior, we thought it was the perfect time.

Luckily a few months before my sister had introduced us to her good friends, Jeff and Jen Hein. Jeff is and artist of amazing talent. When we met with him again after the Barnes & Noble trip, we pitched him the idea and he thought it sounded like a great experience. It was really perfect timing too because he had just started a very difficult project that would utilize his process to the fullest. This documentary will follow Jeff from start to finish of the painting. We will see his process of studying, creating and recreating in the effort to fully understand the subjects for his final masterpiece. As so many artists photograph their subjects and recreate it in a painting, Jeff's process of working from live subjects is really unique, it's like the lost art behind the art... it's very interesting!

We've been working on it about a month now, and it's looking great. We still do have quite a long way to go though. I've been working on a teaser to get it going. I should have it finished in the next few weeks. I would love to have it sooner but we have a number of projects going on right now. Anyhow, keep an eye out for it and thanks for reading.

Runaway Bride - Downtown Salt Lake City, UT

Our first major photo shoot in Salt Lake City, UT. We had a really great time and are really excited to do more!!!! Let me know what you think... I love me some comments. :)

Family Photos at the Beach

We took a family vacation to the Oregon Coast a few weeks ago. Beverly Beach was beautiful and had a great camp ground! Anyhow, these are some pictures we captured of the location as well as my siblings and their families.

Mine being Erika's, not Jon's... I guess... Jon's in-laws and their families.
