Karlie & Ben

Earlier this month I had the honor of making some photographs of Ben & Karlie to help celebrate their engagement. I was pretty excited when they were into the idea of me shooting it all on film. I shot some polaroids & about 10 rolls of 35mm including some slide film. I got the film back last week and was thrilled with the outcome.

Congratulations you guys! <3

I have also been photographing weddings with my friend, Rachel.
You can see our work here.

Andrew & Lexi.

A couple weeks ago my darling friend, Rachel, and I had the honor of photographing Andrew and Lexi's wedding. Photographing weddings with Rachel gives me the freedom to focus more on film while she shoots digital and that makes weddings much more enjoyable for me! Here are a few of my favorite shots:

They are such a sweet couple!
Beautiful wedding and beautiful people.

You can see more of my wedding work here.. <3

Currently.

I guess it is my turn for a life update. Over the past couple months I have been focusing most of my energy on my photography. I am currently gathering together ideas & shooting for three different series that I plan on submitting to galleries, as well as planning a trip out west this summer to photograph the redwoods & the coast. I am selling a few select prints in editions of 24 each to help raise funds for these endeavors as well as a new 35mm film camera. If anyone is interested you can check out my print shop.
I'm pretty excited about this coming year & my work. Photography is the only thing I know for certain. As dramatic as this might sounds, I really don't know what I would do if it wasn't such a important part of my life.
Current work:

Thank you all for your support & I sincerely hope that you enjoy my photographs. 

I will be blogging about a super cute wedding that I shot in film very soon so stay tuned!

Also I wanted to share this little feature that Jackie Farrow did on my portrait work: 

Mystic Groove

Oh and I almost forgot...

We saw refused play a small club in Brooklyn last month...
it was hands down the best live show I have ever seen. I only wish I had my camera with me.

How was your July?
