Kansas City Plaza

So, it's not all about work here, I like to have fun too! I was invited by some local photographers to a Friday night shootout at the Kansas City Plaza, and since I just acquired my new fancy camera that is supposedly very capable in low light situations, I was very excited to take it for a test drive!

We walked around for a few blocks, traded techniques, and laughed a lot. Below is what I got from the night, enjoy!

Wedding: Jen + Jerod

Wow, look at that, new post when I just posted yesterday! Told you I have been busy... :)

So, after just having gotten the 24-70L, I was eager to use it. My friend Jim called me up and asked if I want to come second shoot with him, since he was passing a kidney stone and probably will need help. Being the good friend I am (ha ha) I agreed to come along.

We shot at the Overland Park Arboretum in Kansas. Beautiful place! And a popular photography place too, saw like 2 other photographers by just walking around the place once! Anyways, we had direct sun most of the time, so the lighting isn't ideal, but the wedding was beautiful and Jen has one of the best dress design to me. I love red/black/white color combos. (Please book me if those are your wedding colors!)

So, for this wedding, I was armed with my 70-200mm f/2.8L IS on the XSi, and the 24-70mm f/2.8L on the 1D Mark II.

(Sorry about the small images~)

Perfect Wedding Guide Expo

Hi guys and girls, I have been busy with wedding stuff, but mainly getting more gigs and other wedding related stuff, so haven't posted any photos in a while. I went to the wedding expo put up by the Perfect Wedding Guide as an Associate Photographer for Sara Tafoya Photography, and I think it went well! Here are some shots I got while they were having a fashion show.

These were straight out of the camera shots from my 5D Mark II that I just got (yay) and the 24-70L. We were too far away, so these are crops from the amazing 21MP images!

















Cake Shot! It was huge!
