Scott & Erin

Scott and Erin both live in Oregon, but came down here for their wedding last month. I love small weddings like this one! Everyone had time to interact, and by the end, I felt like I was part of the family too.

Scott and Erin, thanks for being so flexible and fun to work with! I wish you the best as you spend your first holiday season as husband and wife, and get ready to welcome your newest family member!

The Dread Pirate Roberts

Here’s another one from last month. Ben went to a costume party as The Dread Pirate Roberts, and bought an incredible sword to complete the disguise. We took a few shots to show everyone who wasn’t able to see it themselves.

…He’s not left-handed either.

Coram Deo

I first met these guys at a winter camp in January, and they’re significantly cooler than I was at their age. But they’re too nice to rub it in. They’re in a Christian emo band called Coram Deo (literally: “Before the face of God”). They’d asked me to shoot a couple of their concerts before I actually made it to this one…

Austin, Eric, James, Jake, and Alex: thanks for asking me to come shoot your show. I greatly respect your musical talent and the boldness of your faith. You guys rock!
