Leather Craftsmen | 10x10 Rustic Black Coffee Table Album

For a while now I've been wanting to post some pictures of the ultra fab Leather Craftsmen Coffee Table Books! I started using LC earlier this year and have been nothing but super impressed! These are high quality albums made with the best materials and it definitely shows! Here are a few shots of my sample album!

This little guy is a 6x6 Photobook by Zookbinders with which I've also been very impressed! Designed as more of a companion album to his big brother, these Photobooks have the same page layouts as the primery album and work well as a gift for parents and grandparents!

This was so cool! James' sister is overseas and couldn't make it to the wedding, so James brother set up a laptop at the reception so they could Skype! That's awesome!

Jenny's sister, the Maid of Honor, gave a hilarious toast full of stories of Jenny's early crush on James! So funny!

Photographers Check This Out...Free Stuff!

The Photography industry is changing at a rapid pace and one of the greatest ways it is changing is with what could be described as a "Learn and Share" mentality! Gone are the days that you learn of an opportunity or new technique and keep it all to yourself! The photography community at large is becoming, mostly thanks to technologies such as blogs and online forums and "virtual" communities" online, much more open and friendly to sharing information! I have enjoyed tremendously this benefit in reading many blogs and learning a wealth of information from other photographers just by sitting at my desk!

This is something that I want to be a part of! As I learn things I want to also be sharing things! It's the "I want to be a river not a lake" mentality, if you will! Therefore, I hope to make semi-frequent posts about different things that I am learning about photography. There are others who are WAY further down the road than I am whom I constantly seek to be learning from; and on the flip side, there are others who are not as far along in their journey who may be able to benefit from things that I have learned! This is my hope at least!

With that being said, one of the many photographers I follow is David Jay. If you haven't heard of David Jay, you should check him out here, anyways he has a link posted about a free Audio book called Free by Chris Anderson. You can watch a great video by DJ about how the book can be beneficial in the photography industry as well as download the book and put it on your iphone/ipod! Great free resource!

Louisville Wedding Photography | Lee & Melissa

Things just keep on truckin! This past Saturday I had the opportunity to shoot Lee and Melissa's wedding at Clifton Baptist Church here in town. It was a perfect day for a wedding with weather in the low 80's, which happens to be my sweet spot! It was such a great wedding, especially because I know Lee and Melissa as well as several in the wedding party! I as actually Lee's RL (RA to most) in college, and the coolest part about it was that I remember Lee coming to me and telling me his thoughts about possibly asking melissa out! I'm glad I encouraged him! :) I've enjoyed watching their relationship grow and I was honored when they asked me to shoot their wedding! Here are a few of my favorite moments from their day!
