Star Telegram Bridal Show

Yesterday I had the opportunity to be an exhibitor at the Star Telegram Bridal Show at the Gaylord Hotel in Grapevine. It was a lot fun and I met a bunch of people.

Here's a photo of one of my tables.
Here's a photo of my 10x10 booth.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by and to Sabrina for helping me.

Shawn & Reagan Wedding Video

I finally finished Shawn and Reagan's wedding video. I've already posted the stills, but at this wedding I used three different cameras to photograph and video the days events. It was a challenge doing both but I think the results came out. I love how sparklers look on video.

The chapel they were married at, Aristide, had great lights for dancing which you can see on the beginning and end of the video.

Thanks to Shawn, Reagan and your family and friends.





For the video I used the following gear:
Canon 5DMkII
Canon 7D
Canon 60D
A bag full of Canon L lenses.
I produced it using Final Cut and colored with Magic Bullet Looks
This is a great song from Airborne Toxic Event, Half of Something Else.

A picture within picture...

Usually I don't post photos of myself because I'm the one taking them. But at Shawn and Reagan's wedding this past weekend my friend Kelly took this photo right as I was taking the one below. Kind of cool to show the behind the scenes and the result together.

A few months ago I bought Pocket Wizards and they have improved the way I light my photographs. They are wireless, radio triggers and they never fail. I have the one on the right shooting through the umbrella and the one on the left shooting through a Light Sphere. When I first got serious about commercial shooting I wondered how photographers achieved such clear photos. I figured it was through buying expensive lenses and cameras. I can't deny it helps (I'm shooting with a Canon 5DMKII and Canon 24-70f2.8), but great photos come from great lighting.

Reagan & Shawn

This past Friday night I photographed Reagan and Shawn's wedding in Mansfield, TX. It was a fun night.

I saw these shoes at the bridal shoot, cool.







His grandpa was cool.





I always like these during the exit. Makes cool light and smoke.
Congrats. Thanks again for choosing me as your photographer.

Thanks,
Brian
