I like panoramas. They capture a little extra environment and it's nice sometimes to step outside of the typical photo dimensions. Typically I take in between 3-5 full size shots and stitch them together as a composite (however, there is one below taken with a wide angle, and one with an iPhone). Here are a few from last year's weddings and engagements. Click on them for a larger version!
My clients are beautiful. I love them. And when you get married, in my personal and professional opinion, you need to print up your pictures, and even better get an album to preserve those moments for your lifetime. I use Kiss Wedding Books. Not only do they look smashing with your photographs in them, but they are simple, beautiful, and timeless, which is right in line with my whole philosophy. Clients may purchase them at any time in different sizes, colors, linen or leather. Get the photos off your computer, touch them with your fingers, and show them off in real life.
It's now Christmas Eve, my birthday. How best do I celebrate being old? Well, it's the fact that 2010 was a really great year. Here is a small handful of images I made this year that make me proud. Each of these represent a moment that means a great deal to me personally and photographically. I'm so excited for 2011. Like, ridiculously excited.
However, I should say that my favorite pictures have to be of these two. They make me smile forever.
To be asked to photograph a wedding is an honor. To be asked to help photograph a wedding in India is an experience that is beyond description. It's one of those experiences where even photography falls short. Thank you to Ashley for having me along. To Raj & Karishma, I cannot thank you and your families enough for the incredible love and hospitality you showed us. I'm grateful to be a photographer. Enter a 5 day, insanely-rad, Hindu wedding, beginning in Vadodara and ending in Meerut (just north of Dehli). We traveled by plane, train, auto-rickshaw, regular-rickshaw, and taxi. Raj got the horse though, cause he's the one who got married. Shot with digital and Fuji Pro400H film.
