I’m heading off to NY this weekend, but didn’t want to leave you guys with nothing to look at on this fine Friday :)  I’m wrapping up the edits on a few sessions and will getting those up very soon!  Here’s a little tease of the awesome weddings that are about to hit the blog relatively soon (because we all love teases ;)):

Tracey and Jojee’s Modern Wedding

Ann and Jim’s Modern Wedding

Raina and Libu’s Modern Wedding

I’ve also realized that I’ve been pretty bad about keeping up to date with some personal posts as well, so I’ll also have an update with my anniversary weekend images, my new car, and obviously this NY trip.  So keep a lookout :)  Happy Weekend!

As I was editing my last shoot, I figured it might be fun to give you all a little behind-the-scenes glimpse into how I prep my files. Since I retouch my images, there’s a lot more time involved than just shooting the day-of. This is a very quick overview of mainly just some edits (as there’s obviously back-ups, uploading images, presentation, etc. that isn’t in the clip).
I think the bigger reason for me to do this was because I love jumping back to my video roots to give me another creative push. It’s been almost 5 years since I’ve done any real video work, so I like jumping back in when I get a chance as a separate outlet for creativity. Hope you guys enjoy this! Let me know what you think in the comments below, and if you’d like to see more like this or any other types of video. Take care!

Couldn’t have asked for a better way to end off the 2009 wedding season.  Susie and Shawn rocked it out this past weekend in Michigan, and I was a lucky enough to be by their side throughout the day!
