I absolutely loved working with Liz and James!  They are such a fun couple and I think they made me laugh more than I made them laugh!  I can’t wait for their intimate wedding in June!!

I have been working a few rolls of film into my sessions lately and the photos above are a few of my favorites from Liz and James’s session.  Like a lot of the photographers out there… I see the difference in the photos and I see a difference in what/how I shoot with it.  The photos have a depth and artistic feel to them that can’t be matched by a digital camera.  I love the colors film creates and the watercolor background.  I also love the proportions of the Contax.  Sometimes with my Canon 5D I find myself having a hard time filling the frame with the type of composition I want… and the Contax is perfect!! Most of all, I love what it does to me as a photographer and artist.  I love the Contax 645, and Fuji film, and hope to keep it as part of my process from here on out!

On day two of the Jose Villa Workshop we walked around the golden hills of Solvang, California to shoot an engagement session with a really fun and newly engaged couple… Ashley and Tyman.  Ashley works with the popular wedding blog “inspired by this” and Tyman, well… he is a romantic!  He had one of the most unique, fun and romantic proposals I have ever heard/seen.  He told us all about it on the car ride to our location and then a few months later they posted a video of it to the “inspired by this” blog, you can see it here.  Below are a few of my images taken alongside the amazing Jose Villa.
