Album: Raechel + Josh

I received Raechel ad Josh’s album a week and a half ago, so it’s time for some pics!  Their album is a rich brown leather 12″x 12″ with 58 pages.  It is a flushmount album with a ‘timeless’ design and is a nice big 12″ x 24″ when open!  Pics and more info below…

Their album comes with this baroque inspired cloth cover…

It does a great job protecting it from dust and scratches and it slides in and out easily.

The leather is soft and supple and outright gorgeous!

album_03

The pages are nice with a perfect 2mm thickness.

album_08

When open, the album lays perfectly flat making viewing a breeze.

The spreads are a full image, so there is no traditional gutter giving the one foot by two foot spreads even more impact!

album_06

The album has rounded corners with the pages remaining square.

Here’s a couple of the spreads to show you how gorgeous both black and white and color images are!

iTunes is silly…

Kassy brought home some CD’s to upload onto my computer and I put in a Foo Fighters CD and Gracenote was confused.  Not sure if it was in fact Foo Fighters or Michael Bolton.  Where are the similarities there?  Silly iTunes!

Wedding: Annie + Jon

Back in October, I shot another fabulous wedding with my friend Nicole.  It was a perfect autumn day and you know what that means….great light!  Annie and Jon opted for a first sight which is always nice and gives more time to get some great images.  The first sight took place on Independence Lake and in my opinion couldn’t have been better.  The ceremony was held and the adorable Webster Church located in Dexter and the reception was at the ritzy Gandy Dancer in Ann Arbor.  I had a great time with Nicole, Annie, Jon and the bridal party!

 

Boys will be boys!

Melinda + MOOD!

This summer, I tagged along with my buddy Nicole to photograph one of her brides from this past summer.  I posted two versions of one of the pics on my blog back then and haven’t really looked at them since.  Today, I was looking for a file and I stumbled across this one.  This image was taken as a test, to check my metering for the sky to make sure it is what I wanted.  I then turned on my flash to illuminate Melinda.  With this one, I thought it could use a little dreamy, moodiness, so this is what it turned out like.  What do you think?
