First Birthdays

First Birthdays are a ton of fun. I’ve had the opportunity to enjoy 2 recently and wanted to share some of my favorite photos:

Wedding :: Mike & Libby :: Buffalo NY

We went to a friend’s wedding last fall and while I was drinking a little too heavily to get many shots that weren’t a blurry mess I got lucky and grabbed a few I like. The one on the left is one of the last pictures of the night I believe. Long after the photographers left and just before they were shuttin down the place (you know it’s a good party when they have to kick you out so they can close). I love getting these shots, the last of the night. I’m not sure why but I’ll think about it and get back to you.

Also, a slideshow of some of the other photos from the night:

Wedding :: Slideshow :: MaryBeth & Mike :: Rochester NY

finally got around to putting together a slideshow of Mike and MaryBeth’s wedding. Enjoy.

Wedding :: MaryBeth & Mike :: Rochester NY

Saturday Mary Beth became a Cuomo.  It was an exciting day for everyone!  Mike and Mary Beth really make a beautiful couple don’t you think?

I ran 3rd string Photographer, after clearing it with them & the hired photographer first, just to get some practice in.  There’s still a lot I didn’t do, but I must say I’m becoming quite comfortable with my equipment and the whole process.

I shot almost 1,400 photos on Saturday and it was my first time shooting an entire day in RAW.  Wow! I finally filled up my memory card… (16gb), I need to get some extras.  Because it was my first time shooting in RAW, it’s taking me a lot longer than usual to process the photos. I didn’t even have any software to do it before yesterday!  Now I’m all setup with Adobe Photoshop CS4 & Adobe CS4 Bridge and holy cow these things are powerhouses!

I’ll be throwing together a slide-show soon, but since I’m not sure how long it’s going to take I wanted to post this last picture of the night.

Congratulations Mike & Mary Beth!

Wedding :: Laurie & Keith :: Sodus NY

My Sister Laurie and Keith (Norman Eller) were married on July 4th.  I’ve been a bit busy since we got back from our 3 week escape from reality and I finally got the chance to throw together a slideshow.  The wedding was a blast!
