confession

By | Personal | 2 Comments

first and foremost, sally and andrew’s gallery is up on the website!

welcome to my world:

i love to cook. this was going to come out at some point, so here it is. now, you’re might be wondering, why is this a “confession” to admit? <- is not the confession, this is -> i waste more time than anyone i know looking at recipes online. i decide on a main ingredient, google it, click every link on the results page and read them all. from there i regoogle, reclick, and read again. i then combine around 4 recipes, and make up my own. at this point my confession gets worse, and my cheeks (which i really hate to call attention to) get pinker. there is a bit of an unspoken rule at our dinner table, after one bite matt has to say if he loves it or likes it (he never dislikes anything, thank goodness!). this splits us two ways: 1. he likes it, i exclaim, ‘i made it up!’ 2. he pauses, i exclaim, ‘i based this on someone else’s recipe!’ what this says about me, i don’t know, but i feel much better with it out in the open…

in other news, i’m excited to meet my friend bonnie in person this weekend, haha! since they first decided we were shooting their wedding, bonnie and i sent tons of messages and i really do forget sometimes we’ve never met! i love that though, we will all be relaxed and comfortable shooting this weekend. bonnie’s older sister, becky and i keep in touch as well (she actually referred us to bonnie), she described bonnie to me as ‘martha stewart’ so now i think that maybe i should delete my previous paragraph…but i think she’ll understand. anyway, check back for some engagement pics soon!

sometimes, i post

hey guys! (it’s matt). with kate up here posting like crazy i figure it’s about time for me to make my 2nd appearance on the altmix blog. sadly we don’t have any new images to post but i do want to address something i came across in the past week or so- a camera lens.

now this isn’t just any camera lens for a digital slr, but the most ridiculous lens that there has ever been. (the image below is thanks to engadget)

i mean, doesn’t that camera look like a flee that managed to hang onto the back of that green beast?! sigma (is there any question as to who created this thing?) has recently unveiled their 500 mm f 2.8 lens for a staggering 25k- yeah, $25,000! evidently sigma is the first ever to offer a 500 mm lens with a super wide 2.8 aperture. even still, who in their right mind would buy such a thing. not i. and for the majority of you who have no idea what i’m talking about, this lens can take really good pictures from reeeeally far away- thats all you need to know. but if you want more, here’s the link.

on another note be sure to check the website in the next couple days if you’re interested in seeing some more of the shots from this past weekend with sally and andrew. we’ve got some great ones and we promise to have the new album up in the gallery by friday!

we’re also really excited about this coming weekend as we’ll be shooting an engagement session for another awesome couple, bonnie and david. and this is why they’re awesome: they’re registered at rei- because for their honeymoon they’re going to through-hike the appalachian trail!!! yeah, that is amazing… if you want to learn more about these guys here is a link to their great wedding website, davidandbonnie2008!

hope everyone is having a great week and we can’t wait to talk with you soon!

sally & andrew are engaged!

it’s impossible to explain how music can so perfectly portray love, but as sally and andrew sang together in the park on saturday, i saw it. we kept our cameras tight to our eyes as andrew strummed and he and sally sang softly about their faith, their love, and their hope. they finished with a beautiful song they wrote together, barely able to take their eyes off each other and smiling the whole time. sigh :)

we had a great time with sally and andrew. they are infectiously fun and in love; our high energy shoot was more like a play date than an engagement session! here are a few of our faves:
