Anchorage Wedding Photographer

First wedding of 2009 was a success. Not only did I get some amazing images but we were also photographed by a reporter with the Anchorage Daily News while shooting out on the bluff and he asked if he could put them in the Sunday paper. How cool is that?? I’m sharing more images than I normally do but I think hiking out in 16 degree weather, with the wind blowing, in open toe shoes and standing patiently while the photographer gets the lighting “just right” earns you a few more images!

They are a stunning, kind, totally in love couple and I wish them all the best………even though now they are sitting in warm Hawaii and I have to do another shoot out on this cold bluff this week.

From wedding to babies –  I absolutely love it when I get to stay in touch with couples I photograph on their wedding day. By photographing their wedding I witness their beginning and then if I’m lucky I get to be a part of their lives as they build their families! This stunning couple’s lakeside wedding was a BLAST! Their focus of the day was family, friends, and the love they share, exactly what it is suppose to be all about. It helped on my end that they are a model couple who couldn’t take a bad photograph if they tried! Now with baby number two on the way they took some time to celebrate their daughter’s first birthday in style………with a photo shoot!

A flashback…….how far you guys have come from the wedding day!

Mariekes Metal

I have the most amazing artistic friends anyone could ask for. This beautiful stove hood was designed and created by Marieke Heatwole of www.mariekesmetal.com  Marieke is going to be featured in Alaska Home Magazine in 2010 for her custom scuptures and art pieces. Because each piece is a commissioned original it is exciting to photograph them and help her share them with the world. Watch for the article in Alaska Home Magazine and maybe even a few of my photographs.

Anchorage Wedding Fair

For the past few days I have been tying ribbon on brochures, painting poles, steaming curtains, and staying up WAY too late to prepare my booth for the 2010 Wedding Expo this weekend. Because I am blessed to have most of my work come referrals I only paticipate in one bridal expo per year, thank goodness because this is a lot of work!  The 2010 event I chose to particapate in is this weekend downtown at the Dena’ina Center from 11:00-4:00pm. I have several new products, new storybook albums for this year, as well as a few big canvases I will be displaying. If you are going to the wedding fair please stop by my booth and say hello. Or if I covered your wedding in 2009 come by and see your images in a sample album! Should be a lot of fun and is a great way for you to see all of the new 2010 wedding products in one place.

Anchorage Alaska best wedding photographs

I have begun to compile my “best of” images for my annual slide shows. I began with the wedding one since wedding images are on my mind with the upcoming bridal fair downtown on the 25th. Here is a gathering of my favorite wedding images from 2009. Sometimes my personal favorites are the images that are more artistic, candid, edgy, or emotional. I love pulling them all together to reflect on my own growth as a photographer and to relive all of the amazing moments I have been allowed to share over the past year! What an amazing job I have! I can’t wait to begin weddings in 2010 with my first in a just a few weekends!

Portrait year in review coming next.

I hope everyone had a wonderful relaxing holiday. I did just that, no real plans, no work, no visitors, just enjoying the peace and quiet. Ok, well it isn’t that quiet with a ton of kids around but quiet enough for me. I am slowly recovering from the holiday season and I swear I will take down my Christmas tree this week! Luckily my first few clients of the new year last week were fun, beautiful, and easy.

If anyone needs a good Spider-man impersonation this little boy has you covered! I love it when we can get stunning perfection AND some spunk.

One really good looking family coming right up. After illness, reschedules because of mother nature, help from a few goldfish, and a TON of work trying to get everyone happy at the same moment I think we finally achieved it, four smiling children all looking in my direction simultaneously! Believe me, if you knew what these parents have gone through to get these shots you would appreciate them tens times over!
