CoWorking from Heather Ahrens on Vimeo

 

It has been too long! I have about 5 more posts to blog this weekend that I can't wait to show you!

I am so excited about the new Canon 5d Mark II that came out earlier this month. I got my hands on a copy this week and had to show you the awesome video quality of this thing. I decided to make a short video of a group of us that have been working together during the day. Each of us who come to the CoWorking group works freelance and doesn't have the typical 9-5 daily schedule. CoWorking gives us a place to meet new people and create a community where we can work together but separate on our own projects. Thanks so much to Jon Strong for helping me produce this short video.

Until next time... take care!

Stefanie Warren photographed this wedding for HA! Photography! I got to be her assistant! Here are some words from Stefanie:

I think it's the way they look at each other.  Or perhaps the way they finish each other thoughts and use terms like "we" and "us" and "our" when they talk about things they love.  Jennifer and Steve are genuine and kind and so incredibly in love.  Heather and I had the pleasure of documenting their special day on one of the most beautiful days in October.  The rose garden- at Harry P. Leu Gardens- was a perfect setting for these two to come together.  We started off the day with a "First-Look" just outside of the garden and I am so glad they chose to see each other for a brief moment before the ceremony.  Live music, played by close friends, was the soundtrack to both the ceremony and the reception.  Antonio's in Maitland was an excellent location to continue the celebration, with its amazing food and authentic style.  We hope the images from their wedding day are a true representation of the love they share.  Enjoy!

Heather took these two:

Becka made me this collage from my birthday party last night:

 

Thanks to everyone who came out. It was a blast!

Last week I headed out to Caffe Da Vinci in Deland with my friend Amber to see Thomas Wynn and the Believers and An Introduction to Sunshine. Here are some photos I took:

Stefanie photographed Jennifer and Steve's wedding today. I got to be her second photographer! Here is a photo that I took of Stefanie during the ceremony:

Megan and Garrett's wedding was recently featured on the Southern Wedding Blog!  Go leave them some blog love :)

Maria and Myron were the first of two amazing In Love Sessions! Maria and Myron were engaged just a few weeks before their session! It's fun to see the variety of images the we were able to make in just 30 minutes. Here are a few of their favorite images from the day:

 

Brandi and Matt are some of the coolest people I have met lately. Brandi works at Hard Rock Live with the bands that come and play there. If I wasn't a photographer I would want her job! Brandi and I talked about her job and what music we were interested in during the session.

 

She picked a fun song for her slideshow by Rise Against. I must admit... I have grown tired of a certain singer with the intials JJ and I was so glad that she picked a song that wasn't by him ;)

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing two of my good friends for their new website launching soon. Becka and Nate run the fabulous Studio 222 Photography!

Becka used to assist me last year, and its really cool to see how much her photography has grown over the past year.

Here are some of my favorites:
