I did two weddings in Alaska this year… on the first trip I went up to Denali National Park.
These are the pictures I took.
I know i’m gonna put a bunch here on the post … but there’s some really fun stuff on the Full Gallery
So go there
This was pretty darn cool when the bear walked past us.
Yes we were in a car, we’re not crazy and I don’t own a super telephoto.
I kinda chased this guy around for a while.
Denali is all about Mountains and Animals i’ve decided
So apparently this was an exceptional time to go. It’s not usually this clear. (So they tell me)
Maybe clouds would be fun sometimes but I guess it’s fun to go in abnormal situations.
I titled this recap post “Just across the street”
Because that’s where these pictures were taken.
By the time I flew in, rented the car, went to the condo, went and got some late lunch/dinner and bought some groceries It was now to late to travel somewhere to do sunset pictures… so I went accross the street!
What I’m trying to say is for less than the cost of a hotel room there are nice condos for rent in super nice locations.
The search for a good place paid off.
But I thought about calling it “Be ready and Wait for it” because that’s what happened.
To see all the pictures from the small Day 1 Recap go here
I had a great moment when with about 30 seconds notice I noticed something that was going to happen.
I quickly got ready and waited for it. When it happened it happened fast and there were no do-overs.
In those 5 seconds you had to hope all those years of learning how your camera functions best pays off.
The thing is you fire off a dozen or more pictures and then you can’t really decide which one is the best, because the subtle differences offer something good for each.
But when this moment is happening in a flash (pardon the pun) it’s this weird rush of excitement.
Subdued and peaceful, you feel like you want to shout out Yes! but no one is around, and well you don’t want to jinx the pictures anyway.
So it’s a quite victory. Plus you know you didn’t make the event happen, you just happened to be there.
Yes indeed Thanksgiving Day is already upon us in Hawaii!
I got about 500 shots off at those zombies and quite a few of them landed. Here are the results.
BRAINS… BRAINS… BRAINS!!!!!
So I went and shot Zombies
Here are the results.
To see them all (as I get them done) GO HERE
There were a lot
Whatever became of the old farmer and his pitchfork?
(SEE tons more after the jump or on smugmug)
Even half way through november in Utah there is still al ittle color around.
The cities… but it’s still not in abundance… you have to really work it 
The scenery at the Tahitian Noni Gardens was great!
The shade we had at around 6-7 was great!
The bride was gorgeous, that certainly helps!
The dress was very memorable (and I’ve seen a lot)!
The mom was helpful (even helped with the reflector!
It was laid back and fun and totally enjoyable!
The bride pulled off smiley and modelish wonderfully!
I’ve picked too many of the pictures so I’m trying to unpick some to make things more manageable editing process.
But in the meantime enjoy a preview.
Being 4 shoots behind I think I’ll just post a couple pictures that caught my attention as I sort through pictures.
Usually I wait until I’m done looking through all of them and then make sure I pick the best.
I thought I’d put up these two because she looks so very different in these pictures.
These two are a very different view of her… if you knew her you’d understand.
I hope to post a few more of her later so you can see what I’m talking about.
I am back from my trip to Oregon.
I drove 1800 miles and took about 5000 pictures (lots of family)
I will work on getting those up and edited soon.
Hopefully before I start my 6 photo shoots in the next 7 days.
I am sad to say that before I left I wasn’t able to post pictures from all of my shoots I did in June or July.
But I was just aiming to get them all edited (which i did)
And unless there’s a clamoring I don’t see my self getting to them.
And august is going to be even harder. 10 weddings and bridals to go with most of them.
But I will try hard to post from an event from time to time.
Let’s hope I get around to it more than i expect.
The other thing that makes it difficult is that I’m hoping to post more to the Envision the World Blog

Just trying to show off some stuff from back in June
Here’s the first shoot I did with my new 70-200 2.8 VR
There’s a business park on the border of provo and springeville with lots of grass a stream and a big pond. Also some nice weeping willows. I’m not sure what it’s called but I know how to get there.
It’s been a while since I’ve been so I took the most recent couple there.
They’ll be getting married august 2nd
In an effort to catch up and show you all what I’ve been up to… I’ll quickly post some stuff from june.
I’ve edited about a dozen photo shoots since I last posted one to the blog.
As i mentioned previously I’ve just been making the large password protected galleries, so that won’t let most of you see what’s been going down.
But now I’m almost done with all my edits (for now) and I thought I’d take a moment to post a recent photo shoot.
Since the last you’ve seen I now own 2 new lenses.
Full Gallery (Password)
It was hard to choose because there were seriously dozens that could all have been strong contenders for announcement pictures.
I’ve been editing non-stop this week and getting a lot of jobs done.
But I’ve only been releasing full password protected galleries.
That means I haven’t been posting them.
This is a good thing if I still need to edit your pictures… because I’ll be able to get to them faster.
For everyone else… stay tuned.
I’ll post some stuff on my 4th of july adventures.
Straight from the camera style. Because they’re way down the line in editing.
We took pictures at two different locations.
Riverwoods business park and the Provo amtrak station

They’re getting married later in August in Manti.
