My late night blog purge is coming to an end, now that my sites are up, alive, healthy and de-hacked. I’m excited to be shooting Trevor (my studio manager) and Amy’s wedding in the afternoon. I’m so happy for these guys. And even more stoked my daughter Tobin is taking part in the wedding. Below are some shots from their engagement session from last week. Not your typical photos for an engagement shoot, but this was the result of the way our minds work.

Enjoy!

I had the extreme pleasure of shooting one of my all-time favorite bands, Murder By Death. We were given 5 minutes to shoot some promo shots of the band, and I think I ended up pushing it to the 7 minute mark. We shot these in the “bell tower” of Turner Hall in Milwaukee, about 30 minutes before they took the stage. We searched the entire venue for a suitable location and came up empty until we were allowed into the tower. That’s where we found an immense stack of burned-up chairs. And if I was to estimate the temperature up there, I’d have to say it was about 110 degrees. Yes. We worked fast. Very fast. And I think I lost 5 additional pounds on my current weight-loss plan. Win-Win.

Here are two shots we walked away with..

The following photos were shot by my dear friend Amy Johnston, my primary second shooter of choice at ANY wedding. She nailed it!

Congratulations!
