Chris and Katie

I got to shoot with Kristin Shaparenko, Kim Fisher and it was my last wedding with Tim which is kinda sad but Chris and Katie absolutely shined and God was definitely present and blessing everyone who was there! Chris and Katie both come from amazing families and it was an honor for me to spend the last couple of days with them.


Last night at the rehearsal I was talking with Chris's dad, George, and he started to get kinda choked up and I could just see how proud he was of his son...and what's really cool is that I believe he hasn't seen anything yet! Chris worked with me for a little while and then started Chris Humphreys Photography and he has been skyrocketing ever since! His best years are ahead of him and it's gonna be a blast to watch!

Merry Christmas from two of OSP's finest!

I just had to post this because these girls are so awesome!!! Liana Lehman and Jessica Claire are two AMAZING wedding photographers...and I don't want to get off track here so I will understate their looks by only mentioning how gorgeous they are once in this post.

So we had a Christmas gift exchance on OSP and my AZ buddy Jefferson Todd, also a stellar wedding photographer (and strapping young chap) made this stellar gift and sent it out to Liana... it's really not a "gag" gift by any means and I can understand why the girls are fighting for it in the picture! j/k ... they were just being champs! Thanks girls!

Friends! :)

I'm so blessed to have the most wonderful friends ever! I couldn't possibly list or put pictures up of all the wonderful presents and cards I've received but I just wanted to say a special thank you to all of you!

Much love!

Portland - very cool!

Ok so Portland is super cool! (Oregon video) WOW! If it wasn't like -30 degrees I would totally visit here a lot. I've had such a blast hanging out with Kevin Meyers and one of my old soccer buddies Chasen and his wife Lisa and my old assistant Lindsay who is way cuter than Tim and two of her friends Courtney and Jen who are super awesome girls but I don't have a picture...sorry.

Anyway...before dinner tonight we stopped into the sweetest store ever and I am totally gonna order like every bit of furniture from this place! It's called West Elm so check it out!

....and it was so funny because at dinner everyone kept asking me when my flight was and I never know that kinda stuff so I was trying to look it up on my phone but couldn't find it so I just checked and it's at 1:45pm today...ahhhh....I guess I missed it by 10 hours or so.... Good thing Alaska Air is super cool and didn't give me a hassle or anything. I love Alaska Air/Horizon Air. The first time I flew them was to Alaska (weird I know) and they are always so nice and you can usually upgrade to 1st class for only $100.

Ok...BTW did everyone get the podcast link to the videos! Click here and sign up so you can automatically get all the latest videos! It's so easy! I'm not sure if these videos will work on the iPod video but for some reason iTunes podcast thingy won't pickup the videos compressed for the iPod - weird...anyway... goodnight.

Atlanta video for iTunes

I'm still testing this out but slowly getting the hang of it.

Good times in Atlanta with the OSP crew!

Bitter Sweet

It's really a bitter sweet time for me because I've reached the final days of what's been a wonderfully crazy six weeks. It feels like yesterday when we were all together in Atlanta for OSP-South and then I rushed to Puerto Vallarta, Hollywood, Boston, Santa Monica, Bel Air, San Diego, and now Portland...and I used to hate this sort of traveling but this streak has turned me around and I've loved nearly every minute of it!

I've also had the chance to hangout with some people who I've looked up to for a long time and I've been learning so much from spending my down time with them! Colon, Fong and Becker have all helped me see this industry and my business in a whole new light and I'm excited to pass everything along to all of you!



I was talking with Kevin Meyers on our way to the wedding the other day and we were just so psyched at how far the industry has come in the last 10 years and the guys listed above are the ones who did it! These guys, along with maybe a small handful of others, have turned the wedding industry into what it is today and have paved the way for the rest of us so if you ever have the chance to thank them for their hard work don't pass it up because they deserve our gratitude.

Looking forward to seeing you all again soon!

Fire Alarm

Remember how fun it was in jr. high when you had a fire drill because you got out of class...well it's not nearly as fun when you're in a hotel and it's 3am and -20 outside...

This is my mad face for whoever pulled the fire alarm!

Podcast

Ok...I left my laptop down in San Diego so I've been doing nothing all day...well not really but I have been having a way better day than usual so I think I'm gonna intentionally lose my laptop! :)

This is super fun trying to figure out how to videocast.... I hope this works!


this is another attempt to submit an iPod podcastable dj video
