This weeks photo of the week is of my wife, Catherine. She came along on a Minnesota weekend for a wedding, and on the way back we stopped at a couple places to take some photographs. She is a great sport, always allowing me to photograph her when I feel like it… Anyways, another thing about this photo is that the more I photograph the more I lean towards natural looking images in both color and black and white. My post processing is becoming more just about the color or the tones in a black and white image… and less about crazy photoshop actions or styles. I believe a good color or black and white photograph are timeless, while stylized photographs may look antiquated sometime in the future? So, enjoy this image of my wife Catherine…

I missed a few there, hey? Sorry about that. Working 2 full time jobs can get a bit crazy, and the past weeks one of those jobs went into massive overtime… which did not help the work piling up on this end (the photography). Anyways, this weeks photo(s) come from Kyle and Ian’s wedding, which Simon and I photographed last weekend. It actually seems like a lot longer ago than that… Time flies…

Since this weekend is also “sneak peek” weekend, these are also a sneak peek at Kyle and Ian’s wedding…

Enough about that, here are some images:

The photo of the week this week is of a man reading his newspaper. Nothing special, nothing groundbreaking… I just like this image. Sometimes as I am walking around I wonder why I take certain photos… Sometimes it is just a reaction, you see something, somewhere the brain says, hey snap a picture NOW, and before you can even think about it, there is a new photo captured in your camera. It is usually these types of photos that I love best. The moments where you don’t even have a second to think about it, you just make the picture…

This weeks image of the week is of a lovely couple, Ebony and Tope. Simon and I traveled to Minneapolis a couple weeks back and had a crazy weekend, with a lot of scheduled photographs to take. One of which was an engagement session with Ebony and Tope. More images to come, but for now here is one:

This weeks photo of the week, “Drops with Night Lights”. This photo was taken late at night as I was sitting in my car. It was raining outside, it was peaceful and there were city lights in the background. It was one of those moments when everything seemed peaceful, just for a couple of seconds… So in that moment I took out my camera, quietly as to not disturb the moment, and snapped a few photographs of raindrops collecting on the windshield of my car.
