Christina and Brent were married in Minneapolis, and Simon and I were lucky enough to be there to photograph their day. Extremely fun wedding, tons of smiles, laughing non-stop, party buses, jumps in the park, dancing, partying, dancing and more partying…

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…

Ebony and Tope are a lovely couple, so very much in love, located up in Minneapolis Minnesota. It is so much fun working with people like this, so nice and friendly. Smiles were never ending, and there was a warm feel in the air (even though it was a little cool out). I learned a lot about culture as well, as Tope told us stories of Nigeria, and how things are very different there… One of my favorite stories was when he was talking about the difference between pants and trousers… There pants means underwear and trousers are slacks. This was funny because Simon commented on Tope’s pants. Simon – “Nice pants” Tope’s thought – “How did he see my underwear”… There are many differences in the cultures between the US and Nigeria, but a few things are the same, humor and love.
Anyways, enough words, here are some images:

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:

Simon and I were lucky enough to photograph the very lovely and cute Maliya while we were up in Minneapolis just last weekend. She was awake and moving around most of the time, which her mother said was unusual. She said most of the time she is still and sleeping. This was good since we could get some shots of those big eyes, but also a bit more difficult since she was moving about… There were a couple shots we had to scrap because of all the movements, but all in all I think it turned out well. Take a look at some of the photographs I made:
