Medium Format!
Last week I got quite the surprise at work. A client brought in a Mamiya rz67 and two Pentax 645s. He had owned his own photography business before becoming a preacher. He told me I could have the cameras as long as I used them!
Well of course I am going to use them! I went that day and bought film.
This past Sunday, Callie and I got to do a wonderful engagement session for Olivia & Braxton. I asked them if it would be alright if I took some photos with film. They both agreed and said they could not wait to see the photos! Well, I finally have my first roll of 120 back from being developed and I LOVE it!!
These are the photos from the Mamiya rz67.

Off Camera Flash
First off, let me say that I am not the photographer who likes to use a flash. I prefer to use natural lighting. This past week I was doing a shoot for Unraveled Boutique. When we got to the location I soon realized I had left my memory cards at home. Oops!! Well, I had my 1976 film camera with me and a lot of film. My wife said she would drive thirty minutes back home to get the memory cards. I shot the first part of this session all on 35mm film. That turned out great. You can see those photos in my previous post.
When my wife returned with the memory cards the sun had already set and I just wasn’t getting the kind of lighting I wanted. So, I set up my off camera flash at about a 45 degree angle to the girls and exposed the shot to them.
Let me just say, WOW!! The colors after sunset were stunning!! I am extremely happy with the way these portraits turned out!!

Chase & Erica Watson Wedding!
This wedding was a new experience for me. I was in charge of not only the photography, but videography as well. Needless to say, I was a little stressed out. Despite the stress, the photos turned out great. We could not have asked for better weather for the outside ceremony. It was such a great experience to work with this wonderful couple and their families on their special day!!
Bridal Party Attitude

This turned out to be one of my favorites from the June 1st wedding I covered. I asked them to give me a sassy and serious look. Well, this is what they came up with and I love it!
Unraveled Boutique | 35mm Film

The Bridal Party Strikes Back!

The groom, Chase, is a Star Wars fanatic! I had this in mind when we were taking the bridal party photos after the wedding. I had the bridal party run towards me and I told them to act “terrified”. The “terrified” part didn’t really turn out but it ads some flavor to the photo! I thought for a few minutes about what they should be running from and of course it hit me!! An ATAT (All-Terrain Armored Transpart) or Imperial Walker was the perfect fit!
This is the result!!
