Ariel + Dane Wedding Sheridan, California

We are blogging up a storm this week! So much new work to share:) While we were in California we were blessed to shot Ariel and Dane's wedding at the beautiful Stone Barn Ranch. It was evident from the emotional ceremony and multitude of heartfelt speeches that these two beautiful people have touched alot of lives, and continue to do so. Thank you so much Dane and Ariel for letting us be part of the celebration of your love. It was a warm beautiful day, and we love california light:) All film images captured with my Mamiya 645af, on Portra 400 film

House of Heroes : Skull Church :

Hi, I'm Rachel. A now married woman with a crush on a band. Jeremiah has his band crushes too so it's okay ;) I've personally blogged about House of Heroes before. I LOVE THEM. I've been such a fan girl of them for about 7 years, since I first saw them at Creation Fest on the Fringe Stage. Since them I've seen them at least once a year somehow. Every time I swear it gets better and better and I fall more in love with them. They definitely remind me a modern Beatles, with a more rock flair. If you've never heard them before I recommend listening :) All of them are such nice guys AND amazingly talented musicians. Youtube (that's a verb now) of Jared Rigsby singing "My Hot Dogs Go On".  DO IT. It's hilarious.

Anyway, my favorite band came back to Skull Church. I was soooo happy! We grabbed a couple quick shots on Ilford Delta 3200 film. Perfect for such an occasion :) And then we out to pizza with the band of other cool people. NO BIG DEAL OR ANYTHING. Inside I was dying like I had just met the biggest celebrity in the world. "I almost lost my cool there"

Camping at Big Arm, Montana

Its almost eleven and I just somehow got the mix right for pour over coffee after months of "tweaking"... This is my life in a nutshell... or a coffee bean.

Married life is good, we are broke, happy, and enjoying getting into the swing of things. We are almost caught up on editing, and will be tackling some album designs etc by the end of this week. We are also in the yearly process of rebranding and changing things we are not satisfied with. It seems like a never ending battle, but when it comes to our "art" it'll never be quite finished. I like the direction we are heading, and thats enough for now.

Every year Rachels family goes camping around Labor day, last year I was the odd new boyfriend, this year I was the almost husband. I drove a boat for the first time, and tested out my new Canon 814 super 8 camera, which we used later to film our wedding (fingers crossed, still have yet to send the film in) but as you can see from the awkwardly silent footage below, it works.

All the images below were taken on Kodak Portra 400 and 160 film.

Jon + Julia Day after session

This was such an insanely fun shoot. We don't often get a bride and groom that are willing to jump into a lake for us:) We also got to shoot a ton of film, which makes me super happy. This session also made me wish every wedding was on the water. Jon and Julia! You are both amazing people! and I'm so glad things worked out the way they did and and Rachel and I were able to capture these images.

Film shot on Mamiya 645af, 80mm 1.9N, Portra 400 and Fuji 400H.
