( j ): Without title

Often artists leave images untitled. Sometimes it works for the image sometimes it doesn't. I struggled with a title for this blog. I could always call in Allee and Tom, or I could come up with some sort of trite title... but i won't so it remains untitled, or "without title" Sin Nombre, ohne name... So Allee and Tom are one of the weddings we are looking forward to. Honestly though, because we are pretty selective on the wedding commissions we accept we are excited to work with all of our couples this year. But we are really excited for their wedding. We talked about this connection session a few times and were really looking forward to photographing it. It's not that we put a crazy amount of planning into it. It's just we all thought about it and when we all think about it, sometimes magic happens. The session did start off a little rocky, I totally screwed up in giving them directions. So, we both got to the spots where we thought the other was. unfortunately, there was about a ten mile difference in those spots. It took a bit in traffic but we got it worked out and didn't get too late of a start. Once there, Tom and Allee were perfectly in love with one another. When two people are so in love and into each other as they were, it really makes our job fun. So we spent some time here, spent some time there, did a little of this did a little of that, and well you can see what we got. Oh, did I mention it was f-f-fr-fr-freezing! Poor Allee in that little, albeit amazingly cute, dress kept having to warm up inside her coat. By the time the sun went down and we were setting up our last image, she was bundled up in her coat with Toms arms wrapped around her keeping her warm! Thanks you two for putting up with the cold and crappy directions! So anyway, here they are, 'untitled!'

These two images are all about perspective. Desiree on one camera at one angle, and I on another. It's so wonderful being able to work with her every day. When people ask us what makes us different, this is the top answer. It's both of us together.

How can you argue with love. There is no need for looking at the camera and smiling when you are in love, just be in love and the images just happen!

So this image is all about preparation. Though I may not always give the best directions, Desiree and I are always equipped with the equipment we need for any situation. Even the sunset on the Sandias! This image wasn't planned but but we saw it and we were ready, so we did it and dig it!
