I could not resist posting these images of Jack because the outfit he is wearing was made by John’s mom and John wore this outfit when he was little. So cute! I knew that Jack wasn’t going to fit into it much longer!
We were so honored to be asked to photograph Wade and Blaire’s wedding. We’ve been looking forward to this wedding for quite some time, and have had the pleasure of photographing Blaire for a magazine cover. Their meet-cute was in Texas where Blaire sang the National Anthem at one of Wade’s college football games…and the rest is history. We began the day in Blaire’s childhood home with all the girls together sharing stories and laughing. Blaire looked amazing in her Maggie Sottero gown from Ever After in Cleveland. The wedding was held at Patten Chapel where although it was 19 degrees outside, we were still able to get some amazing images. Humphreys did a fantastic job on the flowers for the event. After a quiet candle-lit ceremony, we were off to the Chattanooga Golf and Country Club for the reception. In addition to doing the lighting for the event, Philip from Soundforce truly kept everyone on the dance floor until the couple left with a sparkling exit. Wade and Blaire, enjoy your SLIDESHOW.

Our job is so awesome! John and I had such a blast with Laura, Daniel and their families in Jamaica. It was amazing to be a part of such an intimate wedding, as they were surrounded by their closest family and friends. Not to mention that Laura and Daniel are just fun to be around! Daniel and Laura had an incredible reception on New Year’s Eve at the Sheraton Read House. You can register here to see all of the images when they are available. Each guest will receive a $10.00 gift certificate for registering. Enjoy the JAMAICA SLIDESHOW!

As a photographer, I do my best to keep up with the changes and evolutions in technology…well, at least those pertaining to my field! (Though I will have to say…twitter and facebook hit me from left field…and I’m still not sure that I’m a fan…but I’m getting there.)
Anyway, if you’ve clicked on this link, you’re here for the noise. And I’ll bring it! I took delivery on Canon’s newest, blazingly fast pro camera on Wednesday, and I’ve been putting it through the paces. In short, I believe that it’s a solid gain of 2 usable stops beyond the 5DII.
Below are some impromptu shots I took this morning. All are handheld (I figure…if I’m using a crazy high ISO, I’m not gonna have a tripod anyway!) and were shot in very dark conditions with 50mm 1.2 lens. I white-balanced one image, and then copied the settings to all. No Photoshop, and no Noise Ninja. I dusted off Aperture 2 to process these. I now realize that LR2.6 will work with them as well, but…that’s another post!
I also shot some video up to ISO 12,800 and was incredibly impressed. Being a Canon user for more than a decade, (and loving the image quality of my 5D’s and 5DII’s, but finding the focus rather lacking) the focusing speed of this camera is quite impressive. I could go on and on.
The bottom line regarding the super-high ISO’s: this camera seems usable up to maybe 25,600…in a pinch. I feel solidly comfortable with 6400, and am cozying up to 12,800. But honestly the 51,200 and 102,400 look like something shot on my Blackberry!
Is this different from what I expected? Not really…just like the 5DII…it goes to 25,600…but I don’t find it usable much past 3200.
I’ll try and post more stuff soon (and maybe some more scientific looks at image quality and iso speed).
Bravo, Canon, for bringing such a great product to market. This camera — with its image quality and speed — shines from daylight to moonlight.
