Christy and Kyle’s Wedding – Crested Butte, Colorado
Posted on July 28, 2010
Many of you know Kyle. He’s been working with me for the better part of a year, helping out with studio management and making the slideshow magic happen at weddings. Well on June 19th his own wedding rolled around and I had the honor of shooting it! Christy and Kyle are a very fun couple, with very funny and quirky personalities! When they told me about their destination wedding in a tiny Colorado town, and the ceremony on top of a mountain, I was super excited! Without further ado, here are some of my faves from the day. Please leave a COMMENT for Kyle and Christy if you like their photos!








Behold, the town of Crested Butte.



Kyle and Christy were married at almost 10,000 feet. How cool is that?






After their wedding we spent a couple hours in the harsh afternoon sun taking some portraits. We were hot, dusty, and sweaty, but it was worth it!


LOVE the shot on the left.

Oh, and this one on the left too. Personal fave!

Did I mention they were quirky? The cemetery shoot was by request.
I’m telling them to order this as a giant gallery wrap.

Off to the reception!






Don’t forget to watch the slideshow if you want to see more!
Thanks for inviting me to be a part of your gorgeous wedding, Christy and Kyle!

Chris Aram : Awesome work, man - I love that your photos look processed but don't look processed at the same time. I can tell that you spend time working with them, yet there is a minimalist feel to your editing that allows the images themselves to make a stronger statement! And I've always had this odd desire to shoot in a cemetery, but have yet to suggest it to a bride and groom ... for obvious reasons, I guess :P
Toby Anderson : Til death do us part...Dig the cemetery shot
Rachel Perry : I love the idea of a small wedding. So personal! I also love the cemetery shot. GorgeousM
Marisa : Such awesome pictures! I am so happy for the couple!! Gorgeous!
Rachel Perry : Nix the "M" and add an exclamation point. My finger slipped on my iPad. :-)
chrisfig : Beautiful shots. Really happy for you guys, congrats!
lindsay : your personal fave is mine too! great work!
Hannah B : Love it. What a beautiful wedding! Love that it's very nature-y. :)
Josh : nicely done, sir. good times all around.
Christy : Stunning images! Thanks for capturing the sheer excitement and love imminating throughout the entire day! I love it.

Lauren and Wyatt’s Engagements – Buenos Aires, Argentina
Posted on July 1, 2010
This is a post I’ve been VERY excited to put up! Lauren and Wyatt were kind enough to invite me and Kacie along to Argentina, specifically the city of Buenos Aires, where we took their engagement portraits. It was an amazing experience! We had so much fun hanging out with Lauren and Wyatt for a couple days, and they looked so great in their portraits!
*** If you don’t want to hear me jabber on about the details of our trip, scroll down to see the photos***
Buenos Aires is a city of 11 million people in an area of 50 square kilometers. It was packed! Kacie and I spent the better part of 2 days running around the city like crazy and location scouting. We were able to narrow it down to three parts of town, but I could have spent a month taking pictures there. The culture there was quite something. It was very laid back, yet formal. The service at restaurants was pretty bad. Polite, but inattentive. The upside was nobody expects much of a tip. Speaking of restaurants, the food there was amazing. Kacie and I ate at one of the nicest steakhouses in the country, equivalent of a 5 star restaurant in the states, and we spent less than $150. And the steaks were amazing. European style cafes were on every street corner, and everywhere we went the espresso was great. My kind of town!
Another thing we noticed was people drive CRAZY. The lane markers were literally just for decoration, and there are very, very few stop signs or traffic lights. Imagine 11 million people driving like crazy without traffic lights at many of the intersections. Amazingly, we saw very few cars that were beat up and we didn’t see a wreck the entire time we were there. It was like there was some subliminal form of communication that kept all the drivers from hitting each other.
We spent some time shopping and both bought leather jackets (the Argentine are known for their leather goods), and even got to see a traditional tango show, which was pretty impressive. All-in-all I’d say it’s definitely a place I’d go back again, but next time I hope I can go for more than 4 days!
With out further ado, here are some of my favorites (with narration):
————————————-
After enjoying dinner with Lauren and Wyatt another nice steak house (Argentina is famous for its beef), we took some night shots in an area of town called Puerto Madero. It’s an upscale and hip part of town, popular with tourists, students, and young, well-off professionals in Buenos Aires. That spikey-looking thing is a very cool pedestrian bridge.


This was a ramp down to a floating dock. We only lasted a minute before getting kicked off by their equivalent of the coast guard.


Before calling it a night, we grabbed a shot on the widest (non-highway) street in the world. Avenue de Julio is 18 lanes across, with multiple lights guiding pedestrians who want to cross. It typically takes 3 light changes to make it across.

After a short night’s sleep, we got our butts out of bed early, grabbed some breakfast in the hotel, and then took a 40 minute cab ride to an empty park on the South Atlantic Ocean. It was all worth it, however, for these sunrise shots.

I couldn’t decide if I liked the shot above or the shot below better, so I put them both up. It’s my blog, so I can do that.

I really love the soft morning light in this image.

This shot gives you an idea of some of the architecture in BA. It is heavily European, specifically with a lot of french inspiration. The balconies on these buildings are slightly more modern, but in other parts of the city you’d swear you stepped right into Paris.

I really love this image of Lauren and Wyatt. Their expressions are perfect, and the cobblestone is a perfect backdrop.

One of my favorites areas of town is called Recoletta. In Recoletta is a famous cemetery with thousands and thousands of above-ground tombs, most of which extend several stories below ground. They are filled with caskets and urns representing centuries of a family’s history. It was an amazing sight. Well aware of the incongruity of taking wedding photos in a cemetery, we shot here for over an hour and got some great stuff.
One of my favorite images below.


Also in Recoletta are these enormous (and I mean enormous) gum trees. The picture on the right doesn’t do the tree justice. It was easily as wide as it was tall, and my 14mm lens at 30 feet back couldn’t come close to taking it all in. If you look closely, you’ll see Lauren and Wyatt.

Finally, to finish up our day and a half of shooting, (after a little siesta) we ended up in a famous area called La Boca. It is a very touristy area, but is very poor, and can be dangerous at night. It’s famous for it’s brightly colored buildings and heritage as one of the original tango neighborhoods. Frankly, it was a photographer’s paradise. By this time Lauren and Wyatt were pros and got some amazing shots!







Mimicking a tango here on the right

The image on the right is 100% natural. It is NOT photoshopped.

And last but not least, we had to do something that made us look like stupid tourists!

Everybody give Lauren and Wyatt a hand for surviving a grueling 24 hours of shooting, and for looking good the whole time! And please LEAVE A COMMENT if you like what you see!

lindsay : um, ya, great work!!! love it! thanks for sharing :)
Jill : WOW! Adam,these are wonderful...what a fun trip!
Ryan : These are awesome... what a great opportunity!
Lauren Wiseman : Amazing! Even better than we had hoped they would be! Thanks to Adam and Kacie for finding all of the beautiful locations...also thanks to our local BA friends for helping us create a "target" list of spots. Wyatt and I are so excited to share these photos with our friends and family.
Wyatt McCulloch : Can't believe how well they turned out!! Adam you did an incredible job and thanks to Kacie for putting up with the three of us for all the hours of shooting. This was my third trip to Argentina and it was very special to be able to have a photo shoot in Buenos Aires. Can't wait for WEDDING PICTURES!!
Samantha Robilio : Wow, those are awesome pics! I love all the old buildings in the background. Thanks for sharing!
Liz Scallan : What a wonderful choice - my favs are the sunrise shots and the "lying in the street photo".
Jocelyn : Great shots incorporating the city. My favorite "beauty" shots are the ones in the cobblestone street and the black and white gum tree (which could be right out of a fairy tale. But, I am a fan of humor so the stupid tourist shot has my heart ;-)
Renee : I love them! Especially the one of you two laying on the cobblestone...it's my favorite!! Beautiful! xoxo
Keri Henry : Love the La Boca pics, the "non photoshop pic" is great. Love the 1st sunset pic. Lauren you look like a model, especially in cobblestone pic, he's right, both of ya'll really pulled off the facial expression. I think Recoletta was a great idea (btw, did you happen to see a ton of cats there? And wasn't Eva Peron's tomb such a let down compared to the others?). Love the blue wall at the end. You MUST take a pic in your wedding dress in front of a similar blue wall (Molina's on westheimer had a good one :)
ann : GREAT JOB ADAM! Of course it didn't hurt that you had awesome models!
Karen Sehlke : WOW!!! Those are AMAZING. I can't pick a favorite because they are all beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Melanie Pereira : You want comments, ill give you comments ;) Here we go: I am in love with the top sunset pic…the birds, her leg, wyatt’s towering body… I think it’s great how there’s a little local lady in the street shot of them on the pedestrian walkway…and I love the wind in lauren’s scarf… Big fan of cobblestone laydown shot…the texture, her hair, his eyes, that scarf (nice choice lw) The split shot in the cemetery, I really like the one on the right…the light, the composition, the sneaky kiss ;) I would go to BA just for the tree in the next two shots…love that they are “sleeping” The next one I like for the Juxtaposition…not a framer, but perfect for book...tells several stories One on bench…their poses are perfect and I am a huge fan of those blocks of color everywhere B&W…framer…so genuine…love it. The shadow holding hands one is my favorite…I dig how you can tell who they are…especially with wyatt’s hair ;) In the house out the windows is cute, but I am in LOVE with the ones directly below…THAT is why BA rocks… Tango one is one of my top two faves…for what it is, for that pigeon!!!, for the sun, the grain…the pink, the angl…obsessed. The heads in holes one is hysterical! I looked it so many times. Last one is cute cute cute…Lauren, you are so small! FAVES: Top Sunset -Cobblestone laydown -Between graves kiss -Black and white laughing -Split screen one below green house window pic -Tango -Funny heads in hole ;) Adam you are wonderful...I can't wait to meet you...and I REALLY can't wait for you to photograph my wedding someday ;) (seriously) LOTS OF LOVE TO YOU ALL ~mp~

Mindy Gray : You both look great!!! LOVE them all, especially the tree... amazing! And Lauren, you look like a natural... the face you have when you are both on the ground... you can see your connection.
JH Johnston : W & L, What was most striking was not the 'heartfelt' photography from a country many love enough to consider it as their second home or the passion the lens captured of a couple so engaged in each other it fills the viewers hearts with love for them, it was the subtle feelings you two brought time y again for each other in each y every scene, something only true love for each other can yield. Nothing is better than that, well except for sharing it with friends while being in Bs.As. as you both have done, now that is priceless. Thanks for sharing your gifts with your friends, Jeff Johnston
Karen Wiseman : For two of the most photogenic people Argentina is a great back drop. The old world feel with two young Americans is a great contrast. The colors are amazing and their smiles and love for each other just make everything deeper and brighter. Adam, you handled this assignment with such professionalism I am truly impressed. You are a very gifted and talented photographer. Mother of the Bride, Karen Wiseman
Nanette & Roy Wiseman : We loved ALL the pics! Adam, you are very talented!!! Of course you had 2 of the most wonderful people to work with! xoxo LOVE LOVE LOVE
Mariano : Your first picture at the cemetery is creepy... and so funny!!! Congratulations!
Larry Wiseman : Really Nice Shots by the photographer. Lauren is so photogenic and Wyatt not so bad either
Claudia : Adam...very breathtaking photos...I think my favorite is the 2nd sunrise shot...WOW!
(Aunt) Vicki Terry : I could never pick a favorite. I have looked at these several times and can only cry!! Of course, I do that a lot about sentimental stuff! Wyatt and Lauren, I am so very happy for you both. The pictures are probably the best I have ever seen at capturing the love you two share. The second sunrise pic is one I would love to have. I believe Adam has shown your love, your romantic sides, your ability to be spontaneous, your protectiveness of each other, and your personalities in these stunning photos. Can only imagine how beautiful the wedding pics will be! And what a location to have your photo shoot - outstanding! xoxo
Larry Wiseman : The pictures of Lauren and Wyatt look great. Argentina was a great back drop for such important pictures. FOB - Larry Wiseman
Larry Wiseman Jr. : Hey sister, these pictures are really good. You are so pretty! Brother of the Bride - Brother
Barbara Williams : I really enjoyed looking at all the pictures at Adam's house. They are all very good. Thank you for including me. I think you picked a beautiful album of pictures to remember your Engagement Trip to Argentina. Nanny of the Bride - Barbara Williams
Diane Stockbridge : OMG Adam! Fabulous pics of the fabulous couple!! Of course, as Wyatt's mom and Lauren's future mom-in-law, I am well aware of how handsome he is and how beautiful she is. You have certainly captured that and so much more! The photos draw me in and make me feel like I'm there. You have an amazing eye and a wonderful gift. My favorites are the sunrise shot with the birds flying, the early moring shot of them leaning against the tree, black and white tree truck, the black and white of Lauren resting her cheek on Wyatt's chest (she's SO beautiful!) and the shots of them sitting up on the back of the bench in La Boco. I think the one of their shadows is very creative and of course I love the one of Wyatt with the hat and Lauren with the flower in her hair doing a little Tango! Great work Adam...thanks for sharing these and the great narrative on the website. I can't wait to see wht you do for the wedding!!
Brandi Smith : Great photos!!! Lauren and Wyatt look amazing!!! Great job!

Marisa and Chris’ Engagements
Posted on June 28, 2010
I was super excited to photograph this couple! Chris (Fig) is one of my best friends, and ever since Marisa entered the picture she has fit in to our little group so well. I am really, really happy for them and really looking forward to their wedding in October (which I will NOT be shooting!). Enjoy a few of my favorites from their engagement session.
Starting things off with a cup o’ joe at Catalina Coffee.



Hooray for random walls!

And un-mowed patches of weeds!





And thanks to one of my other best friends, Clint, for letting us shoot in/around his studio!

Love this last image.

Thanks for being a great couple and great friends, Fig and Marisa!

Michele and Eric’s Wedding
Posted on June 25, 2010
I had the honor of shooting Michele and Eric’s beautiful wedding at Hotel Icon back in May. Michele has an amazing sense of style, and her planner, Keely Thorne, made sure everything came together perfectly. Michele and Eric’s personalities really showed in all the details! Below are a few of my favorites from the day!


I love these whimsical hats that the bridesmaids and junior bridesmaids wore!



Meet Eric, who hates getting his picture taken, but I think he’s looking pretty suave, don’t you?

Their “first look”.

Waiting for the elevator…



Ceremony music provided by the very entertaining Harbor Light Choir.

Eric’s longtime friend officiated the ceremony.




Did I mention Michele has impeccable style?


The groom’s cake depicts their road trip to Marfa, Texas, where they fell in love.









Don’t forget to watch the slideshow!
Thanks for an amazing time, Michele and Eric!

Chicago After a Storm
Posted on June 23, 2010
Kacie, Caden and I are enjoying a little R&R in downtown Chicago before heading up to Wisconsin for a family reunion. Tonight a pretty serious storm rolled through and even threw down a tornado just outside downtown. After the storm subsided a little, the setting sun peeked through and cast a hint of orange to the green sky, creating a very eerie and dramatic backdrop for Chicago’s skyline. I snapped these images on my way to pick up chinese take-out. Enjoy!

After the sun set, the twilight sky was still amazing.

Cheryl : Truly Amazing! We stood on our front porch last night and were enjoying a view of the sky, but not like that - how beautiful!!
Jennifer : These are absolutely stunning. I am going to be moving up to Chi-town in a couple of months and these make it all that much more exciting!
Hannah B : Awesome!! Would you mind sharing with me your camera settings for these shots? I'm starting to practice my 'night time' photography bc we are going to DC in a few months and we are taking a night time walking tour of all the memorials and monuments and I'm looking forward to getting some good shots. :)
Mahsa’s Bridal Portraits – Crystal Ballroom
Posted on June 16, 2010
Mahsa is a fabulous bride, and the friend of two of my other fabulous clients (Lindsey and Hooman, and Minou and Josh). After the killer engagment session I did with Mahsa and Mehran at the rodeo carnival, I knew I was going to have a blast shooting her bridals. And I was right.
Mahsa definitely knew how to work it for the camera! Here are a few of my favorites from the session.’
Really like this one on the right…



Bird cage veil for the win!
