 Are you ALIVE? I love SHOOTING PEOPLE with a camera, click.  I love wine, good music (I stay far away from the "Top 40"), great art and LIFE.  In fact, I love life so much that it compels me capture it professionally with a camera, but if you stick around you might catch me catching life with video and audio as well.

This brings me to the most important question that I have for you:  Are you ALIVE, not just breathing and eating, but LIVING?  

If you answered YES, we should talk, I want to capture it (your life that is).  If you're just an eater and breather, give LIVING a shot, we'll all be dead soon enough.

Dustin + Teresa = Married > Teresa OR Dustin

Lately, I've been asking myself "Why Photography?"  Why do I love photography, or more specifically, photographing people?  The answer is ever changing and is entirely too complex and convoluted to actually communicate in its entirety, but one of my judgments really struck me.

I love photographing people, and weddings in specific, because I am allowed to observe the beauty of life in a detached way.  Viewing life in a detached way, where I am not a participant or emotionally attached, allows me to see the beauty of life intrinsically.  This opportunity to see beauty satisfies my heart.

Dustin and Teresa's wedding day was not an exception.  My experience tells me that there are no exceptions.

My day with Dustin and Teresa started at Coles Salon.

After we left the salon I met Teresa at Grace Lutheran Church in Apple Valley where she got ready and then went from bride to WIFE!
