(Best of 2011) http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/bloggersock/~3/04O9st0HV1M/ http://www.bloggersock.com/2012/02/workin-it-best-of-2011/#comments Thu, 16 Feb 2012 13:06:42 +0000 Kurtis Bowersock http://www.bloggersock.com/?p=7060 That’s right, we get down on the wedding day.  And I figured, what better way to kick off our favorite wedding photos of 2011, by starting with how they’re made.  Jennifer and I are continuously scanning for story lines on the wedding day, and occasionally that includes one another.  Obviously, we’re always trying to stay out of the other’s shot, but sometimes while preparing for the day or a posed image we see something fun going on.  On top of that, we’re always there to help each other test lighting situations.  The result of all of this are below.  Enjoy!

 

I love this first one of Jen… that is if you can find her.

It can be a risky biz sometimes!

You do what you have to to get the shot.  Even if it comes to politely asking to interrupt a family’s Saturday of paddling.  Thanks again!

Soon to come, Best of Weddings for 2011!  Stay tuned.

Sorry in advance to your scrolling finger.  There’s a lot of photos.  But seriously, you try cutting any of these out!

We have to start off with our best friends who are now living it up in Montana.  We miss you!

This shoot took place during one of our unseasonably nice January days.  It also happened to be Kathy’s birthday and the day before Stella’s 1st birthday.  Perfect time for a 10/90 shoot!

The Fowles really like to use their imagination.  Sometimes they’re certain animals, race cars (mostly Lightening McQueen) and other times Super Heros.  Obviously here, James and Caleb were Spiderman and Batman, taking care of a random monster trolling around the canal!  I thought a little added coloring would help explain the picture.

This photo below is one of my favorite 10/90 shots to date!

We headed back to their place to enjoy some after-dinner dancing and race cars.

Muuu-Ahhh (my best air-kiss sound), thanks for stopping by and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
