An itty bitty wedding on a lake. Strong petrichor. Some homemade coffee liquor. Mango mimosas. A daytime owl under a bridge. Yahtzee the sweet-but-snarling puppy. And two hilarious people about to say I do. Good day. (It should be noted they werent crazy dog-people…actually I dont know that for sure…but it was I who insisted Yahtzee be in half the photos…)

Its really weird sometimes what qualifies as exciting for me these days. But this is one of those things. Some photos on one of the few wedding blogs I can keep up on: offbeatbride.com

I met these guys what seems like 2 years ago and they have been through alot since we took engagement photos. Venues changing, dates changing, sex changes, murder charges, syphilis, I “accidentally” stole one of Tera’s books, Brets organs were nearly destroyed in a horrific car accident. But finally it came together…and it was beautiful. Im a sucker for the kind of detail and creativity that went into this one. And these guys are suckers too. I shot Bret and Tera’s wedding pro-boner (thanks for all the referrals Tera!) but I had 4 pieces of carrot cake. Thats way more cake then a photographer should get at anyone’s wedding.

Midnight Sun Brewhaha

Awhile back…nearly a year, jebus… I had the pleasure of shadowing a couple awesome brewers through the magical process that is craft brewing. The photos were part of a tribute to celebrate the big anniversary of the frozen north’s most eccentric brewery: Midnight Sun. Trudging through the dirty anchorage industrial park at a dark 7am the crunching ice underfoot is slowly replaced by the undeniable power of Eddie Money blasting through the warehouse walls. Better then any cup of coffee. The next day its Celine Dion. The next, Journey. Emotive. Just like the beer. These guys are part chemist, part artist, and part crazy (the good kind). The work here is serious but the guys are seriously fun. They are precise in their skills, production, and knowledge but never seem to forget why they make beer…because its fun as shit (…alot if it anyways). The place is quickly growing from a small producer with a cult like following to a larger-ish distributer (also with a cult like following) and popular restaurant. It seems like they are handling the transition well and sticking to their try-anything style of concocting beer. They have yet to get an espresso machine.
