Wedding Favorites

June 23rd, 2007 by John under Weddings

Here are a few favorite shots from my wedding in Bay City, MI a few weeks ago.  Angela and Rob were great to take pictures of, and seemed to be smiling the whole day… a photographers dream! 

I love the sky in this one…

Posing groups to “pose cool” is often very difficult… sometimes its easier to just let them do their thing and hope for the best.

We had a brief rain shower right at the end of a photo session outside the reception and I liked how the water looked on the pavement so I snapped this artsy shot.

The first dance… always a favorite part of the day for me.  Amazing pictures every time.

Rees Jones

June 20th, 2007 by John under Photoshoots

I had the pleasure of shooting a world famous golf course architect “Rees Jones” recently at Oakland Hills Country Club in Bloomfield Hills, MI.  Rees was selected by Oakland Hills to revamp their current course for the upcoming PGA which Oakland Hills is hosting in 2008.

The Course was last redesigned by Rees’s father, Robert Trent Jones in 1969 who was also a world renown golf architect and now its had its last reworking by Rees Jones.

Rees was a joy to work with and was never without his VP Keith Evans who was also very friendly and kept me entertained with small conversations throughout the day.  The Press and PGA were all there and the day was pretty packed, but I managed to snag a few quick shots as Rees was moving from appointment to appointment. 

Here is my favorite Picture of Rees.

During dome downtime I took some shots of the clubhouse thinking they might be able to use them for their website or other publications.  Here one of my favorites.

And here’s a shot of Rees and Keith with the clubhouse in the background.

Cornerstone Drama Shoot

June 15th, 2007 by John under Photoshoots

I’ve been shooting for Cornerstone University for a few years now but this week they did something completely different than ever before.  The graphic designer and art director had a fantastic idea to do this year’s drama posters using some “high fashion” shots as a consistent look for the years four different production posters.  Below is one of my favorite shots from the shoot, but sadly will probably not be used as this model was used in a different poster/production as well.  Seeing that it wasn’t going to be used, I felt it deserved some attention… so here ya go!
