The Purkey Wedding
I had such a blast shooting Danielle and Chris's wedding! They had their ceremony and reception at the Wyldewood Cellars Winery in Mulvane. Since the wedding took place in January, it was too cold for grape vines. Danielle and Chris toughed out the cold and we got some great shots outdoors with some of the Winery's landscaping.

Trying Out A New Lens
I just purchased the 50mm f/1.4 canon lens and I think I'm in love! This lens will be a great addition to my collection of lenses for weddings and portraits. I can not tell you enough how excited I am to use it this Saturday for a wedding event! I'm sure I will have lots to share!
When I decided to by a prime lens I went back and forth many times trying to figure out how much I should spend and what lens would be the best for the buck! Initially I wanted the L series 50mm f/1.2 but couldn't get myself to spend over $1,500 for it. I love my other L lens and totally think it's worth the money I spent on it, but when I could get another 50mm lens for way less... I had to start comparing reviews. Really, the f/1.4 and f/1.2 don't have a lot of difference other then the f/1.2 being extremely well built with better glass. When it comes down to sharpness and how well they shoot in low light, I've read that both are very compatible. I guess it all comes down to what your willing to spend, but in my case, I saved a lot of money and still get the great quality. However, you do need to know what you are doing with your camera settings to take advantage of this lenses great features.
Here are a couple practice snap shots I took of my two sweet puppies! This is the only one I was able to take of Ratchet before he hid under the table. For some reason both my dogs are camera shy.

We shot Gina and Tyson's wedding on January 1st 2011... a perfect start for a new year! Heather and I really enjoyed photographing this couple! They were so genuine with each other, it made our time there so worth it as we got some great shots of the sweet moments between the two.
They had such a fun wedding party!
