Summer hit full force in July. Today is the last day of the month and I’m still a little dazed with all that’s happened the past 3 weeks. It started with my 07/07/07 wedding. Two days later, we drove to Seaside, Oregon for a week long family vacation. This is an annual tradition for us,…

Imagine getting married at a historic house, built in 1851 as a wedding gift. This was the spectacular setting that Hannah and Trent selected for their wedding on June 23rd, 2007. The Ainsworth House and Gardens, located in historic Oregon City, are nestled in a residential neighborhood on two acres of property. A beautiful setting…

great concept and execution. how many shots of each individual (roughly) do you think you snapped during that 5 minute frame to comprise the image you assembled?
Thanks Tiny Elvis for stopping by and sharing your comments. I took approximately 3-5 images of each person, not a lot. This whole sequence was executed in minutes. There never is enough time on a wedding day to fine tune images. You have to previsualize the moment and be ready when the time is right. It’s always a matter of seconds…

I love the mismatched stripe.
How come you always set the bar so high? ;0)
