We are super excited to share our wedding video shot by our friends at Lumiere Bridal. It is still amazing to me that Jonathan's old camera can catch all of this as you see. Truly Amazing!

Because this is the height of wedding season, we took some time today to catch up on our blog!
On most days, I do feel like a superhero. With 8 kids (including Jody), a full-time business, and one cat named Zen, it is hard to imagine I would have time for anything extra. I still feel this drive inside to become more. I like to feel multi-dimensional. I think I really do thrive on stress. That is why I am proud to say I love triathlon! It's the craziest sport I've ever heard of. Swim 1/2 mile in cold lake water, bike 12 miles across I-90, and run a 5k (3.1 miles). Everything is timed, included the in-between transitions of changing shoes, racking bikes, etc. Yesterday's Seattle Danskin was my second tri. Jody lovingly got up at 5:30 a.m. (obtained a press pass and all!), to photograph me in the midst of the 4,000 women competing. I really had a blast, and I greatly improved upon my time from the first tri. Can't wait to do another!
The two photos of Jody were taken by one of our associates, Andy Lin, who was there photographing his girlfriend competing.
If you read the last entry on our BLOG, then you got to look at these photos! Oh and I threw in a happy pic from the end of the night, just so we leave on a good note! J
Our trip back east a couple of weeks ago was so much fun. Jen and I got to explore New York, Boston and Rhode Island all in one trip. Dawn and Derek's wedding was in Newport, R.I. It was our first time shooting in R.I. and it was humid. The couple was fun, open to our ideas and the day just flew by. Jen and I split in in the morning so she could be with the girls and me with the guys. About an hour into the morning with the guys, I spotted some railroad tracks near the water and I asked them to follow my car so we could find easy access to the tracks. We finally did, and as you can see I got some great shots of the groomsmen walking. I told the guys to stay on the tracks while I went down below to shoot them from a different angle. What happened next I will never forget. Since the trains back east run on electricity, they are quite and fast. All the sudden a groomsman heard the buzzing of the electricity and before they could even say TRAIN! it bared down on them at nearly 80 mile per hour as they all dove off the tracks. It was a near miss and act of god that there was not a collision. It happened so sudden that I was speechless for almost an hour, I mean what could I possible say at that point other than "oops". It was a scary moment but makes for a great story now and one that I am sure they will never forget. The rest of the day went safely and we got some awesome shots. -Cheers, Jody
