Kiley + Jeremy | Married

Our time was up and the wedding was coming to an end…  I was actually a little sad to leave the reception after spending so much time with newly-weds Kiley and Jeremy.

In fact, their engagement was the first session that my girlfriend Sky and I shot together!  They chose a location just west of the city where they could include their horses  in the engagements… I’m quite happy with the way everything turned out!

First up:  Engagement session

Okay, enough of that…  I’m too anxious to move on!  Fast forward to Kiley’s bridal session downtown!

Alright, Wedding time!  Reception held at the Palace Event Center in Yukon, OK.  Check them out!

As much as I would like to ‘introduce’ all the pictures and give them all their own caption, I’ll just let them speak for themselves…  After all, this IS a PHOTO blog. ;)

Karli + Luke | Fall Engagement Preview

I was happy to get in a legitimate “Fall” photo shoot before the inevitable first frost of winter hit… and boy did it hit quick.  Thanks to Karli and Luke for putting up with me as I dragged the two of them all across town to find the right ‘spot’! haha.

So here it is, a preview of Karli and Luke’s Fall engagement session!  :)

Jessica + Parker | Engagement preview

From the first time I met Jessica and Parker together, I knew we would have a great time  hanging out during our photo shoots!  Once they quoted the Old Gregg video, it was official…  I’m definitely happy they chose me for their engagement and wedding photos.

Here’s a quick preview of some recent shots we took!  Since Parker works for the Weatherford Fire Dept., it was obvious we needed to shoot with a giant yellow truck.

December 11, 2011 - 1:44 pm nicole - Beautiful pictures, but I had to comment about the "old greg" remark.... I was sent his first video by a friend years ago and thought.... what the heck! Then it just grows on you lol So nice to see I'm not the only crazy one that loves it lol! Great work!

Something a little different | Videojournalism

Usually I post about engagements, weddings, cool photog realted stuff… Today I thought I’d post about what I REALLY love to do which is photo and video journalism!

In case you haven’t heard or, in fact, you live under a rock, there are some massive protests going on referred to as the Occupy Wall Street movement.
Most of the larger populated cities around the country have protesters out every day and night supporting what they believe is right.  Now, as a media journalist, I am not one to choose favorites as far as which side is right.
Basically, I keep my mouth shut and stay out of it.  If anyone asks, I say, “I am a non-biased mediator!”. ;)

For the last week, these protests have hit very close to home… Literally.
The Occupy Tulsa protests have recently gotten a little heated ever since the use of pepper spray by the Tulsa Police Dept. (TPD) during a non-violent protest last week.  I decided I would make the short (1.5 hour) drive up to Tulsa to see for my self exactly what is going on there.  So I packed my video gear and headed out!

She said yes! | Surprise Proposal

Jeremy + Cheri

Jeremy contacts me a few weeks ago about his surprise proposal plan he had in the works.  He asked if I would like to be there to capture the moment she would presumably say yes.
This would be my first time sitting in on someone else’s proposal, so, without hesitation, I said “of course!”.

I remember when Cheri moved here from Elk City.  It took a little time to find Jeremy, but when she did, I could tell it was a great match.
Jeremy is definitely a cool guy and a good friend.  I’m happy he asked me to be a part of such an important moment in each of their lives!

I’ll let the photos tell most of this story.

Leslie + Kris | Cinematic Wedding Highlights

I had a great time shooting this for Leslie and Kris!  These two definitely make a unique couple.  The ceremony was actually held at the courthouse and I decided to leave those clips out of this highlight video.  Once we got back to the club house at Cobblestone it was straight into cocktail hour prior to the main reception.

I teamed up with Sky on this one so the photography portion was well covered.  If your’e interested in photography and cinematography at your wedding, give us a shout!

On the set | Documentary Filmmaking

 

[JAN 30th, 2012 UPDATE!  Filming is finished! New post coming soon!]

Today was the first day of shooting for a series of short documentaries directed and produced by yours truly.

This first film focuses on a free-spirited man who runs an old school screen-printing shop in the heart of an urban sprawl in downtown Oklahoma City.  His personality leaves little to the imagination. :)

Meet Jeff… and ‘dog’.

Here, Jeff and I discussed shooting dates/times and figured out the logistical [stuff].

Some shots around the shop.

I went ahead and threw some clips together and thought I’d share some screen shots.

Right now, I’m working on a short trailer to post so you can get a glimpse of what I’m working on!

Takin’ it back to the old school | Polaroid

It sure seems that I have been bitten by the vintage bug because all I can think about is shooting around with some of my older film cameras!

Who can forget the Polaroid 600??

I managed to find some film locally (it nearly cost me the shirt off my back), but I new a certain someone would appreciate it. :)

You can find 8 exposure film online from stores like Photojojo.  I could spend about an hour looking at cool stuff here.. ;)

I wanted this to be a ‘Thursday’ surprise… So, at the last minute, I used my Wendy’s bag to wrap the film!

All in all, this was a great success and one heck of lame-day picker-upper!

 

Happy Thursday Sky. :)
