Wedding Photography Slideshow Promo
Friday, September 12, 2008

Some of my latest work - I needed to post my latest weddings! So, I have some new work in the show as well.

I've also made myself a new: wordpress blog.
If you guys enjoy the show, save some cash. Here is a referral code: yoakbwuj

Enjoy! -Aaron

P.S. A show this long takes awhile to upload, even when the files are compressed for the web. The music is by Glasvegas, the song is Geraldine. I love it!

Shooting Everyday?
Monday, December 3, 2007

How do you make someone look frustrated?
Tell them everything they are doing is wrong. It worked!

Well, it's been a crazy few months since the Wedding Season ended. It's also been good thinking about Hallmark Institute of Photography and all the things I was doing this time last year.

It was great shooting summer weddings here in Bellingham, WA. It's been great shooting in the Fall and Winter as well!

Just on December 1st we had our FIRST snowfall of the winter. I got the most romantic shot with Mike and Nancy at their Wedding at the Beautiful Semiahmoo Resort.

I've also been busy shooting some Northwest commercial photography. Food and drinks, as well as products, architecture and some interior design stuff. All very exciting. Some of this is for Northwest Business Monthly and others are for the Best Western Lakeway Inn. I'd love to show it all, but here are a few!

Also, lots of portraits. Location Portraits. Now, here is some fun!
One thing to note...these were all done within either 3-5 shots. I use portable speed lights. They only took about 10 minutes! Talk about pressure.

All in all it has been quite a busy time of year. Best of luck to all current Hallmark Students and I hope all Hallmark Alumni are shooting it up!

Spring Break come back!
Tuesday, April 3, 2007

Ah, Spring Break was a great time to relax and have some time off.

I got a chance to meet with a new wedding client for September and also figured out some potential marketing techniques for this summer and into next years OneBloom Photography season.

I can't wait to get my Phase 4 Portfolio for the Hallmark Institute of Photography finished so I can get on with the rest of my photographic career! I have a lot of ideas so far and it's going to be a challenge I'm sure!

I did get a couple chances to shoot a few images over break! Here they are:

Boston Airport:

Wall of mirrors, I couldn't resist the colorful shoes being sold across the way!

Bellingham, WA:

I did some H.D.R. images here. Each image was a 5 exposure +/- 1 stop range with D200 using a Grad. ND Cokin Filter, Polarizer @ 18mm.

I also just photographed Dan and Karen's Wedding on March 31st! Congratulations to them both! Everything went great and it was a pleasure to be there! :-)
What a fun couple! I will be adding more pictures from this to my site soon.

Thanks guys, have a beautiful Spring! :-)
