Shooting with David Jay

This past Saturday I had the phattest time shooting with the fabulous David Jay. I always love hanging out with him because he’s such an inspiration and has this amazing personality. He’s like a magnet that people can’t help be drawn to…I truly believe it’s what makes him so unfathomably successful. And it's still so hard for me to believe that just two years ago, David photographed my wedding…and now we're shooting together!?! Life is sweet.

The day was even better because we were joined by the awesome Brett Austin (videographer extraordinaire) and the lovely Kimberlee West. I’ll be blogging images from the wedding tomorrow, but as I was editing today, I came across these little photo gems. Because I’m so used to photographing JD when we shoot together, I can’t help shooting whoever I’m shooting with. I love catching photographers in action…but don’t worry, I saved all the ugly pictures to be used as blackmail should the need ever arise! 😉

Here's DJ shooting the bride…in the foreground is his computer…he was streaming the shoot live to over 50 viewers! 🙂

And this is the lens DJ was shooting with….good grief…I was soooo envious. The Bible teaches not to covet…so I guess that means I was total sinner because I totally coveted this lens!! Celebrity photographer, Denis Reggie gave DJ the lens last week. Kinda makes me wish Denis and I were friends…I totally would have talked him out of giving the 50mm, 1.0 lens to DJ and given it to me! 😉

Kimberlee in action…

Here I am…with DJ's arm totally ruining my picture… 😉

The uber fun Tricia from Hidden Garden provided the florals as well as acted as the wedding coordinator…she's SO awesome!! If there's a bride looking for a coordinator, definitely check her out! 🙂
