mae & enoch magazine

recently i had the pleasure and the privilege of shooting the mae show for enoch magazine. enoch is a budding music and entertainment online magazine that has covered all kinds of shows, and a few crazy guys' trip to live on skid row for a few weeks. i love their passion and committment to pushing the envelope a little bit when it comes to living in a radically different way than what our culture dictates, so when nate asked if i would go to lawrence to shoot the mae show, i was thrilled. not only does mae put on a fantastic show, they, like me, are from virginia, which automatically steps them up quite a few notches in my book!



hanging out before they play...the walls in the upstairs room were fantastically photogenic.









i didn't mean to do this, but when i was looking through my shots from the evening, i noticed these three photos and thought they made a pretty cool set...

to promote donations towards a project they are doing for habitat for humanity, the guys of mae played a special acoustic set for anyone who donated money to habitat for humanity at the show. i was especially a fan of the water jug drum.

zac & tiffany

i haven't blogged anything in an eternity, but that doesn't mean i haven't been shooting. i've just been to busy to blog! have no fear though, i'm back, and i think i may have outdone myself on these photos. it's always a really special thing when one of your good friends finds love. for me, this engagement session was precious for that reason. zac and i have been friends for a very long time, and seen each other through good and bad relationships, so it's an honor to be the photographer that he and his fiance, tiffany chose to do their wedding and engagement photos. i had so many favorites, but unfortunately there isn't enough room to post them all! here are a few of my best...






zac and tiffany are dancers, like me, so we had to try something in the post world war II style since we all love swing... this is my absolute favorite.

if you want to see the rest of the photos from their engagement session, i had to post them on my flickr site. you can check them out at www.flickr.com/photos/simplysavvy.
