Art House North

Last week I had the opportunity to photograph the opening of Art House North, (www.arthousenorth.com)  an amazing place started to encourage and support the community of the arts.  Art House North will be in the care of singer/songwriter Sara Groves along with her husband Troy (saragroves.com).  Their pursuit of social justice locally and across the world has been truly inspiring to me, and their music has been a part of my life for almost as long as I can remember.  Also a part of the grand opening was a great old friend of mine,  singer/songwriter  Melody Olson (www.melodyolson.com)...Singer/songwriter Ben Rosenbush from Ben Rosenbush and The Brighton (www.benrosenbush.com) as well as Grammy award winning producer/singer/songwriter Charlie Peacock (www.charliepeacock.com)  The idea of Art House North really comes down to who we are, how we live, and how that affects the people and world around us, and OUR responsibility to those we come in contact with and our world.  For more information please visit www.arthousenorth.com .

McKaela and Greg

So last January I had the privilege of traveling to Mexico to shoot McKaela and Greg's wedding...what else can I say about this couple other than, THEY ARE AMAZING!  Their positivity and energy is contagious and they absolutely are a blast to be around.  This wedding was beautiful not because of the location...but because of the people involved.  Everyone from the parents to the bridal party and guests were there to enjoy themselves and celebrate with Greg and McKaela...and that's what happened!  I can't say enough about these two.  We had amazing weather for every day we were there...except the day of the wedding!  We all woke up with the rain and clouds and I think expected it to give way to the sun eventually, but mother nature had other plans.  But these two didn't let it ruin their amazing wedding day!  Any other bride would have been balling her eyes out if her dream beach wedding had been rained out, but not McKaela.  She stayed positive and willing to do anything and everything we wanted to try for photos that day, which gave me life and energy!  So McKaela and Greg, thanks for allowing me to shoot your wedding and be a part of your day!  Love you guys and wish you all the best in the many years to come of your marriage!
