This shot is my favorite from my session with Amy – the color and clarity are great for online use, but it stays interesting at larger sizes because of the changing focal plane. I “free lensed” to get the shifting focus effect (basically, holding the lens away from the camera at an angle and focusing manually).

It is a technique, in my opinion, with a very low hit rate – you just don’t get many photos that work compared to the number that are just blurry, or plain weird. But most interesting photos are the cumulative effect of low hit rates. To put it another way, with great risk comes great reward.

Kurt went to college at UW-Madison, so there were lots of people after my own heart.

The colors of the wedding were bright and vibrant, and it made for a wonderful summer feel.

After the ceremony, Kurt and Emily and I went to a local park in Spicer to take some photos with just the two of them. I am so happy for them that the weather was so nice!

 

And then onto the reception, where the cake looked gorgeous.
