Well, it has been a long time since I have posted on Xanga. The whole facebook thing has taken over, even though I don't use that much either. My last post was back in October of last year!! WOW!! Now that I think back, a TON of things have changed!

1. We bought a house.
2. We?! Yes, I am engaged...forced to propose and now I am getting married next year. LOL, ok I wasn't forced....haha I choose to propose =P
3. I earned a master degree.
4. I still take pictures, but not as much. All the weddings have burned me out. I now don't take wedding photos anymore unless they are a close friend of mine. Trying to get back in to photography as a hobby, not a job.
5. I will be in Disney World next week! WOOHOOO!!
6. I will be posting photos soon of the past weddings I have covered....maybe now =P

ok...just a teaser from two weddings.

Begging for forgiveness! This is what happens when you get married....guys =P

Beautiful couple. She is actually one of my classmates from grad school.

Love is in the Air!

SPECIAL OFFER!!!

I am currently shooting Weddings for FREE. Thats right FREE!! Don't feel bad to ask me!

Please let me know when the wedding is at least a quarter to a year in advance. I have already a couple of weddings lined up next year, so the earlier the better.

Weddings packages include all day shooting including wedding, reception, rehersals, engagement shots, web gallery for you and your guest, and a slide show.

I can do albums and printing too, but that will be at your cost =)

Check out my wedding portfolio at:

Demo slide show at:

http://photo.ihostar.com/weddings/patrickandjenny/
(Give this some time to load....large file.)

Only one thing, I do required that I get fed during the wedding, maybe up to two meals if I have an assistant. =P

My style is photo-journalistic, at least I try to make it to be. I want to tell a story about your wedding, capture your personalities, the emotions, the life, the love, and the moment you will cherish forever.

Take up the limited offer now, before it expires!! I will only be taking in limited weddings, due to my graduate school work load and my teaching workload (yes teacher have a lot fo work). This is on a first come first serve basis.

This picture says it all....

BTW.....the answer to the last post is yeah it is a FISHEYE!!! Sigma 15mm/2.8 Fisheye

The distortion isn't that great because my camera has a 1.5 crop factor. But it has enough of the effect that I want. In fact the picture above was taken with the fish eye too!!

Its my early bday present from Amy. =) wooohooo!!

Peace out.....Dolphin watching tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you tell what kind of lens I am using?!
