Album Style // Leather Craftsmen

Album Design season has been in full swing since late fall when weddings wrapped up and we have been so excited to deliver many finished products into our clients living rooms. To me, this is really the culmination of all our work from planning to shooting, then editing and working meticulously with clients to get the perfect album. (This is where we spend way more than half the work in a wedding) Without this finished product, I really think people would miss out on such a tangible, quality work of art that is available from their portraits and event photos.

This is just one of the many we have produced that we recently delivered and I wanted to show you one of my favorite new styles in both cover choice and design. The cover is Japanese Book Cloth in black. names are blind embossed in the cover with a flush inset photo welcoming a viewer into the album. Our designs are intended to be modern and stylish yet timeless. The last thing we would want is for you to love it today and get tired of the layout with any trendy gimmicks that will soon tire. I really believe the quality of the construction and style of design is an integral part of the whole package!

The construction of these books, by Leather Craftsmen, is literally top of the line. I go every year to an international trade show and while I love to explore other options and do add other companies to the line of available products, I always am impressed with the enduring quality and even the updated options that LC offers. And my clients sincerely have loved them.

Red primesteak // Event Space Opening

I had the priveledge of photographing the opening of Red primesteak's event space opening tonight and the event was ultra stylish.
Heather and Keith Paul, the owners, and the catering and event manager, Kindt Myers, showed us what it would feel like to have a party inside a champagne glass with the amber bubble lighting (awesome idea huh?) (IES Events Lighting). (BTW, besides being some of the best in the business, these are some of my favorite people to work with regularly throughout the year at some of Oklahoma's premier events!)

Here is a quick preview. Many more photos to come!

Oklahoma City Skirvin Wedding // Lindsay & Mike // 12.19.09

Venue: The Skirvin Hilton Hotel
Coordinator: Judy Lehmbeck
Cake: Amy Cakes

This was an awesome moment. Mike said "I have played in OU football games before 75,000 people, been before a national audience and lots of other high pressure situations, and I never got emotional. When I saw her coming down the stairs, I just lost it!"

The Ladies man here is Mike's dad, Heisman Trophy winner, Steven Owens. The ladies are his granddaughters, her friends and his dancin' machine wife!! Ha! They were the life of the dance party!

Anthony David Agency | Model Shoot

We had three of Anthony David Agency's new models in for a mini portfolio shoot last month and here are the goods.

There are several more great shots to come sometime soon but these are their choices to add to their respective portfolios.
We were shooting for two different looks so we did a stylin headshot type look and a creative personality look.

Heather Rouba, (Mrs Oklahoma 2009) has been coordinating the shoots and coaching the models as the new agency director. She has some amazing talent herself and in who she is working with.
(see some images of her in the previous fashion/ modeling post below)
