DIY Beauty Dish

I recently have been loving the Strobist blog.  Not only does it have great tips for lighting with on camera flashes, but it also outlines how to make your own light shaping equipment.  So far I have made a grid spot and a 14" beauty dish.  

Above is an example of light from the beauty dish. and below are examples of my "home-made-unknown-value-gridspot."

Varsity Theater Makes a Couple Out Em'

Last weekend I shoot the Ricci wedding, it was a blast on many levels. first of all I knew one of the bridesmaids, and lets just say she is a crazy cat lady.  Secondly the reception was held in the varsity theater, in dinkytown Minneapolis. Which is where my fiance and I have chosen to hold our reception.  It was really cool to see how the entire night will look for us next year.  Invitations coming soon.

Here are a few mash ups I was playing with.  Hopefully the couple likes them.
