Christmas gifts and mountain weddings
2010 is really shaping out to be an amazing year and I can't recall having this much optimism and excitement this early!
On Sunday, Sarah and I will be at Mount Charleston Resort to shoot our first wedding of 2010 with Natasha and Jonny and we're going to make use of one of our favorite Christmas gifts of all time!
Melissa and Dwight, two of our favorite clients, sent us two pairs of these amazing gloves as Christmas presents: Freehands
Not only was this one of the most touching gestures ever, it literally changes the way we shoot in the cold! During their shoot my hands became so cold that, towards the end of the evening I had difficulty holding onto the camera, let alone nimbly operating the tiny switches and buttons.
In the past, I've tried thin gloves and fingerless gloves, but they all either lacked the grip to hold onto six or so pounds of camera, flash, lens, bracket, etc or lacked the proper thermal insulation, so I've been gloveless throughout 2009.
The Freehands gloves are made specifically for electronics users and have 'convertible' forefinger and thumbs that give you the fine motor skills to text message or work a camera and the palm side has rubber grips that keep me from dropping $7,000 worth of gear or missing an important shot.
Mount Charleston is typically around 15-20 degrees colder than the valley, so we're sure to see lots of snow and have some fun ideas that I'm excited to implement. This is one of those shoots where my mind is exploding with anticipation in the weeks leading up to it.
Natasha and Jonny are wonderful together, with innocent and natural interactions that bring a smile to my face whenever I see them. I expect that we're going to have some amazing photojournalistic portraits and I can't wait to share them!
Below are a few pics from their engagement shoot (which we also did at Mount Charleston). Shots like this make me want to add a large caption that says "THIS is Las Vegas".
