Wedding shoot Ben + Aubrey

A very "cool" outdoor wedding January 31, 2010.

We got to know Ben + Aubrey during an engagement shoot in Winter Park. A fun, full of energy, couple that were willing to do whatever it took to get the shot (we even caught them kissing..in the fountain). This wedding was a beautiful day at various locations like Gemini Springs, and a cute reception in downtown Sanford. Here are a few shots of the beginning of the day.

Montauk Lighthouse, Long Island

A day trip to the end of Long Island. I passed through the cute little towns of the Hamptons and then through the north east end of the island to arrive at Montauk point. It was cold and windy and the lighthouse was closed for tourists for the season. I decided to get a few shots from the beach. After shooting a few angles and my fingers needed warming, I noticed a few surfers out catching some waves. I wonder the thickness of their wetsuits, been there, not done L.I.!!

I need to come back here in the summer!

Citrus Club - Bridal Crawl

A few elements of the Citrus Clubs - Orlando Bridal Crawl. Bridal extraordinaire Susie Wiess of Wonderful Weddings headed up the elite vendor list, followed by some amazing table settings by Florish and equally amazing menus, cards and private labeled paper products by Darcy Sang of Pearl Beach Paperie. Schuyler Osbourne of Perfect Sky Productions was also shooting some gorgeous HD footage of the event, can't wait for the movie...I will take my nomination as best supporting actor!

Aubrey+Ben, an engagement shoot

A wonderful November night in Winter Park with a fun couple.
We shot at various locations and had a great time with Aubrey and Ben. A bonus was when we arrived at one of our favorite fountains, and to our shock, someone had put soap in it and it was totally full of bubbles. Aubry being such a great sport did what any professional would do, she jumped in! Those photos to come! Here is a sample of the day in the mean time.

Kristine + Jeff, A Day Out

The day is almost here for Jeff & Kristine (November 7)

This was a belated engagement shoot for the couple.

Locations varied from Ft. Lauderdale to DelRay Beach.

Shot on a Sony FX1 with the GlideCam 4000, a glide track.

Lots of fun, and some cool locations.

United Way Campaign Launch

This was a collaboration of many local leaders and faces in Orlando. The idea was to deliver a message "one voice" and when we all work together, what great things that can be achieved. The testimonials were from 211 callers, a fantastic service for helping the community. This was a great shoot, and I enjoyed meeting and interviewing everyone involved. Thanks Jerry for some footage as well as thank you all the local channels and their anchors for contributing footage. A special thanks to Channel 9 for letting us take over their soundstage for two days.

Ormond Beach Family Reunion

A nice week at the Beach with Wendy's side of the family.

Still waiting for Jack (her dad) to try out longboarding.

I am branding a new company this and last week. LMS Solutions. Site is currently being developed too. Here is what they do:

"LMS Solutions is a full service Consumer Products consulting company. We handle licensing initiatives, both inbound and outbound; merchandising strategies, including retail operations; and sponsorships programs, including strategic alliances."

It is a fun ongoing project and a great guy named Doug Mangino, can't go wrong with a name like that!

Florida based and Nationally recognized.

Pixel 1080

We are launching a new company called Pixel1080. You know the square micro light up in the far top right of your screen. It's a video thing I guess.

This company will represent the corporate and commercial market.

The company's focus will be from concept design to CBTs (Computer Based Training) to commercials and television.

We mulled over names and imagery and concluded with this design. In a nut shell: If you utilize the theory of additive color and overlaying RGB elements it creates a white pixel! Yeah, nerd speak but cool concept.

Leave your thoughts.

P.S. We = C. Douglas Howard & Schuyler Osborne - principals
