Photogen Inc Music Video // Immabe from capture studios on Vimeo.
WE MADE A MUSIC VIDEO!!!!!
Jeffrey and I had an idea in our head for QUITE some time now about making a music video to Imma Be by the Black Eyed Peas! The lyrics to this song are SO perfect for the photo industry, and also our personal goals for the future!
We're the shit baby, check us out.
I must say, we've got some swagger!
An ENORMOUS THANK YOU to the brilliantly cool Matt & Ty of Capture Studios for filming & producing the video for us!

(04.27.10 @ 08:21 AM)This couple's ceremony took place in the Dowling Studio at the Guthrie Theater, which is where the couple first met! It was hands down, the most emotional ceremony I've ever seen! The tears were flowing, but they were absolutely tears of pure joy. Brandyn and Mario have a love that is Giving, Real and as Passionate as they come.
This wedding was a true celebration of Life, Family and Friends! Without further adieu...
Ceremony: Guthrie Theater
Reception: Bar Lurcat
Dress: Joynoelle
Shoes: Chanel
His Ring: Studio Vincent
Congratulations to Brandyn and Mario! Let the party begin!
LOVEe
Just for the record, you officially hold the following title for me: MY FAVORITE WEDDING PHOTOG EVER! Amazing work e! Love it all...and I'm sure this couple will be so incredibly thankful for the photographs you took capturing their day!
(04.18.10 @ 11:39 AM)So flippin AWESOME! I hope how your eye see's things! Super cool!!
(04.19.10 @ 07:27 PM)so, so good! i am kind of obsessed with your work.
(04.20.10 @ 11:45 PM)Wow!!! The look and feel of these are amazing, you can feel the emotion lift off the screen.
(06.18.10 @ 04:00 PM)A few weeks ago, I received an e-mail from a girl named Tara. In that letter, she asked me to photograph her final Collection for her graduate program at Parsons (yes, like project runway Parsons...only real students are even more bad-ass!) The hitch was that she was in NYC, I was in MPLS and her deadline was in a week and a half. She sent me a link with some cell-phone-shots of her dresses and my jaw dropped. I knew that I needed to do absolutely everything I could to photograph this amazing pieces of art! The universe came together for us and it just so happened I was going to be in NYC that coming weekend, so we started planning our last-minute shoot!
The best part about my job is this sense of collaboration I get from working with other artists. It's amazing to just create with other amazing people who also have a vision. Tara really gave me free reign at the shoot and everything just simply fell into place! Before the day was done, I knew I wanted these images to be shared with the world and be published . 1) I wanted people to find/know/experience Tara and her beautiful collection. 2) I think these images are fucking amazing and I am way too excited about the whole project to NOT share this with you!
Through our conversations, I really began to respect Tara even more. She is on a mission to 'Revolutionize' the wedding industry and I absolutely believe she will do this!
A special THANK YOU to the Wedding Chicks for publishing this spread on their blog and sharing this with the world! Check out their review + Post HERE! (And we would love to hear your comments on the spread + designs overall!)
Here's a look at all of our original spreads! Please head over to the Wedding Chicks blog to see more photos + behind-the-scenes sketches from Ms. LaTour!
Here's to being remarkable!
LOVEe
It was such a gift to be able to witness this shoot as it unfolded. Nothing but love for your crew and Tara. I can't wait to say "I knew that girl before she was FAMOUS!".

(07.15.10 @ 02:49 PM)sorry for the post over and over, it kept giving me an error. what about the copyright of the song?
(07.15.10 @ 02:57 PM)Ok, so your wanting to be professional photographers, tell me, would you be mad when someone steals your pictures for their own use.
(07.16.10 @ 09:55 PM)I ask because you seem to have no problem stealing from a popular band.
Don't worry, I work with them daily, I will go ahead and let them know, I sure they will have no problem with you stealing from them.
