I'm visiting Mexico March 16th through the 23rd. I turn 21 the 9th of this month. We should both have some pretty interesting photos at the end of this month.

Emily & Matt

02.16.10

With the harsh winter season upon us here in Minnesota, I was blessed enough to have a beautiful day to shoot these two. This house on a lake proved to be an awesome getaway, and both Matt and Emily were fun to work with.

Gene and Jill

Gene and Jill; Engagement at the Apple Orchard

Gene and Jill are two super great people, and I've known the both of them for quite some time. Even though they've been engaged since April we decided to patiently wait for fall just so we could shoot in prime time fall conditions at a favorite apple orchard of mine. Both Gene and Jill helped me in planning our photo outing, which I am most thankful for.

Gene is a fellow wedding photographer, you can see some of his killer work here. I'm looking forward to shooting these two again and their sweet wedding in June.

Royal T

12.21.09

Let me introduce you to a good friend of mine, Taylor Pemberton. I honestly can't say enough about how cool the kid is, even though I've only started to get to know him personally over the past month. Even though he's young, I admire his drive, genuine attitude, and mature thought process about the work and ideas he generates. He has finally launched his new blog and website, something that I've seen come together over the course of the past few weeks (even though he's been working on it longer) and I'm pumped to say you can view it here: ROYALT

Here's an excerpt on what he and RoyalT are all about:

"Royal T is a multi-disciplinary design outlet founded by Taylor C. Pemberton. Since 2005, Royal T has catered to several corporations, individuals, friends, and fellow artists over a variety of creative subsidiaries. Current specialization includes: branding & identity, typography, print, illustration, photography, multimedia, web, and more. Within our select creative network, Royal T has the ability to collaborate with a variety of talent to accompany any client request."

Taylor and I did this shoot a only about a week ago, hoping to squeeze something in with the short time he's been home doing work for renowned design agency Space150 and his ventures west before the holidays. The pictures are really just to show him in his element, being the cool dude that he is.

So don't forget to check out his work, maybe even tell him what you think! ROYALT

As for me, I'm working on creating a separate private gallery for certain projects I've worked on over the past few months, including personal ones (and possibly some of the architectural models I've been making for my undergrad). It will be great to link these galleries with my blog in order to give people an good way to see posts without having to scroll through pages or search a ton.

Christmas is on it's way, I'm super pumped to get some time away from work and architecture studio to spend time with my family and friends, not to mention my awesome girlfriend. It will also give me a chance to post some more things which are way overdue.

I hope everyone's holidays are shaping up to be awesome!

Spencer and Alexandra - Day After in San Diego

12.08.09

When my friends Spencer and Alex got engaged back in February, I couldn't have been any happier for them. Spencer and I have been great friends for over a year, and not only did I shoot their engagement pictures back in may (view it here) but I actually helped him plan his proposal and lived in the same house for a couple months leading up to his wedding. Over the summer months as you can guess, our friendship strengthened and became something I never would have guessed a year ago. Seeing him with Alex makes me ecstatic because the two just couldn't be more perfect for each other, in fact I don't think I've actually seen them without smiles when they are together.

Their wedding took place in San Diego, just south of La Jolla. It is here that myself and videographer Matt Brue from Capture Studios also did the day after shoot. Because I was apart of the wedding, I only shot a few moments of the actual day, which I hope to post eventually. Until then, enjoy these images from our afternoon along the Pacific Coast, and don't forget to check out Matt Brue's incredible video work.

One last thing, I've been shooting a ton of instant film lately, and shot through three packs while in San Diego. Here is a set from the day after, and one from Spencer and Alex's first meeting (you can see the actual scene in the video)

Love that cam!

Hi Collin - just saw your comment on Totally Rad's site and thought it was hilarious - so I thought I'd check out your stuff. I like your style. I recognized a lot of these locations since I grew up in North County. Great work!
