10 Minute Twins Shoot

Blake Beus | Saturday, March 27th, 2010

My wife was the first to find out that we were having twins.  She didn’t tell me for an entire week.  How ridiculous is that!?  A couple of days after she found out, we had a 4 day camping trip planned in the Uinta Mountains.  The whole week we were up there, she didn’t mention a word of it to me.  That’s impressive.  Apparently she wanted me to see the ultrasound that showed both babies.  Let’s just say that I was shocked, when I finally found out.

My twin girls turned 1 year old in February, and we decided to take them out for a photo shoot.   As  you have probably guessed from the title of this post, my girls would only stay still for about 10 minutes.  Even though the shoot was short, we had a lot of fun, and we were able to really capture their personalities.

WPPI Wedding Fashion Show Photography

Blake Beus | Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

We arrived home from WPPI late last week.  Since this was my first time going to WPPI and my second time going to Las Vegas, it was quite the experience.  For me, the best part about attending WPPI was spending 5 kid free days with my wife.  I absolutely love my 3 children, but this was the first time we had spent an extended period of time just as husband and wife since our first child was born about 4 years ago!

The first day we were in Vegas, my wife noticed that there was going to be a fashion show.  I told her I didn’t want to go.  Guys just don’t go to fashion shows, especially guys that grew up in a small farming community!  Everyone would think I’ve gone soft!  Well, I lost that argument, and I’m so glad that I did.  It ended up being one of my favorite events at WPPI.  Since I’ve never done runway photography, it was a fun challenge.  To make matters more interesting there were about 60 other photographers fighting for the best position to get pictures.

Here are some of my favorites.  Which do you like the best?

(Be sure to hover over the images with your mouse for my thoughts on the shot.)

Vandi’s Winter Bridal Photography: Star Valley Wyoming

Blake Beus | Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Was it brisk?  Yeah, it was really brisk, but I was prepared.  Gloves, hat, winter coat, hand warmers.  If you live in an area that gets snow, you know the drill. Who would go out unprepared?  I certainly wouldn’t.  Especially when the temperature gets down to the single digits.  You’d have to be a little bit crazy to go out in the cold in just a wedding gown.  Unless . . . you want to get some amazing winter wedding photos.

Vandi happens to be my little sister. People used to say that we look alike. I used to get offended and assume that I looked like a girl.  This is one of the reasons that you’ll often find me sporting some sort of facial hair now-a-days.  Even though she is already married, the fact that she never had bridals prompted this winter wedding photo shoot over our Christmas vacation in Star Valley.  It was literally so cold that we only spent about 30 minutes shooting pictures.  That was including time sitting in the constantly running car to warm up every few minutes.

We had a ton of fun, and captured some awesome images.

Speaking at the SLC SmugMug Meeting Tonight

Blake Beus | Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

Bryant and I are speaking at the SLC SmugMug meeting tonight at 7:00.  We are pretty darn excited that we will be speaking to a group of top notch photographers about ways to improve their online experience. I’m so glad that being a geek is in right now. Normally, when I start talking about web design, eyes start to glaze over, and people with diabetes go into insulin shock. However, I’m confident that we will be having a really fun time tonight. We have a really awesome presentation prepared and you are not going to want to miss it.

If you are interested in coming, you can RSVP on Facebook here.

Here are the full details:

Amy & Jeff’s Mayan Riviera Wedding in Cancun Mexico

Bryant Wimmer | Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

Well, here is our Cancun Mexico wedding shoot with Amy and Jeff. We had so much fun shooting in Mexico and made some wonderful friends. Jeff is an amazing home architect and has designed several homes for many of Hollywood’s elite. Amy is a real estate extraordinaire in St. George, UT, and happened to meet Jeff during the Parade of Homes (of which Jeff had designed several of the homes). The two are a fantastic couple and are so in love with each other. Here are some of my favorite shots of the weekend in Mexico. I can’t wait for the reception in April. Enjoy!
