This past September I was lucky enough to attend a wedding seminar in Las Vegas.  We took a little down time….and went to visit one of Nevada’s biggest ghost towns.  It was founded in 1904 and the last resident died in 1924. The buildings are original…and I loved the house built with 30,000  bottles (some medicine, but mostly beer bottles thrown away from the saloon) in 1906. It took only 5 1/2 months to build! I loved looking up the history on the old town….and ran into this site which gives you a tour and some old pictures from back in the day…. So I won’t bore you with the details…for those who care can check it out here…  http://www.rhyolitesite.com/index.html

Anyway, here are just a few of my favorites:

Ghost Town Rhyolite, NV

Most people I know would call me a wedding photographer. Of course I LOVE shooting weddings….but I also think that shooting other areas of photography (babies,  landscapes, entertainment, and commercial stuff)  makes me a BETTER wedding photographer! I don’t ever want to be the photographer that ‘knows it all.’ To me that means I’ve turned  into a stuffy old man, who dislikes his job, and only does it because it pays well.  And I never want to be ‘stuck’ in one way of shooting. I see it as an art, and I want to contiue to mold it with new ideas. Thats why I love taking seminars, reading books…and listening to the photographers I love talk about what inspires them. I guess, in a nutshell, it’s not about a girl and her camera….it’s about a way of life.

Anyway, I was doing some PC “cleaning” and ran into some images that I love.  So I thought over the next week or so, I’d showcase come stuff that doesn’t get enough “limelight”.

Back n November 2009 I photographed a friends band in New York. It was a great time….and here are a few of my faves….

Cya in a few days…

The Straight Up Dirties

Many of our brides ask us, “exactly what is a proof box?”

A proof box is…well, a box to put your proofs in…..  

But, I’ve decided that our proof boxes deserve a little more credit than that! They are beautiful..and uniquely yours.  Many of our brides are “scrappers” and love the fact that they can have their proofs to scrap with, but don’t have to bother with a proof album.

We also use these in the studio for family pictures, baby pictures, etc.

So if your looking for a unique box that will hold your treasured memories, then this box is for you! (and as a bonus, I always order the box a little bigger than then I need it to be….so that you can put in some of  your  own fav images as well!!

The Best In Wedding Photography&Entertainment!

Lyrical Lens Photography has been looking for a way to provide you with more than just artistic, creative, unique imagery of  your one of a kind day. We wanted to be able to help our clients with the biggest decisions that come with the planning of their wedding. To us, the first big decision is the photography….we got that covered. Unique, creative, with an artistic flare. (Not sure about that? Check out our new slide show!)

But, what is the next big decision to be made for a fantastic, unique event? The entertainment! We wanted to find a company that, shared the same goals as we do. To give the couple everything they dreamed of on their day. We wanted to find a company with a great personality, and is considerate enough to know where the bride is BEFORE they announce the  cake-cutting!  We wanted to find a company that was more than just  music. As far as we’re concerned, anyone can go into a room;  hook up some speakers, and play a list of songs. We wanted a company could keep the dance floor alive. Which, of course makes our job a lot easier! (If no one is on the dance floor, it is a lot harder to give you great reception images!)

DK Productions Entertainment, fits our criteria perfectly! They know how to make your event truly yours. So now you get the same unique, artistic imagery that Lyrical Lens has come to be known for,  plus now you can have great entertainment-all at the same time! Same consultation  time, same final planning time, anything we can do to help make planning your day a little less stressful! Contact us for special package information today!

PS-find us after you’ve already booked your entertainment? That’s okay! We are still taking on our own new clients as well! Contact us for info today!

AND Stay tuned for our bridal show schedule….because we’d love to meet you!

Jamie and Matt rank up there with our most fabulous couples!! Spending the day with them was more of a pleasure than a job!! The friendship and chemistry between them are what many couples hope for… Jamie was beautiful (of course), and just relaxed and enjoying her day! (which, is our favorite kind of bride!!) Matt always had a smile on his face, and could tell he was amazingly in love with Jamie. This kind of couple, combined with such a beautiful day…it’s every photographer’s dream! Thank-you for giving us the honor to spend such an amazing day with you both!!♥

We had a great day with Jamie and Justin…..even though it rained!  (We always feel for our couples when the weather dampens their plans!)  We made it through…and the wedding and reception were wonderful. They were a happy and fun couple….(our favorite kind!) Here’s a tiny taste of the day….after our couple views all their images, then I will post more!!
