Multiple Musings

Here are some happy experiments with Multiple exposure.
This one I love. Ben and the seedpod, Kind of like James and the Giant Peach :)



This one is a multiple exposure laid on top of a single exposure. I shot the sign at one car lot, with a lot of negative space in the sky, and then shot a multiple exposure of this great tinsel-like stuff at another car lot.

I got another roll back from that first week when I got my holga.
the black and white is eerie, eh?

Holly and David

I usually limit myself to 20 pictures or less for each wedding post, but, since this was my last wedding of 2007, I decided to slack on the self-restraint. So here is an extra long post for some wonderful friends, David and Holly.
Winter, and Christmas time specifically, is really special to these two. When we first met, they said that some of the most influential times in their relationship have been around the holidays. So, when they woke up with a blizzard on their wedding day, they were thrilled :)
Here is a glimpse into their day...

the wedding party was so fun! They braved the cold for some beautiful pictures out in the bright white snow


Erin took this one. Isn't it great?


This was by far one of my favorite moments of the day. David really wanted to see Holly for the first time at the end of the aisle, but he asked if they could just be together briefly without seeing eachother. There was so much energy bouncing between them. Great moment.



Here is another powerful one by Erin- Holly and her dad just before the doors opened














...and finally, I love this picture...Holly's dad in the background- I think a beautiful illustration of sending off his daughter to a new stage in life.


Congratulations you two!

Scarlett Garnet and Janay A Handmade

Last Monday I had the pleasure of shooting the latest creations of a few of the most talented upcoming designers here in Kansas City. Scarlett Garnet (http://www.scarlettgarnet.com/), and Janay A Handmade (http://www.myspace.com/abstractpretty) have collaborated to bring custom jewelry, veils, and wedding gown seperates to brides that are looking for something custom and handmade for their wedding. On Thursday February 7th, I will be hosting an event at the Wirken Photography studio to show off these ladies' wonderful creations. Come from 5:30 to 7:30 to talk to Garnet and Katie about creating custom jewelry pieces for you and/or your bridesmaids (or bring your significant other to give them a wishlist for Valentine's Day), and see Janay's cutting edge veils, clothing, and bags. Or come just to sip champagne and meet these talented artists. For more information, email me at becca@wirkenphoto.com.
Here are a few of my favorite images from the shoot.
