Boise Wedding Photographer | Stacey + Josh

It was FREEZING (capitalized for emphasis) for Stacey and Josh’s wedding at Kathryn Albertson’s Park in Boise. One lucky thing is that I don’t notice temperature when I’ve got a camera in my hand, so I did just fine photographing their wedding, well until I got into my car and realized HOW ABSOLUTELY FREEZING I WAS!!!!

I admire the connection Stacey and Josh have. This was a wedding that I photographed for Simply Eloped, so I didn’t meet Stacey and Josh until their wedding day, but even though I only spent two hours with them, their connection was tangibly strong, I can see that they’ve been through a lot together and know that they’ll continue to go through a lot together. I love some of the moments you’ll see with their kids in the photos below. I know how wild and joyful family life is, and I get a lot of meaning from documenting these beautiful moments.

I’ve really enjoyed photographing weddings for Simply Eloped and seeing the model they use, they are a super legit business that does an insane amount of elopements all over the country every year, and they’re located here in Boise. I’m moving my business into a similar type of model so I’ve enjoyed experiencing how they operate and run things, they’ve got a lot of things figured out that I’m learning along the way.

Here’s the equipment I used on this shoot:

Canon EOS R

Canon 50mm F1.2L

Canon 35mm F1.4L

Canon 85mm F1.2L

Canon 24mm f1.4L

Prograde 128gb SD Card

Shootsac

How to Get Photos in Focus | Photography Tips

It's so frustrating to think your photos are in focus out in the field, get back to your computer, pull them up on the big screen and see that they're out of focus. I've spent twelve years as a full-time professional photographer and this video shows the technique I use for consistently and confidently getting my photos in focus.

I cover the technique use both for the Canon 5D Mk III and the Canon EOS R, as well as the general best case practice for getting your photos in focus.

For this video I used my iPhone XS, Smove Mobile Gimbal, Videoleap + Rotate Flip Video, the audio was just recorded on my iPhone XS (which is why it’s not incredible, but it’s good enough) for lighting I used the headlights on my car, because it was the only light source I had.

Happy Thanksgiving.
