Paddack Photography

I shot Katie and Dave’s wedding last October at James Arthur Vineyard just outside Lincoln, NE. The couple got married a few months earlier and decided to do a small ceremony with friends and family. Katie told me in our first meeting there was one thing she had to have and that was great portraits. It was a pretty cold day but they braved the cold and I think we achieved our goal.

Last week I was in Vegas at WPPI. The worlds largest wedding and portrait photographer convention and trade show. One of the nights I went out with a friend Victor Sizemore to a shoot he had planned in the desert. The shoot was styled by another friend from high school - Grey Likes Weddings. It’s not what I normally do… you know shooting models in a dry lake bed in the middle of the desert. But if you’ve read my blog in the past you know that I believe it is important to step out and stretch yourself as a photographer if you are going to continue to grow. Here are a few from the shoot.

In January I had the opportunity to travel to Dallas and shoot Taylor and Amanda’s wedding. I was second shooting with my closest friend Michael Norwood. Its good to have friends who are some of the best in the business. Check out Michael’s work at www.mnpblog.com.

Here are some of my favorites from their wedding.

Apparently its a tradition amongst Taylor’s friends to give the groom a little beat down before leaving for the night. This shot was just after he broke free.

Here are some shots from the PhotoBooth we did at the reception.
