The Yentzen Wedding Last weekend we shot two weddings, and as promised here are the images. I say we, because as you may or may not know there are now two full time photographers here to serve our clients. So, from now on I am going to try and separate my blog entries into two [...]

It’s a long night for me. Just got home from a wedding and it is 12:55 am. Before I go to bed I have to get my images downloaded and backed up. My rechargeable camera and flash batteries need to be recharged as Liz and I have to be back at the studio at 11:30 [...]

It is important that I surround myself with good people as my business grows. Liz Bandy is the latest example of that rule. As the popularity of the studio grows, so do the number of wedding inquiries. Keeping as busy as I do, I find that I must refer out many inquiries as I am [...]

Normally the images I like to display online are dramatic and moody. But today I will be giving you a bit more fun. There is still some drama at the brides house, and at the church during the ceremony, but mostly the entire day of shooting was one long party. Enjoy. Aric C. Hoek – [...]

Well, I haven’t made an entry in a few days as we have been really busy here. I think I have enough entries to do one a day now for about three weeks though. So let the writing begin! I figure it will be best to continue where I left off, and that is with [...]
