Charlie & Chelsea | Wedding

November 2, 2010 | Filed Under Wedding | 1 Comment

Charlie and Chelsea were married a few months ago at the historic Arrowhead Springs Resort (a favorite getaway for Humphrey Bogart, Judy Garland & others). The day was truly wonderful. Not only was the love between Charlie and Chelsea evident, but you could definitely see how much their friends and family care for them.

Chelsea picked this date to get married as it is the wedding anniversary for both her parents and grandparents. Three generations celebrating their anniversary on one day; how great is that?

Without further ado, here are some of my favorite images. Check out the preview post from a few days ago for others. A highlight gallery is available on Facebook. The full gallery of images can be viewed on my website. Enter the password “Jones” to gain access.

Chelsea had an absolutely wonderful wedding day at the historic Arrowhead Springs Resort. The rest of the images are almost done and will be online next week, but this wedding deserves to be shared before then. Here are ten preview images to give you a little sample of their special day.

Charlie & Chelsea | Engagement

August 5, 2010 | Filed Under Engagement | Leave a Comment

By the time we met, Charlie & Chelsea had already taken some engagement photos, so they decided for our shoot we would do the next logical thing – put them in full wedding attire and go horseback riding and wake boarding. Yes, you read that right. Now ladies, don’t worry, this isn’t Chelsea’s actual wedding gown, she works in the industry and snagged this one for real cheap. Charlie looks pretty darn good in his $12 thrift store tuxedo too.

This was probably the craziest shoot I’ve ever done, and I can’t wait till their wedding in September. They’re doing it big, and they’re doing it right. I’d tell you about it, but I don’t want to ruin the surprise. Let’s just say I’m already excited to shoot it.

Here’s a few of my favorites, for the full gallery head to proofing.davidlinderphoto.com and enter the password “Jones.”

Enjoy the pictures, and leave some comment love. I’d love to hear what you think!

A great shot by the oh-so-talented Matt Koskela. So great to have him shooting with me!

I believe this was the point in Josh’s speech where he told the story of Josiah asking Linnea on their first date. To Chipotle. Via text message. Well done, Josie.

Money Dance!

Daniel and Katie | Wedding

Earlier this month, my good friend Daniel Chesnut married Katie, the love of his life (and a pretty nice girl). While I attended the wedding as a guest, not a photographer (a welcome change), I couldn’t help but snap a few photos during the reception.

All in all, it was a great day with great friends. Congrats Daniel and Katie!

To see photos from Hugh Forte, the real photographer, who is completely and totally awesome, check out his blog post.

SOLD Freeze Project | Event

May 25, 2010 | Filed Under Event | Leave a Comment

A few months ago, my friend Amber Wells (she’s totally awesome, by the way) asked me if I would be available to photograph something called the Freeze Project. I agreed without knowing much about it. When it came time to photograph the actual event, I was quite impressed. The Freeze Project incorporates the flash-mob idea popularized by groups like Improv Everywhere, and made it actually work for something. At the event (held at Downtown Disney), participants all froze at the same time for five minutes. Once the five minutes was up, they passed out flyers explaining why they were doing that.

So why did they do this? Participants were raising awareness of the 27+ Million people trapped in slavery around the world.Between 600,000 & 800,000 people are trafficked across international borders as slaves each year. Of these 80% are women, and 50% are children. The Freeze Project allowed groups like SOLD to let people know about this modern tragedy so that they might advocate for those trapped in slavery.

A great cause and a great event. And I think we got some cool pictures to document it.

Josh & Ashley | Proposal

May 25, 2010 | Filed Under Proposal | Leave a Comment

Following not too far behind Josiah, Josh is the third member of my freshman hall (First South Side!) to get engaged. Josh and Ashley have dated for a looooooong time (8 years, I think). And decided it’s finally time to tie the knot. Congratulations to them both.

Josh proposed to Ashley at the top of Glendora Mountain Road after leading her (or rather, following – she beat him to the top) up a 6 mile bike ride. After the romantic proposal, they drove back down to Josh’s house where Ashley was surprised by family and friends for an engagement party.

Temporary Vessel | Art Show

May 25, 2010 | Filed Under Event | Leave a Comment

While I might be a bit biased, I think Temporary Vessel was an amazing art show. Housed a few months ago in APU’s Heritage Gallery & curated by Marissa Quinn, Jessica Lucia, Kaitlyn Jensen, & Kari Bixby featured the work of a dozen or so APU artists with pieces focusing on the temporal nature of art, and it’s interaction with the artist. A GREAT gallery! Here’s a little secret for you, the photos in the 7th photo are by yours truly. What an honor to be featured in a real gallery! Thanks ladies!
