Breitenbush Birthday!

all i wanted this year was to relax for my birthday, so we headed to breitenbush hot springs for some good r&r. jeff got me an awesome pinhole camera that i had my eye on so i got to test it out...however i have a lot more testing to do... here is the best shot i got- of breitenbush river and devil's peak in the background. lots more to come with the pinhole!

4 second exposure, 6x9 negative on 120 film

Ooh la la! Our Paris Photoshoot pics are up!

as you might have seen from a previous post here, Jeff and I did a "day after shoot" in Paris while on our honeymoon. The fabulous Nicole Wickens was shooting a wedding in France and happened to be in Paris when we were, so we made a plan and packed up our wedding clothes and hit the streets of Paris with Nicole and her husband Brad. This was probably the most memorable part of our honeymoon as we ran around Paris and all the major landmarks and received "félicitations !" from the passers by. There are hundreds of awesome pics on Nicole's site here. Here are just a few that Nicole had posted, but I might have to add a few more favorites in the future...
enjoy!

YAY AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!

Mai-Lee & David!

... were married at the downtown Hilton Hotel at the end of September. Thinking back on this loving wedding I hear laughter, lots of laughter, in the ceremony, for their awesome surprise first dance, and of course from the Photobooth! You can view all of their images here and see some of my favorites below with commentary:)

we had a beautiful fall day and walked around the park blocks for some bride & groom pics.

Sara & Brendan's semi-TTD shoot!

Sara and Brendan were married last year and have decided to do annual photo sessions to document their life together. For their first session Sara decided to get back in her dress and we went to a park close to their home and had some fun! They brought along their cute little pup who kept guard as we strolled around the park :)
Thanks S&B!

Meredith & Josh get hitched!

I just had to share some of Meredith and Josh's images from their stylish David Hill Winery wedding last Saturday. I think this is the first time I've posted one of my Coughlin-Glaser Photography weddings, but it wont be the last! M & J are both creative types and they really made their wedding sparkle with great details and never too many flowers!
They had me shoot a roll of medium format film in my Holga, and my friend Zeyneb came along to help out, thanks Zey!
I thought it would be fun to "vintage-ize" some of their images... can you tell which are the true Holga shots? (hint: true black & white :)

you must click to enlarge this last image, it was the last shot of the night, as we left the vineyard I set up the tripod for a 30 second exposure... yum!
