YAY … I think.

Some good news: I’m going to take two weeks off!

Well, kind of.

Sort of.

I’m studying for a really big exam, so I’m not doing any business (except answer e-mails & calls) until after my exam next Tuesday. Too much to study!

But Tuesdan’s only one week away you say, what about the other week? Well after my exam I’m going to take a small vacation to visit a dear friend. She has a beautiful farm! It’s going to be great: animals, fun, tea talks, movies with popcorn, encouragement, and no Internet. 

 So I’ll be back to posting about Photography, Fargo, Weddings, and Seniors in a few weeks. I’m thinking a post about St. Mary’s Cathedral next…

 Stay tuned. And have a great 2 weeks until I get back!!

P.S. I’m getting a lot of spam comments so  if you see any while I’m away don’t click on links! I’ll delete them when I get back.

Woot, Woot!! All Aboard!

Next stop in our Fargo search for wedding, engagement and senior locations:  the Trains!

Located at the Historic Train Depot downtown these trains are simple FUN. They always bring out the playful side of people!

 

Brilliant RED pops (!)  in the photographs.  

 

The Blue cars and their fabulous wheels shout URBAN FLAIR!

 

Action Shot of me at work:

Seniors love the caboose too! 

Doesn’t it make you want to take a train ride!!

Pack your bags; we’re going to the train depot!

The second location I’m going to cover is a well known local landmark!

Built in 1898 the Train Depot was the first building in Fargo to enter the National Register of Historic Places. It is now part of the Fargo Public Park District, and a favorite location for may wedding photographers!! Ironically it has this sign over the door:

I love taking photos here because it is a constantly changing, exciting and fun place. The seasons bring very different looks.

Summer brings bright, warm light off of the red bricks. And the vibrant gardens surrounding the depot make it a lush and cheerful place!

Fall brings more warm tones. Even the trees across the street bring in more color!

In the  spring before the gardens are planted the Depot has a unique vintage feel. The overhanging roof make it ideal for photographs even with spring showers!

Can I say Perfect Location!!!

 

And one last shot of my Brother and his wife. Just because I love them!!

Next week … the TRAINS at the depot!

Fargo| a city for wedding photography!

 

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking the last few days; what to focus my blog on. Obviously I’m a photographer, but how can I make my blog interesting and focused, yet incorporate my photographs?? After debating many things I’ve decided to focus on my city … Fargo!

Fargo really gets a bad rap for being backward, uncool, and cold. I’ll agree to the last description, but I think Fargo has a lot to offer! I’m going to write posts about Fargo: the beautiful locations around town to do photo shoots, the neat vendors that provide great service, the different churches I’ve photographed weddings at!  The alleys and buildings I’ve shot portraits in, and the restaurants and other locations used for receptions!!

There’s a lot of beauty here in our city!  I want to give YOU some ideas for your own wedding day!  To view Fargo as a wedding backdrop, from a photographer’s perspective.

To start things off the building above is the historic Fargo Theatre, right on our very own Broadway! Built in 1926 its Art Deco interior is one of the most creative buildings I’ve  ever been in. Not only is it a fun movie theatre, but the screen rolls up to show a gorgeous stage. I helped out behind the scenes at several plays here … Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing,” and “Twelfth Night,” as well as a fantastic performance of “Jane Eyre!” I know most of the passageways in this beautiful building, which makes me love taking photos of the outside so much more!

What do you think of my idea to focus my blog on Fargo? Is there anything you would like to see me do a post about? I’d love to hear!!

*On a side note – I think it’s kind of ironic that the two movies playing the day I shot this image are “In the Loop” and “The Goods” seeing as I’m going to be using both topics for my blog!*
