Jordan and Craig – Las Vegas Hard Rock Wedding

May 11th, 2012

Jordan and Craig said they wanted something with heavy metal and the Hard Rock cafe more than delivered.  Add in some chains, barbed wire and wicked cool florals from Naakiti Floral, hand over the reins to 35,000 watts of sound to Sound Fusion Entertainment, light fuse and get close – something is going to rock. Big time. Awesome details and event planning by Scheme Events.

Powder coated aluminum album covers

May 6th, 2012

Everyone knows we make our own albums here, right? If you don’t here’s the short version. Each and every album that comes from us, from concept to completion is designed, printed, bound and covered right here in the Orange Soda laboratories and design studio. That means we know every single inch of your album like nobody else, and that means they come out the way we want every single time. The obvious benefit is that each album that leaves here is truly unique and in some cases we only make one before we break the mold. Having an album that you know was made with attention to every small detail and that nobody else has is something of a rarity these days.

We wanted something that was truly different yet minimal in design that we could offer for our covers. Something so cool, it’d make people stop and stare with their mouth agape.

Enter powder coated aluminum. We start with a sheet of 2024T3 aircraft aluminum and laser cut the plate and design into the cover. With powder coating coming in a vast array of colors and being nearly 10 times stronger than traditional paint, it was the obvious choice. Finish it with a leather spine and you have an elegant, lightweight album that could easily withstand the zombie apocalypse in style. If James Bond wanted an album, this is what he’d have.

How cool are these? Every album that leaves here tests positive for awesomeness. See for yourself.

Baby Jules and her Family

April 25th, 2012

You never know who you will meet while photographing a wedding, and this family is just one example of the wonderful people we encounter in our job!  We met Jen and her husband Jamie while photographing a wedding last October.  Jen works with the bride from that wedding.   As a group office present from work, as well as from our past bride and groom, this family was surprised to receive the awesome gift of a family photo session to be used after their little baby girl was born.   Jules is a sweet little pumpkin of joy, just 4 1/2 months old for this photo session, and has a very loving brother named Jake who is always more than happy to help out with caring for his baby sister.  This also happened to be the first professional photo session that Jen and Jamie have experience.  Thank you for taking me into your home, and making me feel like part of the family for a couple of hours!

Introducing Patches

April 10th, 2012

A short while ago, Tuxedo Junction approached me with an awesome project.  They are starting a line of custom doggy tuxedos.  I jumped at the opportunity to photograph their first doggy fitting.  Please meet Patches.  He is a handsome young lad, and was the star of the shop for a few days.  As any new project proves to be, it took creativity, adventure, and a lot of doggy treats.  They began with a measuring tape, and a sample tux, and ended with a muslin custom pattern, fitted just perfectly to our furry star.  Patches had the honor of walking down the aisle with his parents last month as he witnessed them getting married.  A special thanks to Patches daddy, Lou, for bringing him to Tuxedo Junction and allowing him to be photographed.
