Over the past few months both Matthew and I have been caught up in a whirlwind of work, and just as we like it, each job has brought something new to the table. Last month Matthew was commisioned by <a href="http://kilkus.com/">Christopher Kilkus photography</a> to create an eclectic little short for <a href="http://www.urban-planet.com/store.cfm?&amp;ckey=CA&amp;lang=eng">Urban Planet's</a> holiday launch. So step right up and enjoy a little bit of circus magic shot, directed, and edited by Mr. Denis himself.</p>

He is an amazing artist and a master wood craftsman. He uses a mix of traditional and modern wood working techniques all with local and salvaged wood. He showed me around his new work shop where he was building a custom piece made from salvaged wood pulled from an old dam in the Florida area. The wood had been submerged since around the time of Christopher Columbus. &nbsp;He's one of the most talented and interesting man I have ever met. He also guts and rebuilds Airstreams in his personal time. Yeah, he's pretty cool.</p>

honest, when <a href="http://juliagirl.tumblr.com/">Julia</a> told me that she and Justin were going to married on a horse farm, I didn't hear much else in the conversation. I've kind of got this crazy obsession with horses, and the thought of nuptuals being recited amongst such a beautiful backdrop seemed unbelievable. &nbsp;When the day neared, Matthew and I packed up the car with gear and friends and began the 10 hour drive to Virginia Beach.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Matthew and <a href="http://blizzardshrug.tumblr.com/">Justin Blizzard</a> go way back, from high school buddies, to college bandmates (yay Dead Dogs!). &nbsp;Justin was a groomsman at our own wedding, and now here he was, gettin' hitched. Documenting the marriage of Julia and Justin was a dream. We were welcomed as family amongst them, and with so many details worth capturing, we literally shot without stopping all day. Every single item of decor was handmade by Julia's sister, <a href="http://ekrepcho.tumblr.com/">Elise,</a> and her mother, Rosemarie. Let me tell you, it turned out beautifully. With so many hours put into making this day turn out so perfectly, &nbsp;I suppose we kind of considered it our duty to capture it all. My favorite part of the day came as all of the guests congregated in the barn. With ambient light, the microphone passed from one to another, as so many people came forward, telling stories, remniscing, well wishing, and giving thanks. I've never experienced such an intimate moment at a wedding before, and it's one I won't soon forget.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thank you, Justin and Julia, for allowing us to be a part of your oh so unique wedding day.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Major thanks to our new friend Phil for taking us out on his gorgeous sailboat. &nbsp;Seeing California from the ocean's view is definitely my favorite way to enjoy the state. &nbsp;</p>
