So in the last few posts you may have read my praises for Jonathan Canlas’ Film is Not Dead workshop. Well, starting today, Jon has made available Film Is Not Dead: A Digital Photographer’s Guide to Shooting Film.  It’s a beautiful, 96-page book containing everything from information about cameras, film stocks and scanning to resources for developing, tips for shooting and answers to many questions about shooting film.  Plus it’s got tons of Jon’s ridiculously beautiful photography–a great mix of his professional and personal work.  For anyone, and I mean ANYone, who has any interest in shooting film, this is a great resource.  I dare you not to be inspired to shoot more film after you read this.

The guide is available here.  More information about Film is Not Dead is here.

I leave you with a few more of my favorite film shots from FIND in Park City and elsewhere. Thanks for stopping by!

Hi again! Finally starting to catch up on wedding posts, slowly but surely.  We had a fun engagement session with Andrea and Jon at Scripps Pier this summer, and their September wedding came up quick shortly after that!  Their celebration was filled with family and lots of fun.  Andrea comes from a family of all girls, and Jon comes from a family of all boys, so the joining of their families was awesome! Their ceremony and reception at Bali Hai Restaurant was emotional and a joy to witness.

Here’s a few photos from their day.  I love how every bride has a different way of getting ready:

The bride’s flower girl details were the cutest:

And the couple themselves–gorgeous!

A few details from their celebration, too!  Tropical flowers galore, plus it was the place to be if you had a sweet tooth:

We loved this gift from one of their guests:

And finally , congratulations again, Andrea and Jon! Thanks for letting us share in your day. Aloha!
