Michael Norwood's House Warming Party

Michael Norwood + Sushi + friends = a good time!

Last night we attended Michael's house warming party. It was way cooler then ours!...We started the night with all you can eat sushi and chatting and ended the night with a serious game of poker.

 Michael and Becker split the pot. 
And of course... thanks Lan Bui for the awesome video!!!!
 
* candice would like to make a note that she doesn't usually talk like that....and if she does she needs someone to give an intervention on her nerdyness.

Josh & Ann :: Picture me... Engaged

Josh = RAD.
Ann = ICAL.
Josh + Ann = RADICAL.


This past weekend we had the opportunity to shoot an engagement for Josh and Ann. They are so fun to hang out with!!! I seriously love photo-shoots with clients, but I also love when they go so smoothly that you almost forget that there was a camera in your hand. THAT is how awesome they are!


They are getting married on March 13th 2009. I love how on top of things they are!


We can't wait for your big day guys!!!!!!!




















Andrew and Stacey Derr :: Picture me... Married

So when i got to phone call from Amelia to come hang out with her at Stacey and Andrews wedding i was so stoked!!!!!!  Not only is Amelia a Freaking amazing Photographer, but she is WAY rad to hang out with!  Her husband Justin is equally as rad, and the producer for Yo Gabba Gabba, easily the best thing on T.V. right now, besides Dexter of course!  

Justin and Amelia just got nominated for Photog of the Year by Blu Domain. GO VOTE FOR THEM!!!!!!!!  (IN JUNE!) and don't forget to check out her post!!!

Her are some of my shots from the day.... :)

meet Mr. Rogers....


This past week we had the opportunity to hang with Paul Rogers (david Jays video guy). Not only is he awesome, he has an amazing business mind (which is right down our ally). We went to lunch with him a few times these last few days and this is what we found:


-He came from Kansas
-He can rock any video camera with in 50 feet
-He shares the same faith as us (go Jesus!)
-He has great Business ideas
-He has the kindest heart
-His sister opens his mail
-He likes to convince people to move to the Midwest
-He got hired by D.J. within 3 hours... without even meeting him!
-He only likes Chipotle every once in a while
-He is only 22 and has more of a career then most 40 year olds

Thanks for spending so much time with us this past week! We cant wait to see you soon!

Chris and Sarah :: Picture me... married!

Chris and Sarah are A.M.A.Z.I.N.G! We met them a few months ago in a coffee shop and knew immediately that they rocked! Their wedding was awesome (they had the best Hors'dourves we have ever tasted, and Sarah's vision of the wedding turned out perfect!

Chris and Sarah thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of you big day! We loved capturing every minute of it!!!!

We also wanted to give a shout-out to AHS (aaron) for helping us capture the day (more of those fun pictures to come).








In her waiting room....  there was this awesome directional can-lighting!






O.K..... when it was time for Sara and chris to exchange rings, Sara totally tried to put Chris's ring on the wrong finger. We all had a good laugh!











Here you go Nate...... Get some!!! ;)

After talking with the resident planner at the Victorian, I found out that they needed a shot of the Venue from the front.   I decided to wait until it got dark and the trees were illuminated with the lights :)

my FREAKING AWESOME wife's birthday!!!!!!!!

On Candice's B-day I surprised her with a "girls day". I didn't know exactly what this entailed, but I knew it was a good idea. We first headed to a nail Solon to get her nails and toes done. I nearly suffocated from the smell but my wife was happy to see me by her side (i edited pictures, in case you wanted to know what the heck i did for two hours). 





I had no idea that "french-tip" nails started out so long!!! I decided to have her keep her nails 3 inches long.... I LOOOOVE cat-people! j/k




Then we headed to the Eli Alexander salon for a Sweet "designer" hair cut!!!!!! ( I edited pictures during this time as well)




A few days ago Justin Lyon and I threw a joint B-day party for the ladies in our lives! We think the Lyon's are A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.!  they are such great photographers and Friends. Here are a few pictures we snagged off of their rockin' blog



We are lucky enough to have an outstanding videographer in our circle of friends. Lan Bui made this video which honestly blew my socks off.

A Quick Post...

Hey everyone, we just wanted to send out a quick post to see if anyone is interested in working part time for Mark Brooke Photography ( 10 hours a week). Its wedding session and we are also working on a big project that will be released next year, so things are getting busy. The job description is pretty simple: dress all black, run errands in the middle of the night, and fetch us coffee etc... Just kidding! For reals we just need someone to do the back end work (secretarial and editing work), so if someone is interested please email us. Thanks, and Happy Mothers day. -candice brooke
