An O’Daniels Honeymoon in Jamaica, Mon! respect…

Joe + Becca in Jamaica

June 2011

Hello everybody! For all of you that attended the wedding, or were there in spirit, both Becca and I appreciate your love and support! It truly was a beautiful weekend and amazing way to set the vibe for an insanely rad honeymoon! Jamaica was absolutely beautiful.  The true beauty of it all actually kept me from taking a lot of photos!! I wish I could go back and live the week inside my lens entirely, however I’m so happy with the ratio that naturally occurred.  I was able to have some much-needed “me” time with my camera and play around a bit, while still being able to spend some quality time my incredible wife.  I’m so thrilled to share these with you all, and I hope everyone enjoys Jamaica as the O’ sees it!

P.S. – if you’re looking for the juicy ones fellas, I apologize…those are all for me ; )

Cheers -

Joe

Gaines Wedding: sneak peek pt.1


**”Best Couple of the Year!!!!”**   **”Two Thumbs Up!!!”**

This wedding was such an awesome experience for me! I don’t know, maybe it was the overall laid back feeling throughout practically the entire day, the incredibly rad production value of the event, the insane energy on the dance floor, or the fact that Big Bird was chilling one floor above me the entire time; either way, this wedding rocked!!!

It was such an honor to shoot both the engagement and wedding of these two amazing people I hold so very dear to my heart.  Casey & Andy, I wish you the best in the years to come and I can’t wait to watch you guys take over the world. Love you guys.

*Some of my favs from the day, more to come soon!! Enjoy!**

Thank you everyone, please enjoy, and more to come soon! I love this shoot!!!!

Julianne + PocketWizards!


Time To Try Something New

 

First off, a HUGE thanks goes out to Gray Photography, Zack Arias, CreativeLive, and PocketWizards, and Julianne for helping me make this shoot possible!  My struggles with flash photography seem as though they’ll fade soon with all of the helpful and selfless inspiration given by these wonderful people; you are masters at your craft and your willingness to share your knowledge with the world is nothing short of amazing, thank you.

This shoot was so much fun, as it was not only my first time working with Julianne (a natural), but it was also my very first outing with my new PocketWizard toys.  It felt so good to just go out and shoot and practice what I love to do.  More of these to come for sure, so please keep a look-out as I venture down this exciting road of off-camera flash!!

Please check out the other AMAZING photographers I named above by clicking on their names; these people are truly an inspiration and totally worth checking out!

ENJOY!

Jamie + Jason Gaddy Wedding – 11/28/10

A Season for Giving Thanks, Expressing Love, & Having A Damn Good Time Doing It!!!

I feel as though I should take a minute to reflect on this couple and what these images mean to me:

I met Jamie in high school; here was this beautiful, and brilliantly artistic girl living in my neighborhood who, from the beginning, inspired me to dig deep and find my own creative self buried deep within.  At the time I was your typical, baseball playing high school kid who liked to doodle cartoon characters instead of taking notes in class.  I was given the opportunity to take Jamie to school every morning that year, and during that time, she made me late almost every morning!! Haha.  Well Jamie, my tardiness on getting these images back is pure pay-back (you know I’m kidding).

The friendship that grew from those tardy mornings is nothing short of exceptional.  I was given the opportunity to meet an incredible person that somehow managed to find an equal.  From the moment I met Jason, I knew he was the right one for Jamie.  Their chemistry, both on and off camera, is just incredible!

Those early jitters during the Engagement Session truly helped guide me through the process of shooting your wedding.  I feel as though I learned so much more about the both of you, and I can’t express the happiness I’ve recieved from being a part of such an important event in your lives. I hope you, and everyone else enjoys these images as much as I do, and I will always remember the words that popped in my head whenever I had you and Jason in front of my lens, “Dude, we got this…”.

Love you both, and I hope that life brings you nothing but happiness as you start a new venture together. Cheers and enjoy!!!

-Joe
