This weekend I had the privilege of seeing Karen and Ryan get married in a small church in Hubertus. It was actually a really big church but Karen and Ryan's families made it feel like the church down the street. Both their families are so welcoming and I want to thank them all for the kindness they showed me (the hired help).
Whenever I have a long drive I leave a little early to stop for a photo or three. This was one of those Wisconsin days that thick clouds drift overhead casting shadows on the landscape below. I had to jump a barbed wire fence to grab this shot.
I'm almost done with the book guys. I love these shot from the local ice cream shop. If only all ice cream shops could be so cool.
This was my first Armenian wedding ceremony. Near the end of the ceremony the officiant gave the traditional blessing. May you grow old on the same pillow.
I'm on a roll but a guys got to eat. Just one quick post before dinner. I love the shot of the little guy looking at his Lego catalogue. I remember looking through those books as a kid imagining all the cool things I could build.
Another spread from Kristen and Ron's book. I love these shots of Kristen's dress just moments before she put it on.
I'm working on Kristen and Ron's book today but I though I would take a quick blog break. This is the first spread in the book. I thought the strips cut in the black wall made a dramatic start to the album.
I had a great time last night with my new friends at Molly Cool's. Who new you could get half of Milwaukee to show up at your restaurant by offering free food and drinks, it was a mad house. They have a great location right on the milwaukee river with a view of the city. I hope to be back socially soon.
I am into time-lapse photography right now. Normally the camera is used to freeze a single moment in time. I have become fascinated by the ways the same tool can be used to show the passage of time. Either by time-lapse or long exposure like my recent series of landscapes down by the lakefront.
What does a photographer do for fun? Take pictures with friends. Sunday I got together with fellow members from "the Collection" to take some photos. I had a great time. The models Sara and Nick must have thought we were all crazy. There were about a bakers dozen of us, all pointing our lenses at them. It must have been intimidating but they did great.
The wedding season is underway! I spent this past weekend with Kristen & Ron. A little rain could not stop them from having a good time. Last year the Artists Eyes family had a friendly ring shot competition. I like this one, there sitting on a black plate with some dry ice. I just happened to have some with me. Not really, there was some sort of science fair going on when we arrived at the botanical gardens. Leave a comment and let me know what you think.
This weekend I had the privilege of being in the studio with some of Milwaukee's most talented musicians as they laid tracks for Ethan Keller's upcoming album. I got to meet many of the artists I have seen Ethan play with live. Times like these remind me how great this "job" is.
1...2...3....PAINT from Carl Stevens on Vimeo.
This is the painting I am working on for Andrea and Jerrod. In a few days after the paint is dry I will go over it with a gel medium and send it off. I hope they like it.
I just posted Sara and Jon's book online. I hope they like it. Check it out at the link below and leave a comment to let me know what you think.

OK so maybe a "hat trick" is not the best hockey term but it's the only one I know. This was a fun one! Ryan proposed to Abby at an Admirals game so what better place for their engagement photos. The team was happy to help out some season ticket holders and even let us out on the ice before the game. I love the shot of Abby and Ryan laying on the ice.
I spent an entire third trying to get them on the kiss cam with no luck. Who do you have to marry to get on that thing. Abby and Ryan were clearly the best looking couple in the stadium. I do want to thank Charile Larson for all his help in making this happen. GO ADMIRALS!!!!!!
Just a quick post before I head out the door for some engagement photos at tonight's Milwaukee Admirals game. Your book is almost done guys! I hope you like it so far.
