Adam Chojnacki.... 7/15/2009

What can i say about this guy?? Where to start is more like it. This young man has more musical talent in one hair on his head, than i do in my entire body! He can sing, he can play piano, and later he was jammin on the guitar. Unreal! It was such a fun shoot because there was always music playing, it just happened to be REALLY GOOD MUSIC, and it was LIVE to boot!

This kid WILL go places, and we had the ability to shoot him....pictures that is.

Hey Adam, don't forget us when you hit it big time!

So without any hesitation... Enjoy Adam.

P.S. If you listen closely, you may hear some of his music on our website. Track 2 on the music player!

Nikki and Adam

June 29th. The forecast was screaming "downpour" and the clouds were looking like they were ready to let loose. You could almost smell the rain in the air.....

Fortunately we had the good luck of 2 EMT's from Delafield, WI.....And what a beautiful day it turned out to be!

Nikki and Adam were married at the Wild Horse in Wisconsin Rapids, and what a cool wedding it was. I had never been to the Wild Horse, but WOW! They did such a great job decorating it! The hair, the dresses, the people. Needless to say it was a fun day. Especially when a certain family member was chugging mouth wash! ;)

As far as couples go, this couple definitely has "it." They were so natural in front of the camera, and always kissing. I am going to venture a guess, and say "they are in looooove"

Thanks for the memories Nikki and Adam!

Sparta Wedding- Landon and Holly

Landon and Holly's wedding was a spectacle to say the least! We started off with them and their guests Friday on Private tour of the Mississippi River in La Crosse on a beautiful paddle boat. Later we moved over to Nell's Restaurant for the rehearsal dinner, which was also a stunning place. After that Luke and I headed back to our hotel to check in...which is a blog post in itself!

Saturday came and we headed over to shoot the ladies getting their hair and make-up done. Metropolis Hair Studio was the location, which was awesome! A very hip and urban studio with cool colors and brick walls.

The reception took place at Justin Trails in Sparta. Yet another beautiful location, but rain hindered most attempts to use its natural beauty. Thankful the rain died down long enough for us to get a few group shots before it started up again. So with out any further delays, here are just a handful of shots from the event in reverse..just to mix it up a bit! :)

Rapids Wedding- Dana and Bob

Some quick edits from Dana and Bob's wedding on May 30. Congrats to the both of you! It was a great day for them ( our mishaps at the bottom ) with great weather and a beautiful location...the Stevens Point Country Club. So enjoy the teaser shots Dana and Bob! :)












As I said above...the wedding went perfect...our day didn't! First, the shutter in one of our camera's decided to give out on Friday night during an engagement session. While we have extra camera's, we still borrowed a body from a friend. Next, 3/4 way through the wedding day our main flash fries out! :( We have extra flash too, so we are still good! So what else could go wrong? Nothing....AT the wedding at least... On our way home from the reception we make a quick stop in point. When we walk back out of the store one of the cars tires is sitting on the rim, with a huge nail stick out of it. Why not! So needless to say it was a fun, but expensive wedding for us! LOL

Rapids Wedding- Greg and Stepanie

Here are some teaser shots from Greg and Stephanie's wedding on May 23 in no specific order. Good luck to the both of you and we wish you the best on your new path in life! Thanks again for choosing us! :)

Rapids Kickers....

We are slowly going through all the shots we took this past Sunday of the Wisconsin Rapids Kickers. We did it a bit different then other photographers in the past with the lighting and shooting style. So here are a few shots from the day....






We had an absolute blast shooting it and we really hope we made it fun and exciting for all the players! So thank you to all the parents for choosing Black Tie Photography to capture the teams this year! :)

A big thanks to all the Black Tie peeps for doing such a great job too! So thanks to Matt Meyer, Steve Williams, Nicole Babcock, and Abby Johnson! Much love to you guys from Luke and I! :)
