Some of my favorites form this time last year. Enjoy.

It’s official. I drank the Mickey Kool-Aid. About 2 months ago we were on a little family vacation and Danielle “dared” me to take a pit stop at Disney World. I took her up on the challenge and we went for 1.5 days. I was hooked. When we got home I jumped right to my calendar to find out when we could go back and stay for at least a week. Turns out I had an opening the first week of September. :) I surprised her and the kids and booked a trip. We were there 9 days and it was flipping amazing. If any of you are thinking of going you absolutely have to. I’m a crazy Disney World person now and will gladly answer any questions you have about planning your trip. :) The first time we went I only shot photos and video with my iPhone, this last time I gave it the full on AlexM Photography documentary treatment. I came home with 250gigs worth of photos and video. (A typical wedding is 8gigs.) I shot a lot. :)

A few quick photos.

Double Strollers. The only way to move 4 kids around the parks.

Looking for the big castle.

We got tired of “traditional” poses after a day or so.

Anyway, here is a little video of our trip. If you don’t’ like Disney or my family, you won’t enjoy the video. If you like either, sit back for 5 minutes of fun.

A few months ago I did a post titled How To Get Married With Only 10 People Watching. (You should read it.)  It talked about trimming your guest list and really making your wedding what you want it to be.  I got the inspiration from Erika & Phil’s wedding.  Here is a shot of their wedding dinner with all the guests they had.

Yesterday was Erika & Phil’s 1 year anniversary.  (Happy Anniversary Guys)

I wanted to feature a couple who took their idea a few steps further.  Take a look at this video.

I can’t embed the video on my site so you’ll have to click here to watch it.

Crazy huh?  Leave a comment below telling me what you think about it.

My bride turns 29 today.  I still can’t believe we are married.  It totally feels like we are just in a really long dating relationship.
I love being married to you and can’t image a better life.  Happy Birthday wife.

Here is the first photo ever taken of us.

It was back in 1998.  We worked a Vacation Bible School together.  She did not like me.  I’m glad she likes me now.

OK so here is the deal.  Right now I’m hovering at around 300 “Likes” on the AlexM Photography Facebook Page.  We need to get that number to 1,000.  I have a plan.  Phase 1 is get the number to 500.  Once we hit 500 then I’ll randomly give away an iPod to any one of those 500 fans.  (I’ll even let the winner pick their favorite color.)  I have something special planned for when we get to 1,00 but we’ll talk about that as we get closer to 1K.

So all you need to do is either head to the page and “Like” it, or post a little something in your status update encouraging your friends to Like it.

Example:
The best photographer ever in the whole wide world is giving away an iPod to a random person.
