Alexander Weddings: Cooper vs Hopkins Boys BB

Cooper vs Hopkins Boys BB

So this was a pretty big game for high school basketball. The #1 ranked Hopkins Royals were visiting the #3 ranked Cooper Hawks. Plus the two top ranked players in the state were on opposing teams. And the kicker is that both of those two players are two of Tubby Smith's big recruits and going to the University of MN next year.

So needless to say I was excited to have the opportunity to shoot this game for Vype. And it was packed, over 3,000 seats sold.

The score didn't reflect how good the game was, the Royals pulled away at the end, but overall a very good game.

These shot are right out the camera, so I'll have to go back and do some color correcting and some exposure fixes, but not bad for a guy shooting his 5th basketball game ever.

Jason has been capturing your moments for the past 15 years.

Graduating from the University of MN - Duluth with a Bachelors Degree in Fine Arts, Jason opened a business in Milwaukee, WI focusing on sports photography. After 4 years of building a strong business, Jason realized the frustration of "commuting" back and forth across WI to visit family and friends. So reluctantly, Jason turned over the reigns to a colleague to explore other avenues.

After working as a part time photographer with family and children photography, and a full time job as a Graphic Designer, Jason assisted a friend shooting a wedding. Jason fell back in love with being behind the camera and found an excellent opportunity to become a lead photographer at a very busy wedding photography studio. He went on to shoot more than 25 weddings per summer while still working as an Art Director at a sporting goods company.

After 5 years and successfully creating many lasting memories for his clients, Jason wanted to explore the chance to once again run his own business. In 2007, Jason started building his business ideas into what is now known as Alexander Photo Services.

Wanting to explore several photographic avenues, Jason decided to create two distinct divisions of this business.

Alexander Weddings was created first to build a solid footing and Orange Apple Photo was developed later to specifically target future clients. While Alexander Weddings is the foundation of the business, knowing that producing quality images for high school seniors can only lead to future wedding clients.

In addition, an avenue that Jason is developing through Orange Apple is getting back to his roots and shooting high school sporting events. In doing so has developed a relationship with a local high school sports magazine called Vype.

Through Vype, Jason is allowed access to many more sporting events to connect with the next generation of clients. And with his knowledge in photography, Jason has been asked to shoot the past three covers for Vype with many more to come.

Please explore the many photos throughout this blog, and be sure to check out Jason's websites that show many more samples of his work.

Thank you for visiting and Jason hopes to have the opportunity to serve as your photographer in the future.
