I wasn't able to get down to this game until halftime and it was pretty much settled by then. Blaine put up a good fight, but Taylor Hill and the rest of the South Tigers were too much for the Bengals.
I've shot the past three covers for Vype Magazine and this month will feature the defending girls state track champs of Eastview. Here a few shots from the shoot. I'll post a shot of the cover when it's complete.
The Eagles of Eden Prairie dominated the Moorehead Spuds in a 3-0 victory to take home their first hockey state championship in St. Paul. With Moorehead never seeming to catch fire like the previous night, the Eagles took over the game with their physical play.
I haven't got through them all yet but here are a few shots to wet your whistle.
Special thanks to Vype Magazine for getting me the press pass and allowing me to shoot for them over the weekend. Check back for the girls and boys basketball tournaments coming up in the next few weeks.
With the disappointing loss in the semi's, Blaine turns it around to take the third place title in the Class AA Boys State Hockey tournament with a win over Cretin Duram Hall in St. Paul. Behind the strong play of sophomore forward Nick Bjugstad, the Bengals scored three unanswered goals in the second period to win by the margin of 3-1.
Breck has taken the Class A state Boys Hockey championship with a win over the Warriors of Warroad with the outstanding play of their goaltender, John Russell, by the score of 7-2.
So I got a press pass to shoot at the X for the state hockey tournament. It's been great, other than parking, but I've seen some great action. I just hope to capture the energy and excitement of such a great event.
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.
