So shooting for Vype has some advantages, I get to shoot some covers. Here's a few shots that I did for February's issue, I'll post the final shot when I get a copy.
As many of you know, I've been shooting sports for a national magazine called Vype. National in the sense that they are all across the nation, but local to the metro's high schools sports. Take a look for your free copy of the magazine at Cub foods, Rainbow, Byerly's and many others. They're usually by the apartment for rent magazines.
Here's a shoot of Osseo vs Champlin Boys BB for the magazine.
Katie and Tad were married on a COLD day in late December. So cold in fact that I think one of the groomsmen still has his tongue stuck to a flagpole. They were married in a small church in Plymouth and the reception was at the Grand Hotel in DT Minneapolis. And as the name states, it's quite nice.
The day went absolutely smooth and everyone had a blast. Thanks for letting me be part of your day Katie and Tad!
So Katie and Tads theme was "A Starry Night" and their cake was spectacular. I don't have the name of it's creator right now, but I'll be sure to add their name to give credit where it's due when I have it.
Blaine's dream season ended Friday night with a loss to the Wayzata Trojans at the Metrodome. It seemed the Bengals just couldn't find a rhythm and Wayzata pulled away with their strong passing game and the quickness of their defense.
Congratulations to Blaine on a great season, and congratulations to Wayzata on their championship.

Nick and Colleen were blessed with a beautiful day and Colleen was stunning! Her dress and hair were beautiful and reminded everyone of a young Katherine Hepburn. I won't quote what Pip told Nick before seeing her, but he basically told him he'll like what he sees, and from what I could tell, Nick did.
The ceremony was at St. Stan's in St. Paul and the reception was at the Wabasha Street Caves. Fortunately for me, the ceremony was very brightly light, but not so much for the Caves. Let's just say, I earned my keep that night.
From what I can tell, everyone liked the video I had going at the reception, which is what you see here, but I didn't have the info to direct people to where they can view the images online. To see all of the images from Nick and Colleen's wedding go Here . Currently there are only engagement photos on there (give me a few weeks to process the wedding images and to get them uploaded), but you will be able to sign up for the guestbook. This will give you a $5 gift card for any purchases you may want and you will be notified when the photos are available.
Congratulations Nick and Colleen and thanks for letting me be part of your day.
I was fortunate to shoot Lindsay's brother Aaron's wedding a couple years back and I was glad to be part of Lindsay's wedding as well. Lindsay and Marc live out in Seattle so most of the weddings planning was done their parents and when seeing the results, they did a great job. The church had a bank of beautiful windows right behind the alter, which makes my job tougher, but gave a beautiful view of the lake just behind. Take a look at the video below to see how much fun they had and the love they have for each other.
Congratulations, Marc and Lindsay, and thanks for letting me be part of your day!
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.
