Jennie Clemens-Mark Twain's Niece

In 1864, the niece of Mark Twain,(Sam Clemens) became very ill in Carson City at age 9, and
Jennie Clemens was buried in Lone Mountain cemetery Carson City after her death.
Twain was then living in Virginia City, and also spent much time at his brother's house in Carson.
Twain was bitter after her death, and wrote a story the undertaker
had greatly overcharged his brother Orion for Jennie's funeral services.
Twain then began a lifelong battle against overpriced undertakers, and his writing became more sarcastic
and hardhitting after Jennie's death.

Here is one moment captured at a wedding reception that may fit her billing....This is the color version of one moment squeezed out of many, like a quick view of 5 lives, in one split second where everything is always changing, and maybe something special is captured that might not seem so special at all
when first looked at...A black and white version is a bit farther down on this page...

Oddly Compelling

"There is something so oddly compelling about these guy's candid wedding photos"

Marsha Bradford, Tahoe Keys, California....
We're not sure Marsha is 100% right, but every event is unique, and you should hire photograpohers who can go beyond the cliche'.
and corny posed shot....
We have been published for many years. There is possibly some reason why...





Posted by Picasa

Black and Whites are Sometimes Timeless...

We sort of like doing the wedding shots in black and white as well as color, as the images, both candid and posed, can sometimes acheive almost a timeless quality,,,,and no, you don't need to spend $5,000 for unique wedding photography. Hopefully most people will spend at least as much on their photography as on their bar tab....
