I go to New Stuff, but it only brings me to the section "New Stuff"... No blog that I can find!

the site is great...but a bit busy for my tastes...but he has great photographs and seems to want to not be pigeon holed into just weddings...so he keeps his site non-specific...but great example of an easy, quick, yet convincing site.

Thanks for sharing, Joanna. I think he's one of my fav wedding photographer's now. I wish I could get locations like on his site. Interesting pricing, too. It doesn't really make sense, though. The first one or two couples to book pay $1000, the next, $1500, and the last, $2000. He only books 5/month, and for 8 hours. What doesn't make sense is, if he only books one wedding/day, then why have different prices? If a day isn't booked, then why should someone pay more than someone who contacted him earlier about a different day in the same month? Sorry, I know that's not why you posted this, but I just found it odd. His prices are low for his talent.

Hi, I know the pricing is odd... I understand the psychology of it from his point of view but I'd be irritated as a customer who has to pay an extra $1000 because I didn't sign up before someone else did for THAT month. It's kinda weird. I also agree he is cheap for his talent.

Hey Joanna..I love his stuff . I have looked at it before..I agree about the strange pricing and about the different website layout but I think what awesome is even though those aspects are strange ..what you see are his gorgeous creations!

Yeah, $2000 is still a deal for what he gives you.

Excellent pics, but the close up of the 2 guys kissing was a little much for me. NOT THAT THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT !!!

Yes, that was a very intimate moment. They look like twins.

I think the two guys are great because it shows that he is comfortable in a variety of situations and is still able to see and record the beauty of a gay relationship - not just a heterosexual one. They do look like twins which is kindof odd to me...

Yes, he seemed to portray their love as completely normal and natural instead of trying to awkwardly figure out how to pose them. I have my first same-sex marriage booked for next November, and I'm excited about it (women). I'll get to shoot an engagement session for them first, which will be nice for me.

Nice shots but I don't like the setup. Too many anoying features. When you fist open the site the header scrolls to fast as well as the way some of the pics open up.....They seem to bounce open.

Ive dealt with Shawn before, actually some email correspondence and such, but he seems like a way cool guy. I asked him to shoot my little bro's wedding at the Four Seasons in Kona. He was going to hook us up just to shoot at the location, but they ended up booking a hotel recommendation beforehand. I wouldve loved to have met him and maybe even learned a few of his tricks. From the short time we communicated, he seems like a really good guy, that happens to produce insane work.

He did seem cool, from what was on his website at least. I would like to learn from him as well.

its just tooo much for my taste. i couldnt find the blog. the website in itself is very distracting - i feel like he is 'shouting' at me from all sides.......
he is good, but not that good to pay an extra 1000 just becasue i signed up late.
