The Longest Day: Episodes 6 - 9

Ok, catching up on more episodes of the reality web show we were filmed in Universal City, CA. Maybe I haven't mentioned this, but I think these will be enjoyed mostly by photographers that are familiar with some of the big name photographers in he industry. For our clients, I think you might just want to watch the 2 actual films both teams put together, which will be in the next blog entry! And you should all watch and vote your favorite one because the teams are both trying to win money for their charity. As I mentioned in a previous post, Brook and I were NOT on the same team. So since this is my blog entry, vote for team A!!! We will win $$$ for Thirst Relief International!

The Longest Day: Episodes 1 - 5

OK, I want to give you new episodes to view. If you didn't have time to watch Episodes 2-4 in the last post, the above is a short recap of 1 - 4. Below tune in for episode 5!

Making Wedding Dreams Come True

What a great title! This is the title of WPPI online Newsletter that just came out about Brook and I! I hope you enjoy the images and the article. The writer Emily F. Popek did a really nice job, and she was really great during the interview. I love the line she wrote in the article: "With Brook's outgoing personality and Alisha's calm, focused air, it's hard to imagine this couple having any trouble distinguishing themselves.."

Also, I haven't been posting The Longest Day web-episodes of the reality show we were part of. So here's Episodes 2 - 4. I will post a new one tomorrow! Please tune in for more entertainment! Tee hee!

Alisha

Brook likes to read.....Not so much.

It is true. I don't like to read. I am more of a movie guy. I have always thought that if a book was that great, they will make it into a 2 hour movie, thus saving me a ton of time and effort. Well, not so much effort but time. Heck, I made it through high school without reading a real book. One of my teachers finally realized my book reports were on movies when I turned in Ben Hur. But I made sure I actually read for my high school final in English when I read Hansel and Gretel out loud to the class. It got a lot of laughs and my teacher thought I was pretty lame. Lame, but funny! Don't worry, I already had an A going into it and did it for fun. That brought it down a grade, but it was worth it. Getting back to my main thought.. Alisha and I are working on a book that will be released at in Vegas. It will be a book of some of our favorite photos from the last 11 years. I think that people are really going to enjoy this. I hope that fellow photographers will be able to use our photos to inspire them when they go out and shoot that next wedding. You will be able to purchase it in Vegas and later we'll make available through our site. I swear you are going to love it. It requires virtually no reading skills! A picture book. You got it.

Also, on a totally different note. Check me out on Twitter and Facebook. I update those all the time. Thanks for checking back on on us.

Have a great weekend!

The Longest Day

I personally have not posted for awhile. You may ask, why Brook? Why have you not posted for soooo long? Where's the love?It's not because I don't care. It's because, well, because.......... I got nothing. I guess because we have been sooooo busy the last couple of months. I thought I would let you know that you can catch up with me on Facebook and if that is not cool enough, you can also follow me on Twitter. You might ask. Twitter what-the? What-the is right. Check it out at www.twitter.com. You just update what you are doing at that time from your cell phone. I have been loving it. For real. Now I feel so much better that I posted. Like a weight has been lifted.

Now for The Longest Day. Alisha and I also had the opportunity to be a part of movie making history. We invited in a group of 24 of the hottest photographers in the U.S. (oh, oops! The Bebbs-they're Canadian. Don't fault them for that) to Universal City without a clue why. Then we were given our challenge. Split into 2 teams, we were given 24 hours to make a short film. In the process we raised $$$$ for two great charities. When the films are released online, you the audience will vote. Alisha was on Team A and I was on team B. These are the trailers. Both movies will be shown at WPPI this year. Remember, Alisha and I are speaking this year. Come and see us. If we don't know you we would love to meet you. And if we know you come by anyway!

Thanks to Ron Dawson of Cinematic Studios for putting together this project!

P.S. Comments anyone?

Bigger is Better

Hey, how is everyone?! Well Brook has been finding out...he joined Facebook & Twitter yesterday. So yes, it's been too long in between posts. We haven't spent 2 months at the Ren Faire. A week after that last post, we took our little one to Disneyland! Because Giada hadn't gone since she was 4 months old. It was overdue! We've also been busy with wedding and portraits, of course. That goes without saying! Except that I, huh, said it.
So we have been updating our websites with BIGGER images. And it's true what they say, BIGGER IS BETTER. Otherwise, you don't get a really good feel for our images, right? So here are few images from a gorgeous wedding in La Jolla. The celebration of Araceli & Fred. Just one of several new wedding galleries on alishabrook.com

We have some more updates for you that I will save for some new posts coming soon! (Nobody's pregnant. Oh, except Alex. Congrats!!!)

Renaissance Faire

OK, admit it. Some of you attend the Renaissance Faire. You don't have to be a full on Ren Faire geek to attend. Unless you are like my sister and own at least 6 costumes. Wink! Well, we just had the pleasure of taking our daughter to the Ren Faire (in Casa De Fruta) for the first time. Our little Giada Bella is now 1! I can't believe it. She's too adorable! It's actually pretty fun. Even if you don't dress up. And Brook did not. He refused to even wear a hat. It was a suede Robin Hood hat with a feather. Oh well. But he brought his camera and photographed us, our friends, and some of the characters at the Faire..

Thanks for checking in,

Little Logan is so cute. When he was a baby someone called him the Brad Pitt of babies.
