Colleen and Luke’s Wedding

David — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 07:46:04 +0000

This weekend I had the honor to shoot a wedding for a long time friend in the US. I’ll be posting some pictures here over the next few days.

Its been awhile!

David — Wed, 12 May 2010 05:52:59 +0000

Well once again it has been a long while since I have posted any updates… I have been busy, thats for sure!

One piece of news that you may have already seen on my website is that I have my new logo!

Also, my business cards are finished and they look great thanks to Kathi, my graphics designer and to all of you that I have asked for feedback from!

Another piece of great news is that I currently have a wedding booked next month! It is going to be a great wedding that I am really looking forward to with a chance to do some shooting in the Englischer Garten in the morning. In the evening the reception and dinner will be at the Palmenhaus in the Schloss Nymphenburger grounds, which promises to be great fun!

Finally, here are a few photos (posted from my Flickr account) of things that have been going on over the past month…

Big changes coming soon!

There will be some changes coming soon! The biggest one is that I have a new domain and I’ll soon have a new website! www.hepler.org will be my private website and I will move the blog and my portfolio over to the new website. I have been slowly working on this on and off for the last couple of months, but I have now taken a big step. It will still be a bit before I am completely ready to “go live” with the new site as I have lots of things coming up, including a wedding tomorrow!

Karsten and Irina's Wedding

I have finally finished with Karsten and Irina’s Wedding pictures! I was able to give them most pictures already, but I still have aÂ few things to finish up before I can concentrate 100% on the next batch of pictures that I have already started working on (there will be a sneak preview on those probably some time in the next week!)

Here are some of the highlights!Â Â

David at work…

Here are a few pics of me at the last wedding taken by my second shooter and friend who jumped in literally at the last second to help (thanks again Sai!).Â I had free range to go anywhere I wanted so I was up on stage for the better part of the ceremony. I was hiding behind the alter for a bit though, so I was glad that Sai was able to get one shot of me on stage when I came out of hiding!

Update from the front

David — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 13:00:26 +0000

Hi all! I think it is about time for an update! Here is what has been going on…
I have been on “vacation” this week. I have not left my apartment often but have been quite busy here at home… I have gotten a lot done!

I finally got the computer parts I needed to get to get my “work” PC up and going again. It broke about a year ago and I haven’t had the time or funds to get it up and going. I didn’t really have the funds to spare but I had the time so I did it anyway! I got an AMD Phenom II X4 810 with an Asus M4A78-E AMD 790GX AM2+ motherboard and 8GB of RAM (but I only installed 4GB for right now as I am still in the old school 32 bit OS world!) I installed XP a few days ago. I finished copying a lot of the thousands and thousands of pictures, songs, and website pages a few hours ago. I still need to reorganize them and copy some of the files over. I also have most of the programs installed that I use, but I’ll have another hour or 2 of work to put in on that! I will have more hard drive space again and will not have to worry as much about how much space I have for pictures. The new computer will run much faster than this one I am using. I am expecting that picture conversions and what not will not take as long as they have been.

Yesterday I did a MAJOR spring cleaning! I vacuumed, mopped all of the floors and dusted some. Only place I didn’t mop was under and behind the couch.
Yesterday evening Karsten and Irina came over to look at their wedding pictures.Â That is one of my favorite parts of wedding photography; getting to see the newly married couple’s reaction to the photos and reliving the day with them.Â They picked out a number of photos so I have some work to do!

On Monday I did a product shoot and was busy Monday night and Tuesday getting those photos edited since they needed to be done quickly before the product goes on sale.

I have also have a chance to look through the photos from the wedding I shot a week ago yesterday. I hope to get to editing those photos some time soon!

Next week I am also on vacation. I am seriously thinking about going on a bike ride. I really need to get away for a bitl. I originally wanted to ride to Budapest, but I don’t think that will happen this year. However, there is a trip that I could take and it would be quicker to get to and come back from and it is a trip that I have been wanting to do for a long time… riding around lake Constance (Bodensee)! I plan on leaving next Wednesday and will probably take the shorter route around for the sake of time. Anyone want to join me?

Well, that is about all for now. Time to get out of the aparment for a change and go on a bike ride!

Days full of editing

David — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 10:51:14 +0000

Hello all! Well, I have been on “vacation” this week, but I have been very busy. Last week on Friday I shot a wedding. Saturday was busy with copying pictures to the computer, doing the first review and making backups. On Monday I did a product shoot. I stayed up all night Monday working on those photos and spent a good part of the day yesterday and this morning working on them as well. It is for a product that needs to be put on sale soon, so timing is critical! I just finished working on those pictures and now I need to continue the work on the pictures from the wedding in May! Whew (as I wipe the sweat from my forehead)!

But first, time for some lunch…

Still nothing new yet!

David — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 06:08:18 +0000

I have been quite busy over the last few weeks. I still have a little work to do on the engagement photo session I did in mid-April, a lot more work to do on the photos from the wedding I shot 4 weeks ago and some work on the baby photos from 3 weeks ago. Never fear though for those that are waiting on these photos (or for those that are considering me to do their wedding Â ), I have 2 weeks of vacation coming up soon and part of it will be spent catching up!

First dance

David — Tue, 19 May 2009 23:05:41 +0000

Its late, but I wanted to share a few pictures from the first dance… Enjoy!

Yet another sneak peak…

David — Fri, 15 May 2009 23:50:59 +0000

Just wanted to share a few more pictures this evening. I am sure that a few people are waiting to see a few more! These are from a bride and groom dance in the middle of a big heart made out of tea lites and surrounded by sparklers.
