Will Knowles shoots weddings? Yes, actually... Now go tell all your friends.

I shot my first wedding over Spring Break. (I use the term "first" lightly. I actually have another wedding under my belt, but it doesn't count. The bride and groom were about 70. Its a great story... but not too impressive in a wedding portfolio)

Allow me to introduce you to the coolest bride in the world: Jonelle Graham (now Capps). It takes a special person to trust a newbie photographer with your wedding day. These are her bridal portraits we took about a month prior to the wedding.


And the wedding... What a great day! With the help of my good friend, Laura Vinson, i was able to capture Jonelle and Carlton's big day. You might recognize the two from their engagement pictures on my website. They are wonderful people to work with... I wish them the best in their journey.

Sondre Lerche says, "You better be prepared to be surprised. It's all I know." When i least expected it, i got the most pleasant surprise: A best friend and a girlfriend (same person). Without question, ive never had more fun than with her. She is an amplifier to my joy.

...and she's gorgeous.

Cool Hand Luke says it best:

"This is love,
that you would die for me.

When I'm falling down,
you save me.

This is how I know what love is.
And I'd die for this."

There is much to talk about...

Im in the last semester of my life. This is quite possibly the most challenging semester i have had... in terms of motivation. My class load is rather small; i only have nine credit hours. However, i can't help but feel like this is the most pointless semester i've taken thus far. Its mostly a nusance. Its the only thing that separates me from the rest of my life.

I've been helping my friend Tony Czech teach a photography class at RockeTown. We are attempting to teach them the basics of photography: composition, exposure, etc. This week, per their request, we tried to incorporate telling a story. Tony and I decided that the assignment for the week was to create a diptych. One photo being a portrait, the other being an action shot. Through this interaction, they were to tell the story of myself trying to skate a mini-ramp (I had no previous experience). The majority of my evening was spent falling...


What of Photography for yourself? Good question. Things are going well. Considering I'm still a student first, I shy away from doing too much. I don't want to give into my waning motivation. Come May, I plan on launching into photography full force. In them meantime, i continue to do a little work here and there. My friend, Tony, with whom I help teach photography, has been very helpful in setting my goals for the future. He is an amazing photographer... but even more an amazing friend. He is providing me with some invaluable experiences.

There's more...

I'm sweet on somebody. Her name is Liz. And guess what... she likes me back. If you want to know more, feel free to ask. Its a story i could tell over and over.


Thats all for now. I have to save something for the next post.
