I shot this wedding before I even had a blog, so I decided to repost it! Maddie and I just booked our tickets for a wedding on Oahu in October of this year so it got me thinking about Tyler and Rachel’s wedding back in 2008. Not only are Tyler and Rachel great, but they are also my brother and sister in law since Rachel and Maddie are sisters. Also, for all of your photography nerds out there, this was my first shoot with a tilt shift. Not surprising that I got hooked on it. Here are the photos.blogtylerrachel-3blogtylerrachel-197blogtylerrachel-221blogtylerrachel-285blogtylerrachel-256blogtylerrachel-213blogtylerrachel-403blogtylerrachel-427blogtylerrachel-496blogtylerrachel-527blogtylerrachel-520blogtylerrachel-523blogtylerrachel-542blogtylerrachel-602blogtylerrachel-559blogtylerrachel-612blogtylerrachel-620blogtylerrachel-619blogtylerrachel-563blogtylerrachel-655

The reality is that the situation and even my time there wasn’t either of these things. The widespread destruction can be summed up in the word I found myself saying over and over and over throughout the trip, “unreal”. Driving through Port-au-Prince is like driving through a war zone or a movie. With the way our media is you might think that Anderson Cooper might just be finding the worst spots and simply reporting on them.

The problem really is that EVERYWHERE is the worst spot.

Here are just a few video stills from our initial drive through downtown Port-au-Prince.ss2ss4ss3screen-shot-1ss5The coolest part of our time in Haiti was hanging out with the kids. Where ever we went, we’d be followed by a small mob is children. These kids LOVED getting their photo taken and thought it was the coolest thing ever to see the photo right after I took it. Here is to the kids who have lost brothers, sisters, moms, dads, grandmas, and grandpas. Their upbeat spirit was incredibly encouraging. blogkids1This kid was poking his head under the gate trying to get a look while we passed out tents. ss6blogkid11Two girls sat outside of their destroyed school.ss7blogkid2blogkid6This girl napped on a small stool during the heat of the day under just a bed sheet for covering.blogkid5blogkid7blogkid3blogkid8blogkids9blogkid101This lady was so excited to get a tent that she literally started dancing. Can you imagine being that excited for a tent?
These people are desperate. How are you involved?ss9ss8The problem is not over and it won’t be long after all the media has left and turned away to other issues.
Please find a way to help if you can. I can’t stress this enough.

Despite the conditions, I think we had a good time and got some good photos too!dj-58dj-63dj-13dj-42blogderekjamie-046a1dj-70
