My weekend was absolutely fantastic. I was able to spend some long overdue time with my family at my Grandparents’ home in Ohio. Several decades ago, when my father was a teenager my grandparents purchased a humble plot of land in rural north-east Ohio. After creating an artificial lake as a border, and decades of home improvement, DIY landscaping, and extensive gardening the result is the beautiful Peterson Island.

This wonderful environment was the perfect opportunity to test out a new camera: a Phase One P45+ Infrared Modified Digital Back. This is a 39 megapixel digital camera designed specifically to capture infrared light. I’ve previously blogged about the basics of infrared photography when I captured Infrared Landscapes of Australia’s Northern Coast. Previously however, all of my infrared work had been done with a point and shoot digital camera when traveling, or infrared film when shooting locally. Using this camera brought my love of infrared photography to a whole new level.

My friends Cedrick and Olivia celebrated their marriage last weekend in a small intimate setting. They asked me to come as a guest, but I love wedding photography and I couldn’t resist. After several multi-photographer high-end weddings, it was good to have a change in pace and capture moments of a smaller affair surrounded by friends.

Check out more select images after the break, or browse this weddings full gallery.

Below are selected images from a photo shoot I did this weekend at my new favorite location. This magnificent tree sits near a friend’s apartment and from 90 to 30 minutes before sunset it is bathed in strong warm light.
