Katie and Paul – Sault Ste Marie Wedding

curtoneil — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 17:39:33 +0000

Well I gave away all my back story on Katie and Paul on their engagement shoot post which makes this one harder to do. I could repeat myself but then I’d have everyone saying I repeated myself.

Katie and Paul had a gorgeous day for their wedding which took place out on the family golf course; Root River Country Club (same place as the engagement shoot). Katie and Paul chose hole #2 for their wedding and they even have a tree they planted on this hole. Good thing I haven’t played the course for awhile or the tree would probably be destroyed. We had plans to use some of the same holes/areas for shots of them on the wedding, sort of in a recreation type mode. However, someone decided to turn all the sprinklers on the #9 hole so some of those plans were squashed. It was mostly because Paul started crying about water and how he didn’t want to get his suit wet and that the ground was all mushy or something something like that.

Thanks for the great day guys and for actually trusting me to drive a golf cart and not roll it.

Danielle and Jamie – Sault Ste Marie Engagement Shoot

Danielle and Jamie are very special; so special that I’m shooting their wedding on Jes’ birthday. And for another piece of trivia Danielle is Jeannette’s sister, yes that cake girl Jeannette. But enough with the fun facts – Danielle and Jamie’s engagement shoot took place in downtown Sault Ste Marie and was filled with laughs. Which always makes for a great morning shooting. Once again Danielle and Jamie followed along like a lot of my couples do (which I love) and were up for the crazy ideas and situations I wanted to put them in – I think it worked out great.

Thanks for the awesome morning guys and see you in a few short weeks.

Mel and Jim – Sault Engagement Shoot

Mel and Jim had an originally planned for engagement shoot get rained out on. We grabbed about 5 shots or so as Mel and Jim’s dog Gunner was with us and we wanted to make sure we had a shot of him. About a month later we were able to actually get their real engagement shoot in. This time we headed out to Wishart Park which was a great area that I had not shot in yet. As the day started to get a bit warmer out the decision was made to get in the water – which is now a situation I’m putting a lot of my couples in if there is water around – might as well use it right?

Thanks for the great day guys and I’m looking forward to the trip down to Cambridge for the wedding in late September.

And just because I’m making my couples go in the water doesn’t mean I’m safe standing on dry land. I’m out there with them and usually laying across rocks trying to get that one shot. Here’s a shot Mel got of me when she took my camera and Jim was helping me off the rocks I was stuck on.

Beards Slo-Pitch – Jersey Unveiling

curtoneil — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 19:00:55 +0000

In the summer months I sponsor my own slo-pitch team. We have been together for 8 years now and I took over the sponsorship last year to give us a solid sponsor year after year instead of our general scrambling. Our team name is the Curt O’Neil Photo Beards.

This year was time to get us a proper jersey. After searching around for exactly what I wanted it seemed like it was impossible. Finally a solution came from Stefan at Sault Screeners who recommended “just get what you want” and the plan to order them custom made was put into motion. The goal after getting Jeannette from Jeannette’s Custom Cakes to design the logo was for the shirts to look like the throwback San Diego Padre jerseys. Each jersey was hand sewn and assembled which made them delayed for this season. This week is our last week of games and the jerseys came in last Friday.

So what do you do when you have awesome jerseys, little games left to play and not that great of a win-loss record? You give your jerseys their own photo shoot and official unveiling on your website.

So without further ado, here are the Beards:
