I first met Boaz Frankel back in 2009 while photographing the start of a wild adventure for him. He was about to embark on an amazing journey, crossing the United States using any means of transportation. Anything but a gas powered car. He was going to do what no man has done before…an Un-Road Trip.

Boaz traveled the US on over a hundred modes of transportation.  Everything from a motorized cooler,  to a pogo stick and walking rickshaw (check out episode 3). It was pretty epic and more importantly, it brought nation wide attention to our dependency on oil, gas and cars. It brought to light how there are plenty of other ways to get around our awesome planet…you just have to have the guts to find them and try them.

I found Boaz’s journey incredibly inspiring. I kept up on his travels through his blog and needless to say, we’ve become fast friends since the start of his Un-Road Trip.

After his homecoming (which I was there to photograph), his footage and story got to be so well known that it was picked up by the TV station Halogen where producers turned it into a 10 episode TV show. It premiered on April 22nd and you can catch it on Halogen every Friday night at 8PM ET.

I was very happy when Halogen contacted me to use some photos I took of the Un-Road Trip for the show. So now you can not only follow Boaz’s adventure but you can also see some of my photos on Halogen every Friday.

Next time Boaz takes off another adventure, which really, it is just a matter of time before he does, I am hoping to document the trip alongside him. Stay tuned!

How do I sum up my 2010? Grateful. I met some amazing couples who trusted me to photograph the most important day of their lives. Their weddings brought me all over the country, for which I am grateful. I did two workshops with some of my favorite photographers. I traveled to the Outer Banks of North Carolina for three days of learning and photographing with Ben and Erin Chrisman. I worked with an incredible design company, Flosites, to makeover my brand and logo. I completed a triathlon, traveled with my wife, met new people and reconnected with old friends.

Cheers to 2010 and here’s to an even greater 2011.

Thank you everyone who helped get to where I am today. Salude.

Please enjoy the year in wedding photos. I would have loved to put in every shoot I did over the year from engagements to events and portraits but I figured you only had enough patience for weddings! Thanks and enjoy the show. (watch it fullscreen here or just press play at the bottom)

The wedding officiant summed it up best by saying if it looks like a duck and acts like a duck, then it must be a duck. Love is love and it doesn’t matter who you love, it’s real.  And you definitely feel the love with Lanae and Kathy.

Lanae is the sister of my good friend Amy and when her and Kathy got engaged, Amy didn’t miss a beat in contacting me to photograph the wedding. Lanae and Kathy were so excited throughout the planning and it was great to travel to Amy’s home state for this emotional, touching and happy wedding.

The rehearsal party was a tailgate at a Detroit Tigers game and I don’t think the party stopped for two days! The tiny, dimly lit chapel was a beautiful place to witness such a beautiful union. Kathy was all tears the entire time along with the family, who were so happy for these two. Just seeing all this joy, Lindsay and I had a hard time not getting choked up ourselves! But after the tears, came a rocking, all out dance party reception. Complete with the entire Detroit crew lip singing to “Cowboy” and “The Real Slim Shady”, by Kid Rock and Eminem, both Detroit natives. Oh and we can’t forget the surprise table dancing rendition of “I Kissed a Girl”, planned by the wedding party. And Amy, the Maid of Honor, trying to get everyone to do the wave to start the party right. It was definitely one of the best and most energetic receptions we have ever photographed. The entire night was a celebration of Lanae and Kathy’s love and I am so happy that Lindsay and I were a part of it.

To Kathy and Lanae–cheers!
