The latest happenings with Jim Straka Photography
The joy of this couple rubs off on everyone around them! I must say their wedding was a blast. From the show tunes, to Elvis, to Toni’s father dressing up like “The Godfather” every moment was a celebration. Photographing Toni and Anthony was the best part though, their love for each other is paramount. I wish you two many years of blessings! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this extraordinary day!
HDR images are the combination of multiple images to show scenes with a wide range of light levels ranging from direct sunlight to shadows. The four below are considered Tone Mapped and over-compressed allowing for dramatic colors and moods.
The wedding of Brian and Katie at Mystic Dunes Golf Resort was a beautiful occasion. They are such a special couple. The love they share is very obvious. The highlight of the day was photographing them alone after the ceremony. We did some great shots on the golf course and in front of the clubhouse. The party that ensued was so much fun. I think the most touching moment for me as a photographer was not only when they were announced husband and wife, but when they made a special vow to Brian’s son during the ceremony. I know they are going to have a blessed marriage and a strong family. I feel priviledged to have been chosen to photograph this momentous day! Congratulations Brian and Katie! I hope to remain a part of you memories in the future.
This little guy is definitely the happiest baby on the block! Photographing Noah’s first birthday was a blast. It was so much fun watching him dive into his cake. His smile is contagious. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this special day Kalon and Lesley. I look forward to capturing more memories for your family.
I had such a great session with Ricardo, Rachel, Grace and Luke this past Sunday! We met up in Celebration, Fl and enjoyed a beautiful, sunny day playing and making some great memories.
My nephew Andrew is quite the basketball player for a 1st grader! I had such a fun time watching his pee-wee basketball team. It was the perfect time to test my new Nikon D-3 with some action shots. It performed beautifully. My wife Jill and I love visiting Jasper, her hometown in Georgia. It is a beautiful little mountain town. The people are so friendly. Enjoy the little guys as the play some ball.
What an amazing time I had photographing the Dunn family. Maya Lily is certainly a precious gift all the way from China. What a blessing that she now has a wonderful mom and dad in Patrick and Aleisa! We started our shoot at Heritage Park in Celebration. Maya had a blast going down the slide, kicking her ball and pretending to be a lady bug. Her sweet smile will make you heart melt, but seeing the love in her parent’s eyes is even more rewarding while photographing. We finished our session at the quaint Savannah Square. Thank you Dunn family. I can’t wait to capture more of your special moments.
