As we continue to shoot this "The American Craft Brewer" project I am becoming more and more infatuated with the passion all these brewers have in creating craft beer. Listening to their stories and what they put into each different brew to make their beer unique is jaw dropping. There is something really unique happening in the craft beer world that you are going to want to be a part of, I really think this movement will be in the history books.
Yesterday, I was at Stone Brewing Co. to shoot some portraits and document the making of a collaboration brew between Stone, Victory and Dogfish Head. Once they tasted the test batch and all agreed upon the beer we got to see Greg, Bill and Sam "mash in" the first batch of this collaboration brew. I do not think I am at liberty to "sai" what it is yet but I will tell you that it will be amazing.
Here are a few shots from the day and one is of the "buff" boys adding in the specialty malts.

I had so much shooting this engagement session! When I met with Kristen and Morgan I knew that these two were going to be so much fun to work with. They are a great looking couple and such a cute chemistry with one another. I love shooting engagement sessions and getting to spend that time with each one of my clients. It is so crucial for me to get them comfortable being in front of the camera before there wedding day. I will be speaking about this at WPPI at the PRO DPI booth so stop by and check it out. Thank you again to Kristen and Morgan for such an awesome day!

Craft beer is an art form in and of itself! It has been so exciting to glimpse into the world of craft beer and hear the amazing stories of each of the brewers. The time, thought, science and creativity that goes into every craft beer is inspiring and heart warming. I really believe that craft beer is more of an experience offered then just having a beer.
The word "Pub" is short for the word "Public House". The idea is a place to meet, have fellowship, discuss politics and life and doing all of this over a nice glass of hand-cfrafted beer. The head brewers of each "Pub" take great pride in giving there patrons an excellent glass of beer to enjoy while meeting and discussing daily issues or just catching with their friends. This project of shooting and learning the stories of each brewer has been tremendously rewarding.
This is a shot of Shaun O'Sullivan from 21st Amendment brewery in San Francisco. He flew down yesterday to tell his story and let me grab a few shots of him. Check out his site and try one of his beers.

I know, two posts in one day! Yesterday I headed up to shoot with Heather and Ryan to Long Beach at yet another place that I have not yet shot an engagement session at and I was so excited with how they turned out. The light was amazing and Heather and Ryan were so great in front of the camera that it made my day very easy.
This is not a place that I would have picked to shoot but as I started shooting it reminded me that you can make amazing images anywhere, you just have to think about what your going to do and have a vision for what you want the final image to look like. I love shooting engagement sessions because I really get to know what my clients are like during our time together and see the little things they share in how they love each other.
Thank you Heather and Ryan for an awesome shoot and I can not wait for your wedding!
Heather says:

THAT's what I'm talking about! Steppin' it up my friend!
(03.04.10 @ 10:17 AM)Rock! That is the most hardcore photo I have EVER seen of a craft brewer. Also, you couldn't possibly have captured Bill's personality better than that. Bad ass.
(03.04.10 @ 11:20 AM)These pics are awesome! I'm so excited that you and Jared get to work on a project together. Not just any project, but a pretty epic one! :)
