I don’t usually write much on blog posts anymore, but the combination of Brush Creek Ranch, Beno and Alexi and my brother Otto was too much. Too much beauty, too much kindness, too much appreciation. And that goes for all of them. Brush Creek is just an incredible venue with the friendliest, most accommodating staff I have ever come across. Beno and Alexi are absolutely special, special people, and made us feel like guests at the wedding. And of course Otto, ‘friend’ doesn’t do you justice, you are truly my brother. Thanks for having me.
Oh, and side note, I shot this entire wedding on a Nikon D800. That’s right.

Daniel Chowen - Erik, I can feel the wooden walls and taste the kicked up dust, to some these are small insignificant details, but viewed here as an important part of the story. Those details, you (and Otto) capture are so important when showcasing the art of each venue and couple. I know your clients choose you guys so that they can appreciate the day years from now using all of their senses. Well done… a true fan.
