It’s alive!!  I am very proud to announce our new online home -

www.lukewalkerphotography.com

I could not be happier with the job Elevation did for me.  Gary, Mike, and Jared did an absolutely phenomenal job creating this beast and really making my vision come through.  I signed up with them to create an overall brand that is second to none, so this is just the beginning, but it’s one heck of a beginning and I am very proud of our accomplishment. 

For the photographers (and business owners in general) out there…. I cannot recommend these guys enough.  In addition to the phenomenal job they did for me, you’ve undoubtedly seen their stuff elsewhere as they’ve worked with some of the biggest names in the industry.

Thanks so much for checking out the new site everyone, and tell all of your friends! :)

A while back I started to realize how much the business had grown, and how it had become obvious that I needed to make the move to Manhattan and to develop and life long brand.  As you all know I closed on a Manhattan studio (and we are in the process of getting the furniture and designing the interior currently), and I’ve been hinting on the brand for a while.  Well the first portion of the brand is about to be launched. 

Keep an eye out for the brand new site to be launched around Wednesday the 31st (approx right now).  After that I will slowly release some images from time to time of the business cards, letterhead, custom printed DVDs, cases, and other brand collateral that we are producing.  Also, keep an eye out for more magazine editorial announcements.

I just made submissions to Bride and Bloom magazine and Wedding Style magazine (with a call for tabletops and cakes).  I figured I’d post some detail shots that I submitted that have never been on the blog.  Enjoy!

Earlier today Alisha and I had lunch with our friends Mary Beth Longo (the best videographer in Upstate NY) and Lauren Tillapaugh (the coordinator at the Aurora Inn), and of course it was a great afternoon.  I’m slightly bummed Ali’s first time at the Aurora Inn had to be during the winter when it’s obviously not nearly as beautiful, but either way the food is always worth the trip and the company was great. 

After lunch we drove to Rochester and met up with Elizabeth Davis, the owner of Juliana’s, to take a peak at some of their designer gowns.  If I had to pick a "favorite" designer of mine it would probably have to be Monique Lhuillier, and she can be hard to find on the east coast.  Juliana’s is the only place in Upstate that carries Monique, along with Reem Acra and Vera Wang, so I wanted to stop by. 

After the stop at Juliana’s, Alisha and I headed back up to Niagara Falls again! :)  You might remember our entry from back in the summer time when we had an amazing 3 or 4 day stay up here, but this is a much shorter stay.  We are only up here for the evening, and then headed back tomorrow afternoon.  The casino up here near the falls is the absolute best casino we have ever been to (and we’ve been to our fair share), so we just had to come back for the evening.  For those of you who have never been we highly recommend Liberty Ball.  My favorite game of all time.

The internet phenoms Myspace and YouTube have gotten so big it’s hard to ignore them anymore.  I have seen people start to really use these on their blogs to make them even more interactive and fun for people.  I’d like to figure out YouTube and start making some posts that way, and will soon hopefully, but in the mean time I’d like to post that I am indeed on Myspace and you can fine me here.

Feel free to add me as a friend, leave a comment, or snoop around :)

The first wedding of 2007 was a great one as I had the honor or photographing a great couple, and had Alisha Clark by my side doing it.  It has been a real pleasure getting to talk and email with Niki in the months leading up to the wedding, I knew she loved my work and had the greatest attitude going in to the wedding.

Everything looked beautiful, thanks so much for having us at your wedding Niki!

PS – Some of the images below are Alisha’s (of course), please feel free to visit her blog to see more of her amazing work.

Alisha has a brand new website launching soon (I’ll announce when it’s ready), and she needed a new shot of herself for the site.  When we were in the city for NYE I grabbed a couple shots of her in the streets between the ceremony and reception.  The first one was the obvious choice for the site, but the second one is yet another example of why Alisha is universally called "cute" by everyone who’s met her…
