hello, nice to meet you.

We're illuminare photography + cinematography and this blog/website serves as our initial meeting ground, allowing you to get to know us and our work a little better. While we have a portfolio section and frequently post blog highlights from our weddings and portrait shoots, we also keep the blog rolling with a bunch of various photos and videos that we do for ourselves when we're out just having a good time. We feel that it's important to share this side of ourselves and allow you to see who we are, how we work, and what we think is cool.

So sit back, relax and have fun browsing around! And if you feel that we'd be a good match for you, we'd love to hear from you!

15K race-happy birthday me!

Friday, July 24, 2009 life in general

The too hot to handle 15K race was on July 18, the day after my birthday! So I decided a few months back that my birthday present to myself would be the ability to run 9.3 miles! The farthest I had run at one time before was 7 miles so I was a little nervous about it!

A couple of our friends also signed up for the race and my good friend Vanessa and I ran the whole thing together! It was great because we encouraged each other the whole way and kept a very consistent 10min/mile pace. I finished in 1:33:36 which is right where I thought I’d be.

Bret didn’t want to run so he came for moral support and shot some photos of us!
