Explored a new town.
Found a secret lair.
Climbed a tree (twice).
Stepped in bird poop.
And got to hang out with this awesome couple.
I’d say this engagement shoot was a success!

These guys are no stranger to the blog. Paperscissor is Evan Crowley (vocals), Cameron Mintz (guitar), Caleb Tullis (guitar), Josiah Tullis (bass), & Clayton Stroup (drums). Go check out their song Dream Cure Magic Attack here– it’s my favorite. And grab free downloads while you’re there!

Mad Manhattan is the new project of a good friend and very talented musician, Jon King. (This guy of multiple talents also designed my current portfolio website!) I hung out for one of their band practices to get some shots as they move toward preparing the record. Check out the first single “Shadow Talk” on their Facebook Page. Members pictured are Jonathan King (vocals, guitar), Jeremy Irons (keys), Cody Bass (drums), and Carlton Dorsey (bass).

Paperscissor had their EP release at The Conservatory in Oklahoma City, and they put on their usual high energy show! Tracks from “Dream Cure Magic Attack” can be heard on their Facebook Page. The OK Gazette even did a writeup about the band before the release, which can be read here. I was excited to have them publish promo photos I took for the band with the article. The guys will be playing a set at Free Tulsa at the end of July, so if you’re planning on going- check them out!

The Dangerous Summer
War Paint Tour
March 15th, 2012
The Conservatory, Oklahoma City, OK
I saw this group for the first time when they opened for The Secret Handshake about three years ago now. I was so impressed that I bought their current CD at the time, Reach for the Sun, and it didn’t leave my car CD player for two months. Since then, they’ve been back to OKC twice and have found a permanent place in my heart. I could gush some more.. but I’ll just show you some photos from their most recent show instead! The Conservatory continues to keep me on my toes with it’s less than substantial lighting, so forgive me!
