Anchorage Alaska Temple Photoshoot

The Temple

As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the temple is a special place.  This temple in particular is where I proposed to my wife ( a fun story, in and of it's self) as well as where we were sealed for time and all eternity.  A temple marriage is different from all other marriages because it is there that the sealing power is used to marry couples for all eternity!  What an incredible opportunity!

When I was asked to photograph the temple I of course was very excited.  I really wanted to find the right setting and to have it stand out!  It took some time and planning to get everything to come together at the right time and place, and I think we did it.  With the help of several people we were able to create this image of the Temple!  We took some creative license to really help it pop.

As an Architectural photographer I don't always get the opportunity to photograph something that means so much to me, so this was really special!

Twilight Shoot for 2304 Marston Drive

The Home

As soon as I pulled up to our photo shoot appointment, I knew that I would want to come back late at night to get a twilight shot of this home.  Unfortunately for us living in Alaska, twilight doesn't happen until 1 am this time of year.  Luckily my client was willing to stay up late otherwise we wouldn't have been able to get the shot that I had envisioned.  The design and layout of the home is unique to Anchorage, Alaska and I knew that it really would help set this home apart.

The original home was built in 1960 and is still a part of the existing structure as seen from this angle.  The homeowners simply added on the new addition in 2013, both upstairs and downstairs, giving it a new contemporary look and feel.

The Interior

Keeping with the modern exterior design, the interior of the home is furnished with an array of IKEA furniture and Jenn-Air Appliances.  The sun was sitting high in the sky by the time of our appointment and was barely coming through the big beautiful dining room windows, so we decided to bring in some of our own sun, like we have done on so many other homes.  We really wanted to people to see the benefit to those windows.

The design of the kitchen is refreshing to see, especially here in Anchorage where the majority of homes we photograph are very traditional.

I decided to shoot this a little more like a commercial shoot than a Real Estate shoot due to the design and layout.  There were just too many photographs popping into my mind as I composed each shot.  I ended up filling an entire memory card on just this one home, which is something I rarely due.

I always seem to take my favorite images towards the end of a shoot and this home was no exception.  This image was one of the last I took, and so far is one of my favorites of the entire space.
