Nathan + Alison | Boise Wedding Photography

It was a fun surprise for me to have the opportunity to shoot one more wedding in 2011.  Alison’s Mom contacted me about shooting her daughters wedding at Rembrandts Coffee House in Eagle, ID.  I LOVE Rembrandts.  They have this drink that I get almost every time I’m there.  I don’t even know exactly what…

Ask Me Anything

Lately I’ve been getting quite a few emails asking me about how I do things.  What gear I use.  How I edit, or lighting techniques.  About location scouting, or about client interaction.  So I’ve finally decided to join something called Formspring, where you can basically ask me anything.  But then the answers stay public so…

Our Trip to the Grand Canyon and Back

Some of you may know that my wife Luisa ran a marathon a few weeks ago.  When she decided to run it at the Grand Canyon, I decided that we were going to make a wonderful, long and adventurous trip out of it.  We drove (from Boise, ID) the entire way and had the time…

Sachin Khona - Oh man, these are amazing. Is there anything you can’t shoot well?

Beautiful Nate!

Really love the one with the flare sunlight and the one of you framed as a shadow.. epicness!

So good!

Congrats to Luisa again on her run! Incredible!

Laura Radniecki - Good grief, Nate. These are unbelievable! I’ve been to most of those places and I dare to say, I think you’ve made them more beautiful than they are in person. Or at least close. The Antelope canyon photos look like Peter Lik’s.

Did you carry a tripod with you on your hikes? Lenses you used for most of these?

You sure are a landscape photographer!

Lynn Demaray - WOW, gorgeous!!! These are amazing!! Love every single one of them. Your view on everything was just great and your images are great!! Love every one of them, how cool to be able to have them to hang in your home!

Nate Perkes - Thanks so much everyone! I appreciate it a ton. And Laura, I do usually carry a tripod with me. It’s a smaller one so it doesn’t weigh me down. Almost all these were taken on a tripod at about f/16-f/22 usually at a pretty slow shutter speed. I think almost every shot in here was taken with the Nikon 17-35 2.8 which is a great lens past f/5.6. Most of the Antelope Canyon pictures were 10-20 second exposures.

Teann - Wow! Those shots are amazing! Jace is so cute!

Sommar + Tom | Linen Building Wedding

(I prepared this blog post before I left on my wife and I’s trip to the Grand Canyon for her marathon.  I just didn’t realize it would take nearly 1o days to stay in a hotel where I had WiFi so that I could finish this post.  Finally, here in Moab UT, I now get…

Kelsie + Ben | Post Wedding Photo Shootout

Last week I had the awesome opportunity to get together with a group of photographers here in Boise to take Kelsie + Ben’s post wedding photos.  Kelsie and Ben were married a few weeks ago and were kind enough to let us use them as models for our group’s shoot.  It was a blast!  Kelsie…
