“One of us is Minimalist, the other is maximalist- minimalism kept us focused on important things, and maximalism explains the loud design. The details we did have felt special and true to us.” – Alli Rock N Roll Bride Magazine featured this intimate Joshua Tree wedding in their September Issue.

Milky Way anza Borrego from Nicole Caldwell on Vimeo. Astrophotography in one of my favorite places on this Earth, Borrego Springs. Located san Diego County, this designated dark sky community is the place to come see the stars. The Perseids are one of the brighter meteor showers of the year. They occur every year between July 17 and August 24 and tend to peak around August 9-13. Here are some fun shots of the town on 35MM LEICA FILM CAMERA.

In Lieu of trash the dress, we celebrated with a dip lakeside. Kodak gold film, a minolta 35mm camera, and 2 oversize cactus. These two married in Joshua Tree intimately: parents only ( see photos here). Then celebrated via dance party Lakeside in the brides hometown in Michigan with family & friends. Bringing the cacti from Joshua Tree to the Lake. wedding Day!
Aerial photography wedding party aftermath in Michigan. These two were originally eloped in Joshua Tree, so we brought a little bit of the desert ( cacti floaties) to the Lake. Selfie with the bride & groom.

Kodak vision 3 cinema film now available in 35mm film! After seeing Paul Tomas Anderson’s Licorice pizza shot on this, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it.

Shot with my trusty Minolta. Below are the non film- love my digtial too, […]

52 hours in 60 seconds. America the Beautiful. From Chicago, through Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah, Nevada and ending in the California Frisco Bay, damn this country is gorgeous. You can see my hotel, Hyatt Place from the Train- pedestrian bridge led right to it. If you plan to have parties, they have a strict no party policy. My idea of partying? Timelapse of San Francisco from the balcony. A cozy roomette, two chairs that convert into a bed. I bring […]
