When my friends asked me to cover their wedding I was pumped. I was there for their surprise engagement, their baby announcement and so it only made sense to be there on their special day of becoming a family (legally). Casey looked as gorgeous as any bride I've ever seen and her bridal party was stacked! John looked big and strong and the groomsmen were studly in their matching blue suits and brown shoes. The weather was perfect, and it was a beautiful day.
I never would have thought that when I submit my first picture to CrossFit.com that I would actually have one make the main page, a couple years later and I'm still getting lucky. People ask me all the time I'm constantly submitting content, but the answer is that I only submit the small handful of photos that I think have the main page look. This one I actually submit twice, once last year and once this year as I saw it again. This picture was from the Whiskey Throttle Throwdown. 
This is the third picture that made it on the main page from the CrossFit Outcome Tag Team Throwdown. 
Here's another one from my friends over at CrossFit Outcome on Bainbridge Island. This was my second time shooting the Tag Team Throwdown and these are siblings Shelley and Sherman Leddon
This picture was from the Invictus camp at CrossFit Marysville, and Rasmus pulling the sled. My favorite thing about the picture is the sweat dripping off his face. He's a great athlete and even nicer human being.
My third time going back-to-back on the CrossFit main page. This one was from the Jumpbox Fitness apparel shoot.
CrossFit Outcome is my home away from home. I seriously love these people.
When your BFF's hit the main page, it's a proud moment. Here's Scott cheering on John Winters at a fund raiser. It's also Scott's third time hitting the main page in 12 days, what a superstar.
Everything in life is cyclical, but working your ass off and trying to get on CrossFit.com requires a lot of patience. There are long months when I submit amazing content and it never gets used, then you catch fire and they post three of your pictures in one week. I honestly don't submit that many pictures, maybe 5 per month, it really depends on whether I'm getting main page quality pictures. I liked this one of Rasmus because even his sweat is much stronger than the average person's. The rope attached to the sled draws your eyes into this powerful athlete. My only concern was that it didn't show his face, although it gives it a mysterious feel.
Looks like CrossFit's hottest couple is back on the main page four days later. This picture was from CrossFit Open workout 16.2. It's very similar to my 15.4 picture that made it on the main page (See 15.4 Here) where the judge is actually what tells the story of the picture. Scott complains that he's been on the main page twice, but hasn't actually been working out. He complains about everything, so it means he's happy.
Sometimes you just have get outside and catch a sunset WOD. I love working out with these guys. Scott was definitely trying to help Dafina get some gainz and BAM! people take notice. 
Wow, this was one of my favorite pictures taken in the Fall and I think the colors in it reflect that. I really like the purple and yellow blended together, it's like trees inside a CrossFit gym. Katie is a total badass who came to CrossFit Loft from Cincinnati. She's going to kick ass in the open. 
Here's another great main page photo from the Gains for Good fundraiser that CrossFit Loft hosts annually to help raise money for the local community. One hundred percent of the money raised is donated to a local family in need. I'm not rich, perfect, or even half as funny as I think I am, but I try to give my time and energy to great causes like this to contribute. Those who have the power to help other should give more. These are the most rewarding moments in the CrossFit community. 
Here are a handful of other pictures from Austin
Here's another main page picture of Millie Osborne at CrossFit Loft. I actually submit this about a week ago after seeing the large poster that we made at the gym to hang in our Wall of Fame. I thought it looked like it deserved to be on the main page and BAM! My favorite thing about the CrossFit community is how much it empowers women, and even though Millie was strong and athletic when she first came to CrossFit Loft, she's ten times more confident with herself and her body now. I'm looking forward to watching her grow as an athlete.
