It’s #topnine of 2019 time and according to my matrix, you all are really interested in my American Ninja Warrior shenanigans as well as some of my selfies. • Let’s go ahead and combine those two and take a look back at some selfies I’ve taken with awesome ninjas at the beginning of my journey!

With American Ninja Warrior Season 12 audition submissions due this Friday, now’s a great time to share some of my journey in the ninja community during Season 11.⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ Here is one of my absolute favorite ninjas, Maggi Thorne. She is one of the most friendly and genuine person I’ve met in my entire life. Just being in her presence always brings a smile to my face. Maggi is a super awesome lady that anyone can look to for inspiration.⠀ •⠀ This portrait, on-set in L.A., we managed to get as the rain continued to fall more heavily, stopping production on the first night of taping. Maggi is a natural in front of the camera and rocked out what little time we had before the rain was too much.

With American Ninja Warrior Season 12 audition submissions due this Friday, now’s a great time to share some of my journey in the ninja community during Season 11.⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ Here is one of my favorite ninjas, Nick Hanson, the Eskimo Ninja. He is one of the ninjas I hadn’t met during my travels in Season 10 and I’m so glad I got to hang with him on set in Los Angeles this year. Great dude.⠀ •⠀ This portrait, on-set in L.A., we managed to get as the rain continued to fall more heavily, stopping production on the first night of taping. Nick used this photo to announce that he got the call for Season 11. Good ish!

This is what happens when you get professional comedians and long-time best friends together for formal portraits at a wedding. Love it. (Swipe for a non-cropped version of this photo.) •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Alayna and PJ’s beautiful wedding at Norfolk Botanical Gardens this year.⠀ •⠀ I have a bit of a history with these two guys, Matt Iseman (host of American Ninja Warrior and Live Rescue) and PJ Walsh (professional comedian and ninja on ANW seasons 7, 8, 9). Through a series of fortunate opportunities I was able to capitalize upon, I met PJ and his bride, Alayna, through mutual acquaintances. When PJ heard I would be traveling on my first of many trips to an ANW set, he offered to give his pal Matt a call and set me up as one of his VIPs. Both of these gents are so awesome and generous. During this journey of mine into the ninja community, I’ve gotten to know Alayna, PJ, and Matt; photographed a comedy show for PJ and Matt at the Virginia Beach Funny Bone; and, of course, photographed this wedding for Alayna and PJ.⠀ •⠀ Thank you, Alayna and PJ, for allowing me to become a part of your lives. Here’s to many more years of friendship!⠀ •⠀ Matt, thank you for recording my outgoing voicemail message. You’re the man!⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ @awalsh4life @pjwalshlive @mattiseman @norfolkbotanicalgarden @funnybonevb @ninjawarrior @eventfullychelseaweddings @eventfully_chelsea @cjenkinsrun #johncacherophotography #norfolkbotanicalgarden #americanninjawarrior #anw #anw11 #anw12 #comedian #standupcomedy #standup #comedy #groom #bestman #wedding #weddingphotographer #professionalphotographer @photosbyjohncachero (at Norfolk Botanical Garden) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5XtK7FByYn/?igshid=15zacqhfo6sjw

Here is my clip from last night! How about some FAQ's.... **Did the fall hurt? Actually, not at all! Maybe it was adrenaline! . ** What happened? I rushed it & I wish I had given it just one more swing to straighten out. **Will you get to be on the show again next year? I will apply again for sure! Over 70,000 people apply and only about 600 get the call. It was so much fun this year so I would love the opportunity to do it again! **Did you just get back from Las Vegas? Actually the Vegas finals were filmed in June! We have just had to keep the secret that long! The next 2 episodes are going to be really great - so tune in and keep watching! Cheer especially loud for my boy, @ninjabugman Thanks for all the support this year! It’s been an incredible journey, and I am so grateful for the opportunity to be on the show! Bucket list is checked off for sure! I had so much fun running the courses, hanging out with the ninjas, and even getting to hit one buzzer. What other questions do you have? #anw #ninjawarrior #americanninjawarrior #anw11 #vegasfinals #ninjakids https://www.instagram.com/p/B19dek0AvFS/?igshid=1gm9f0eh3ofxz
