The true cost of wedding photography…
Whatever Wednesdays are back! I felt compelled to post this. Yes, the country is in a “recession”. I get that, but if we’re in a recession, why is it that people still have no problem spending money on high end goods? One of my good photographer friends, Karen Stott of Avayah Photography, wrote a great post on hiring a professional photographer. The Craigslist ad she mentions was quite the talk of the wedding photography industry. I don’t want to seem like a grumpy photographer but it’s so disheartening sometimes when I meet with great couples but

Change is Good
Just as I was starting to catch up on my blog posts, I failed again! BUT for good reasons this time, I swear! The end of June proved to be a time of some changes, specifically for myself as a photographer. If you haven’t heard of Dane Sanders from myself or other photographers, he’s the most REAL photographer you will ever meet. Dane started his Fast Track Roadshow Workshop a few months ago based on his book Fast Track Photographer. I gotta tell ya, his book is like no other photography book. You aren’t going to learn
Aurelio & Julieta 40 Year Wedding Anniversary Party- 01.31.09
As I mentioned a few blog posts ago, I was going to be taking some photos of Aurelio & Julieta. They are the parents of our good friends Joanne and Alicia. Well they asked their daughters to put the anniversary party together with a small budget and sure enough they came through. The party was held at Delight Dance Studio in Chino, CA.

So I was diggin’ through my library of photos and totally forgot about Peter & Robin’s wedding. Probably because I took these way before my blog and website were made! I can’t believe I forgot about them (I mean the pictures)! Anyways, here’s a few of my favorites. These were taken with my Sigma 24-70 f/2.8 which I think I got only a few days before their wedding! Anyways Peter & Robin have been friends of ours for a while and we were happy to be a part of their intimate wedding. You may have seen pictures of Peter before
Nick & Paola's Wedding – 09.07.08
Paola was a train buddy of Erika and was very thoughtful in inviting us to their special day. It was at the Clarke Estate in Santa Fe Springs. It’s a beautiful location with its huge lawn and courtyard area. The ceremony was outside on the front lawn while the reception was in the back courtyard. For a photographer, the lighting was harsh at around 3:00pm with direct sunlight to our backs during the ceremony. And it was HOT! I’m sure the official photographers captured the shots as the altar area was shaded and
