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.

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
