WPPI

WPPI is coming up around the corner.  We weren't planning on going but have had so many people asking if we were going to be there that I decided last minute to head out there for a few days.  It is always such a fun event, we are getting excited!  I hope to meet some of my blogreaders out there, if you are going send me an email and we can try to get together.  My schedule is getting pretty full already and we will only be there for a few days, but we can always get together for a little while for Coffee.

Trash the wedding dress

Trash the Dress

Is your wedding dress just sitting in your closet, collecting dust never to be looked at again?
Do you think you daughter will wear your dress in 30 years?  Probably not.
Why not bring the dress back out for one last photo shoot.  You know that you wanted to get some creative, fun shots on your wedding day but were too worried about getting dirty.  Now that the wedding is over bring the dress back out and have fun.  We can do a bridal shoot for you at any location, maybe you want to lay in the sand at the beach and get wet, anything is possible.  Check out this amazing site for some great examples:
http://trashthedress.com/

The springtime is the perfect time to get these images done, contact us to setup a shoot.

Dan and Daniellas wedding day

Congrats to Dann and Daniela who were married last weekend in Aptos!
You guys are such a great couple and I was honored to be a part of your day.

One part of the wedding day that is always such an amazing part to witness is right after
the ceremony ends and the quick moment that the bride and groom  have alone.  Dann and Daniella
were just glowing as they exited the church and embraced each other.  It was so wonderful
to see the radiance coming from the two of them, they are a really cute couple.

Here are a few of the images from right after the ceremony:

Apple iPhone

In case you missed the ad last night during the academy awards for the iPhone coming out, Apple has it on their homepage
http://www.apple.com/
I thought it was a pretty cleaver ad to air during the academeny awards and really can't wait until
this phone comes out in June.  I have had a Treo for about 3 years now and do really like the phone, it synch's all my contact's and calendar info so I am always organized.  But the touchscreen capabilities of the iPhone and it is  afull video iPod and the best part is the Wifi capabilities really have me excited.  With so many places nowadays with Wifi service you can get online with a full brower right from your phone, it's like a mini computer.  I can get rid of my phone and video iPod and replace it with this one gadet which is pretty cool

Everyone have a great Monday!

Some more engagement photos

Some more engagement shots

Here are some of the Retro series we did for Marissa and Lawrence.  He really had the jump kick down and
really reminded me of someone from the first godfather series with that hat and suspenders, very cool.











We also did a club scene where they changed into formal wear and got some cool studio shots:
