Vendor of the week

From our new wedding blog at: http://www.wedclix.com/blog our vendor of the week:

Our vendor of the week is David from A Video Reflection (AVR). We had met David a few years back at some industry events and he came across as really a genuine good guy so I had to learn more about his videography. David has a passion for his work and capturing the spirit of a wedding day, he loves what he does and is great to work with at a wedding. He even shot my sisters wedding and did a fantastic job, everyone loved how he fit into the wedding just like he was part of the family.

Clos la Chance Winery wedding photos

Clos la Chance Winery, wedding photography by Stagi Imagery

Sometimes everything just comes together perfect for an image. Here is a shot from Christina’s wedding at Clos La Chance winery. I love the backlighting that windows give sometimes and in this one frame a bird flew right by the window (no photoshop here all natural!). I fired a few shots off to capture the bird in the frame and one shot just came out perfect. More to come from this great wedding later….

wedding photography blog

It's been awhile since I posted on here, we started a new blog for our wedding photography awhile back and was going to be updating both blogs for awhile so those of you that already have this site bookmarked or on your RSS feed wouldn't need to go to a new site. But as you can tell this blog has been neglected for a little while, I am going to make it a priority though to update this site also with some highlights and will get some photos and new wedding posts up on the site today.

You can also check our our new blog here: Stagi Imagery wedding photography blog

Thanks,

Thanks to all my wonderful clients

Thanks to all my wonderful clients

Shooting weddings is such a gratifying thing.  You get to be with the bride and groom and their family all day long and experience they day as if you were a family member.  Always at the end of the day you feel so close to the family since you are such a huge part of capturing their day.  I always put so much of myself into my work and strive to capture amazing images of my clients days.  After the wedding it feels so good to have the bride shed a tear when viewing her images for the first time, I know I  did my job right when that happens.
Or to hear confirmation from my clients that they love my images as much as I do, that just feels so good.

Here are a couple of comments from my brides, that were emailed to our online host pictage.com
-----------------
I can't say enough about Mark (Stagi Imagery). He has a way of taking pictures that captures the personalities of his clients. His work with color is amazing and his artistic touches make your photos very unique. On top of that, he was quick to respond to any questions I had and got our wedding pictures to us within a few weeks. Not only does he blend in with the crowd, but he loves what he does and that comes through in his work. Mark and his assistant were a joy to work with and I highly recommend him as a wedding photographer (though I'm sure does great portraits as well) :
-----------------
If you are looking for a GREAT photographer that captures every moment of your special day Mark Stagi is your man! His work truly unfolds like a story from beginning to end. His work fits the old cliche of "A picture is worth a thousand words" Thank you Mark =)
-----------------
Mark is amazing - his pictures capture feeling as well as static images. He is a great guy to work with and we're SO excited to have him photograph our wedding!

THANK YOU to all of my great clients for having me as a part of your wonderful day!!!

The wedding was such a blast and we captured some fun shots of the bride

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.
