What?? No pictures at your ceremony?

-By Tiny Comet

By far the oddest request I’ve had for weddings this year was from this couple.

Cliff & Jjana:  “Could you NOT shoot pictures at the ceremony?”

Me:  “No pictures at the ceremo–…” THUD! I fall to the ground.

When I finally came to I was in a hospital and was told I’d been in a coma for 12 years. That’s weird… I must have traveled back in time during my coma.

But as much as I tried to convince the beautiful couple to let me take pictures during the ceremony, they insisted that as stage actors currently living in DC, they’d become too aware of themselves with a camera clicking away to be natural during the part of the wedding they didn’t want anyone to remember in any way but in their hearts.

I respect that. They knew what they wanted, they knew what they were giving up but felt that what they were gaining was greater.

Cliff & Jjana were an absolute dream to work with. Very laid back and the coolest personalities.

Pointe Digital is Shooting My Wedding!

-By Bride Guest

August 9th 2010

Pointe Digital has been AMAZING to work with, April took my pictures. We met up and it was so windy outside! I knew we would have a hard time getting some good shots with out my hair flying all over the place. As soon as we met up she asked me if I wanted to reschedule for the following morning because of weather (YES!) She was so sweet to reschedule so easily with out any fees or problems. The next morning was beautiful, I am in love with her work. I can’t wait for the wedding day to see more pictures and the video they will be doing of us :D

John & Amy were an absolute joy to work with. Not only was every little detail of their wedding gorgeous, their reception center’s location was breathtaking (the Loews Hotel on Lake Las Vegas) and to top it all off, they were both filled with energy and fun throughout the day and well into the night!

Celebration

-By Tiny Comet

April 20th 2010

Evelyn and Yuly (pronounced Julie) came to me all the way back in January of last year. Yup, these two are big-time planners! One of the few same-sex marriages I’ve shot since starting as a photographer, their chemistry quickly became apparent to me and it was a joy working with them as we inched closer and closer to their wedding Read more…

Photo Booth Love

-By Funny Face Photo Booth

February 19th 2010

We all have one.  Somewhere in a scrapbook or under a pile in a box is a narrow strip of four pictures, probably black and white, bursting with familiar faces and funny smiles.  The joy and spontaneity of a moment frozen in time thanks to four quarters and a cramped photobooth.  They can’t help but bring a smile.  These photobooth pictures are reminiscences of the past, but they are also waves of the future.  Couples are now bringing that same whimsical fun to their wedding days by renting photobooths for their receptions, a popular trend that has finally reached Utah.

blogentry1photo 102x300 Photo Booth Love

These are not your parents’ photobooths, however.  The metal walls and musty curtains have been replaced by stylish construction and elegant draperies; the chemical processing has been supplanted by digital technology; and the wait-time has been reduced to almost nothing.  The fun, though, is exactly what it’s always been – contagious! The concept is simple and familiar, but the innovations are brilliant.  Guests gather inside the booth and, using an LCD monitor mounted below the camera, center themselves and check their poses.  Some photobooth companies also supply props like Read more…

The Skinny on Looking Skinny

-By Definition Images

February 8th 2010

“Make me look skinny”. I hear that all the time at all types of photo shoots. I hear it from brides at their weddings, from girls doing a boudoir session and even during family picture sessions from grandma. Yes, I even say it when my husband takes snapshots of me. Of course we all want to look our best. Photographs are reflections of us and are meant for others to see.

So, here are some tips and tricks to make sure you look like your best (and skinniest) self in snapshots.

1. Watch your posture. Read more…

Wedding Lost……..

-By Ryan Cummings Photography

October 26th 2009

It happened.   I knew it would eventually, but it has finally happened.  Sadly, it happened to a good friend of my wife’s family.  The bride went about her routine finding the best wedding dress, the best flowers and the best reception venue.  Then it came time to decide on the photography.

As a family friend I offered my services.  The bride, feeling that she could get a “better deal” opted for a less expensive photographer.

After her engagement portrait session I reviewed the pictures.  Immediately, I saw that the pictures were out of focus.  I told the bride of my concerns about the quality of the photography.  The bride asked the photographer about it and the response was that it was for “creativity.”  The bride decided to give her photographer another chance and had her do her bridals.  Again, the pictures came back out of focus, poorly composed Read more…

On Focus – Trends in Wedding Photography

-By LatterDayBride

June 17th 2009

Trash The Dress
So what do you do with your wedding dress after the wedding? The standard treatment is to vacuum seal it and store it away in the hopes that one day in 20 years or so your daughter will want to wear it to her wedding (suuure she will). Some brides have a different answer – they trash the dress! For photos and video, of course.
 
While clearly not to everyone’s taste, the trend follows the logic that a bride will never really get a second wearing out of her dress, and many of them want to create a unique and indelible memory without having to worry about keeping the dress pristine.
“We’ve seen brides under water, brides in the mud, brides and grooms having paint fights and even one bride on fire!,” says Mitch Burt of ZumaPhoto. “But those are extreme examples – it doesn’t need to be that crazy to be unique. It’s really about creating, not destroying.”
