Often at weddings one only sees the obvious, one usually looks for what is there, as wedding photo journalists we strive constantly to do this, but we also strive to go a step further. Yes, we capture the moments that our clients expect, and those that are the standard, but often, we capture moments in between. The instances that involve family, guests, and even the bride and groom themselves.
With this approach in mind, our clients come home after a wonderful honeymoon and shortly thereafter are presented with the wedding day from a different perspective. It is thrilling to see the reactions from our clients as they watch their slide show for the very first time. Usually there are tears of joy, giggles, and heartfelt laughter when they see their new spouses in anticipation of the ceremony, grandparents getting funky on the dance floor, a glimpse of their beautiful flower girl blowing out the candles on the wedding cake table, or an image of the bride’s father seeing his little girl for the first time in her wedding gown.
These are the moments that are usually observed by us as wedding photo journalists. It’s not about the obvious, it’s about anticipating what is about to happen, and following the moments that lead to that very instance. Another great reason why my husband and I make it a point to become well acquainted with our clients, their families, wedding party, their traditions, cultures, and yes, dynamics. We often direct our clients in our secret approach and this usually allows for an unobtrusive and smooth work flow on what is a hectic and emotional day.
We would like to share images from our recent and past work that shows the wedding photography from another perspective, our very own. We relish in capturing these moments and freezing time just for our clients. These moments are dear, these moments are there and these moments are cherished wholeheartedly forever and ever.
If you are currently seeking your wedding photographers, we would LOVE to “connect” with you, and meeting you to hear how we can assist in telling your wedding story. You can also find us on Facebook

I am so excited with the entire experience of our first large bridal faire, I just couldn’t wait to share it with all of you! Last Sunday our day began with enthusiasm and excitement as we were driving to the Claremont Resort to setup our booth for the Annual Modern Bridal Faire. The excitement was such that it took me back to my very own 2007 wedding experience, and I was ready to share that love and meet brides from all over!

Along with meeting a GREAT group of ladies and gentlemen, we set up a fun photo station, with fun sexy cowboy hats, and feather boas galore. Everyone who came to meet us was photographed and it was an overall great time! I met many beautiful brides to be from all walks of life, and yes, I spoke to each and every one of them! The brides were thrilled to learn we were giving away an Engagement Session, and I later decided to give several sessions away! I was truly inspired and I look forward to seeing and photographing these fabulous people real soon! Our phone’s ringing off the hook, but it’s only because we had fun and in turn, so did the brides….and my Faire Ladies….THEY ROCK!!! See for yourselves!
I would also like to acknowledge and thank all of those who assisted in the success of this event.
Set design Wayne Yasuhara and David Gogna, inspired by Bambi Cantrell.
