Not a normal moment to have been captured. Here the couple stayed after our romantics at the church to practice their first dance. Are you planning to have a formal dance for your first dance?

The spectrum of weddings since Covid have been all@over the place. From intimate weddings that include the photographer and the couple ans and an officiant to 300 guests strong and 16 in the wedding party. Others have kept the wedding day very private and then celebrate their photos a few days later. Everything is acceptable. It’s your wedding day, do as you please.

Imagine that you lost your wedding day photos. Imagine you had never actually saved them.

Yep let that sink in…. Do you have your wedding backed up in more than one place?

Well a few days ago one of my couples from 2015 messaged me asking if I still had them. Well it was a good luck bad luck thing…. I still had some low res files that I used to make for couples so they could easily post on social media. But they would never be able to be printed.

But luckily I still had the RAW files. Yes all of them. Now I’ve never told any clients that I’d keep their files that long. In fact I never say it will be available after 1-2 years. But I’m glad that I was able to redo their editing for them and give them a fresh look.

Coupes- always back up your wedding photos. USB thumb drives are a great way to transfer files but I’d never trust them over a long period of time. DVD is completely obsolete and extremely restrictive based on current file sizes from current cameras.

Imagine leaving Canada to come to LA to get engaged. Well that’s what this couple did! And I was lucky to have been chosen to capture this moment.

Imagine having 450 images captured at your wedding…. In only 3 hours. That’s how fun this couple was on their wedding day. Great friends and family too! And to top it that’s how many I provided edited out of 2700 captured for this event.

How many photos did you get when you were married?

She got a ring and he got a kiss or 20… that’s a fair trade for sure.

I get asked all the time if I do celebrity photo shoots but for me, I like to make everybody feel like a rockstar!

It’s not everyday that a couple asks me to take them away from their wedding so they can celebrate their wedding day where they had their first date up into Angeles Crest

It’s great to be able to take the weight of your wedding day and lose yourself with laughter.

RIP Mr Sutherland

I had a random encounter with him back in 1989 or so when I was working for Circuit City in Santa Ana. He walked in while I was cleaning up a counter and as I looked up he said “I need batteries for this.” I knew the voice before I had even seen his face. He explained it wasn’t his and that it belonged to his son. I said “no problem Mr Sutherland, is Kiefer here?” He seemed surprised I knew him and was impressed I knew Kiefer. I got the batteries and he paid and ran out. Apparently they were headed to John Wayne Airport. Before I even had a chance to tell anyone who I had helped he walked in and called me to the front door. “How do I put these damn things in?” Oh, I so wanted to go out to the car where I could see Kiefer sitting but I just opened the PDA and swapped the batteries. Off he went.

Thank you Donald for a lifetime of amazing performances. You always brought a new level to every movie you ever performed in.

Sorry for your loss
