Montage Beach in Laguna Beach area.
Note that most of the bridal pictures that day were taken at Soka University.
But the title of the post is beach bridals so I just added those (just the horizontal ones)

It’s about them creating memories… and I’ll be there to capture them.
One more of my recent receptions to bring home the point(s)
- I like full day weddings.
- I like capturing the events and emotions of the day.
- I’m more photojournalistic than formal/traditional.
- I do more than the couple pictures stuff.
So here’s what often goes on in the receptions. (The other stuff)
Emotion of the Day
This is really what i think I excell at.
I take good couple pictures and stuff. But I really enjoy taking the totally unposed and unexpected pictures.
Capturing the feeling and emotions of the day and of the people.
TAKE NOTE
So if you’re out there looking for a photographer take note:
I’m more into the full day wedding thing.
Take a look at what I do… is this what you want?
If you want someone to show up for 2 hours and take totally formal pictures… you’d be happier with someone else, and probably pay less.
And I’ll be happier taking care of the couples who want emotion filled and often candid shots.
And if all you want is group pictures… Ummm pass.
Rockin the Receptions!
I post so much stuff of the couple… but let’s take a moment to see some of the other people and things going on.
So it was a couple weeks ago that I was in Manti, Utah doing a wedding.
We just finished with the group pictures.
We were a few pictures into the couple shots and they were running a bit late to start with.
I wanted to go up around the building (temple) the other way around and take a picture with the temple in the background.
As soon as we started to go up the hill it started to rain a little. By the time we got up the hill it was too late… the rain started to come down in buckets.
I used my reflector to try to cover them up… but they were still game for one last picture.
Of course it was bound to be awesome! Too bad you can’t see just how much rain was falling.
We were all soaked to the bone.
On the drive back I don’t think I’ve seen rain fall that hard in years.
Ok so it’s just the coolest so far and that I’ve personally done.
And mostly cool because the results are pretty rockin’ as far as I see.
See a select gallery of about half the images I picked and edited…

And below I’ll throw on some thumbnails in case you don’t want to venture beyond the blog and see them bigger.
It helps to have such a good subject!
See my previous post for more on the subject of why it was such a good shoot.

A couple of Notes
I walked up and down the route of the parade with my new fun lens.
Let me just tell you it’s much better than standing (or sitting) in the same spot for the whole parade.
It’s also nice to only live 3 blocks from the parade route.
ALSO… having a 70-200 2.8 makes a parade much more enjoyable.
I took a ton… but I’ll just post a couple of them here.
If you think I took a picture of you I can get you a link to the full gallery online.
I took my second camera with the wide/medium zoom but I hardly used it… I suppose it was still useful to make me look semi-important. haha
I also hung out with a friend Gordon who was shooting pictures for the Freedom Festival magazine.
Now for the FUN part… Let me tell you a STORY
Let’s start this off on a patriotic note!
Not as many flags but still as cool.
But don’t worry these kids had flags to spare.
These things were all over the place
… I meant the snapper things.
But yeah kids too!
More kids… some sat, some stood, others… they were more squatters.
And they liked to point at stuff

Straight from the camera.
Don’t have time to edit… so I’m just tossing them straight online.
Here’s the deal on these pics…
Take them, use them, just don’t abuse them.
My pictures are meant to be seen…
However, I do enjoy knowing where they go.
If you need larger… they’re stored somewhere else online, i can get you the gallery location if you want.

There’s seriously hundreds if not thousands of people in the pictures so most people will be in there in some way.
Thanks,

This is totally for real.
A 5 minute walk out on the lake on a nice sunny day with nothing but white surrounding us.
Pretty crazy stuff.
I’ve been wanting to do pictures on a frozen lake for a while.
It was worth the wait.
And thanks to my new D300 camera it handled the exessive amounts of White very well.

I have begun my first print project ever.
I am starting off with 21 pictures from Europe.
They will be a limited edition series of 20 pictures each.
They are defaulted to be 11×14 prints
They are mounted with a nice solid backing
And they are all coated with a nice protective finish.
Each picture is individually signed electronically
It is done in photoshop (with a pen)
and numbered as part of the series.
http://www.jarviestudios.com/europe/EuropePrintSet1/
This being the first time I try to sell individual prints
(instead of focusing on making money through events and weddings)
I am still trying to figure out a pricing strategy.
For now the Retail Price will be $95
(Which I know to be very low for this kind of work)
But starting off it is just fine for me and based on the economy in my immediate surroundings it can’t be too high.
The price will be raised when the prints become more scarce in the series.
If you are reading this blog then I will state that for the first little while I will offer them at $45
This will be available for the first 5 for any one picture in the series for a limited time. (at 11×14)
Look for another 20 images or so to be added to this European series sometime in the beginning of next year.

These girls were amazing and the landscape was beyond words.
Ferns changing to orange and yellow and trees of every shade of fall.
Mountains in the background and beautiful Aspens everywhere.
The girls were into it, didn’t take excuses and worked the camera.
It was funny, silly, and a bit over the top for them at times…
but…. heh great pictures came out of it all so it worked out nice.
From funny, to sad, from sassy, to sweet they did it all.
Check out the galleries
This has probably been one of my favorite photo shoots to date… after doing this I thought I could do this full time and leave the weddings behind. But weddings pay the bills.
Stadium of fire provided a new opportunity and a new type of pictures.
Fireworks… not very hard to take pictures of (if you have a tripod) but very rewarding.
The pictures sometimes looks like they are of space or electrons scampering about.
Where to start with all the pictures?
While I still haven’t posted pictures from last year’s trip to Europe I did decide to work on a smaller event.
I went to DC for two weeks… actually I was also in Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania and North Carolina.
I took 4500 pictures while there and was able to limit these galleries down to 317. I’m pretty proud of myself.
I will also eventually be using over 1600 of these pictures for use in The Envision the World Project.
Many of the other pictures were of friends and family. You can see more information about these pictures on a post on my personal blog.
The galleries are divided up as so…
DC
VA & MD
Gettysburg
Amish
Outer Banks
