Caroline and Remi are from france and live in Paris so I came over there to do their wedding pictures.
I offered to do couple pictures the day before their wedding and this is some of the results.
We started and ended the day at the eifel tower

She loves the Notre Dame so we got some awesome pictures there… the back in the garden is the best place to do it since it isn’t absolutely covered in people.

Sure the cool building was the other direciton but the great pictures, lighting and bakground was this direction.

It did rain on us and I used that change for a few cute candids

They got some looks by the tourists.

We had a covered bridge to provide some relief when it rained for a bit.
Btw it only rained for a small portion of the day.

Random covered sidewalk was probably one of my favorite lighting situations

Oh and here are a couple of the pictures I took while I waited for them to get ready at their apartment.

Nothing like a few moody lighting shots to go with the mood of paris.

I edited about 150 pictures pretty quickly after their wedding so they could show off and use pictures.

Many of them were the couple pictures.

Now a few months later I’ve finished editing the rest of their pictures. about 350 more

A Loving and Fun Catholic Wedding in Seattle

Posted by ScottJarvie at 9 August 2012

Category: (c) Mainly Pics, (d) Wedding Day Photography

0100_8D18369

I was so tempted to write a story to go along with every picture.
How I made the picture happen and why I feel it was important to them.

But then I realized… I think the picture will speak for itself.
That’s the hope.

I will say quickly that this was the first full ceremony catholic wedding I’ve ever done.
It was beautiful and the couple and the bridal party were sooo full of energy and personality that it was a perfect fit for my type of photography.
That being a photography of PERSONALITY

My many hundreds of shoots and years of creative problem solving in photography set me up to photograph any type of ceremony no matter that I hadn’t done it before.
Love is love, fun is fun and you can just tell when something special is going on and needs to be documented.

To see 200 more images that have been edited so far check the gallery out on my site:

It’s the Experience

The intent of this post is to prove the point : that sometimes you photograph for a while just to get the subjects prepped for that one epic moment.

0102_8D14266 0103_8D14268

On another note I don’t think people come to me to get engagement pictures for that one wedding announcement picture.
That might be kind of silly… I think they’re hoping for a set of pictures that share all the aspects of their relationship. A mini-scrapbook of their love story.

BTW you can see 150+ images in this gallery

0106_8D13629 0121_8D13738

0126_8D13878 0201_8D13899

In my mind their shoot is kind of like a third wheel Date with Jarvie – An expensive one

0134_8D13573 0136_8D13577

The beginning part of the shoot is often just to find the rythm and be comfortable. I believe it’s an art to making people comfortable or even happy in front of the camera… to ignore them when they talk about being nervous or whatever defense mechanism they have… and just start having fun.

0138_8D13594

Doing things like putting them in a tiny little alley way… mainly because you just are intrigued to see how it turns out. (And you think it’ll break down their pre-conceptions of what they’ll be doing)

OR… placing them next to a porta-potty … to make them laugh (or something like that)

0157_8D13701 0161_8D13712

But providing plenty of moments to be tender

0128_8D13938 0127_8D13934

0123_8D13744 0105_8D13954

0149_8D13641 0147_8D13636

And then of course what I’m good at… the joyful stuff

0180_8D13785

0200_8D13897 0199_8D13896

0216_8D13974

Then seeing how they react when they’re all by themselves for some individual portraits… gives me a perspective of where they’re willing to go or where they’re naturally drawn to

0130_8D14016 0131_8D14101

0221_8D14013 0172_8D13753 0173_8D13756 0174_8D13758 0219_8D14010

And then you’re at the END of the day and you bring out the fun lighting and things get a little more dramatic.

But by that time you’re all seasoned pros and they can handle a little more standing still and set up for lights and they’re comfortable and you know what their strong suits are… OR… they come up with something totally different and awesome

Tokyo Cherry Blossoms for the happy Googlers

Posted by kerineal at 11 April 2012

Category: (a) Engagement Pictures, (a) Portrait Photography, (c) Travel Photography, (C) What is Jarvie doing?

Tags: (a) Engagement Pictures, flowers, Japan, portraits, scott jarvie, Tokyo

(Originally written and posted by Scott Jarvie via Google+)

Yesterday one of the stops here in Tokyo was a popular park near Shinjuku station where thousands of people were gathered to see the cherry blossoms and have pic-nics.

About the couple
Jennifer and Tipp work for Google and are doing a sort of exchange in Tokyo for the year but will be back by the end of the year for their wedding in the Bay Area.

About the picture
I was doing a lot of my typical close up shots when Jennifer challenged me to try getting a shot that had tons of a tree. Well that proved difficult for a few reasons… the major one was that almost every tree was swarmed by dozens of visitors and doing a wide angle meant much more chance of getting someone else in it. I even thought it’d be impossible at first… but I kept searching for something. I took a bunch of other pictures with an attempt to get something but I didn’t enjoy the style of the picture and this one happened because the clients didn’t walk to the place I was thinking to try next. Well it was a great thing because when I saw where they were standing I knew in an instant the type of shot that would work… and it was nothing like I thought when I was originally given the challenge and perhaps nothing like they had envisioned. But it certainly tells the story of the cherry blossoms and puts them right in the thick of things.

I think the moral of the story is that it’s alright to let your clients give ideas and take them and roll with the challenge. Hopefully they are challenges and not specific requests because that can be pretty limiting to creativity. Don’t give up too easy… I might have thought the challenge pretty impossible given the circumstances but the only thing I really needed was to be more creative. Good thing I was able to stumble upon the solution.

More photo-shoots around the world
Yes I’m excited to do a few more out of the country photo-shoots this year and I’m hoping lots more come my way. I don’t charge for wedding travel so this is a real possibility.
Now engagements is a different story.
Because the location and the time of the year was so enticing I was willing to schedule in this trip to do the engagements at no extra cost but that of covering my expenses. Part of that was because it was later notice and I didn’t have anything scheduled between two Saturday weddings anyway. It was a lot of traveling to get here and it was a long photo-shoot that would make the most in shape person pretty tired but it was very very fulfilling and fun.

30 Minutes in the Library

I don’t charge by the hour with my photoshoots.
They can go as long or as short as they want… which is nice because everyone takes a different length of time to get into the shoot and everyone fades at different times than others.

Ashley played it smart and said that since her fiance is no fan of pictures that she would use her good will on the wedding day in a couple months in Texas.

So we only shot for 30 minutes in pretty much one location of the library and we were done.

But hey we got a bit done didn’t we?

2012 Wedding Pricing (Introducing… No Travel Costs)

Posted by ScottJarvie at 23 January 2012

Category: (a) Favorite Posts, (d) News, (d) Wedding Day Photography

Tags: (d) Wedding Day Photography, destination weddings, high end photographer, high end wedding photography, lds weddings, travel wedding photographer, travel weddings, utah wedding photography

014_J7S1743

002_7S48744

My big news for 2012
I no longer charge travel costs for a wedding.

One Price: Yep just one price for anywhere in the world.

Because most of my weddings have me traveling far from my home state (Utah) I’ve decided to have one price, it avoids complication, encourages travel to exciting places and makes me unique.

Why? To me it’s not about costs incurred traveling, it’s more it’s me being indisposed for other weddings traveling 2 days… and therefore the price is included.
Because traveling during 2 days is how it always is… ergo the cost will be the same, because everywhere out of Utah has me traveling during 2 extra days.

Besides… I love traveling … and like I said it sets me apart.

I’m proud of the following points: (About Me)

The one word that describes my photography: Personality
I don’t charge by hour – I’m ALL day… to the very end
I edit every picture I give to the client. (This is a big deal)
You get a ton of pictures. I can’t remember the last wedding where they got less than 500 pictures. (Sometimes I do lots more… it depends on what they have organized)
I’ve been doing weddings since 2005 so I’m experienced but still excited about weddings.
I have an editing style all to myself I describe it as: bright and full of colors.
I teach photography and have had over 20 interns in the past few years.
Things I am most well known for teaching: Workflow, Editing, Off Camera Flash, Interacting with clients, Lightroom and SmugMug
I can handle very difficult lighting situations.
I always succeed. Therefore there’s a lot of trust/confidence in what I do. My clients know they’re for sure going to get awesome pictures.
Fun: People get along with me… and not just the wedding couple, everyone. I’m laid back and I don’t get stressed on the job.
You will end up with the usage rights (and files) to the pictures. (This is also a big thing)
And of course: No travel costs
I am conversational in 5 languages (English, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese… in that order) I’ve studied many others.

DISCOUNT OPTIONS

Utah: I’m discounting the cost for Utah because I have two extra days where i’m not traveling and can do 2 times more weddings in Utah.
Students/Military: It’s something unique I’ve done ever since I’ve started and the tradition will continue.
Ol’ Friends: Again something I’ve done ever since the beginning.
Trade/Barter: I’ve been known for my belief that a fair exchange doesn’t have to be 100% federal reserve notes (dollars) and therefore I’m willing to talk about options for trade.

On a budget? Hard to say what this means. Budgets range dramatically … I’ve dealt with all ranges.
It doesn’t hurt to email or call.
If you feel your budget might be a bit low… just be honest and let me know what that budget is. I’ve helped people out that had their heart set on my photography and I’ve also helped connect people to other amazing photographers.

012_J7S9753

WEDDING PACKAGES

1. Formals (wedding pictures of just the couple on a separate flexible date)
2. Wedding
3. Wedding with Journalistic Book (120pgs)
4. Wedding with Leatherbound Fancy Album (40pgs)

Pricing will vary greatly, so personally, I say you should simply contact me.
Range: Formals start in the $1500 range. On the higher end for example a wedding (anywhere) with 3 Press-printed journalistic 120pg books is about $8400
So you might be somewhere in between that range.

Additional things to consider (All are heavily discounted with wedding purchase)

Pre-wedding photoshoots (Engagements, Bridals, Formals)
Second day options
Parent copies of the books/albums
Prints
Additional Photographer (Not common for me, but I have lots of connections if the wedding calls for it)

The Bride and her Dress

Way excited to be sharing this set of pictures.
It was the perfect storm of awesomeness that all came together for an awesome shoot.

0001_7362417 0023_7362421

We took pictures for a couple hours then took a 30-40 minute break to wait for the moment when we knew that the christmas lights would come on. We were not disapointed.
I knew they were great when I was taking them and I knew she was cold and we had plenty of pictures so this flurry of pictures at the end only lasted a few minutes while the lights were on and then we were done.

Some long exposure shots just to play around (above)
And my take on the classic window shots (below)

Funny Story. It was so windy she actually lost the veil and it flew high into a tree… it took us 5-10 minutes to get it down. We pinned it in later.

0007_7361804

0010_7361629 0011_7361650

Our locations outside were determined by where the wind was less and where the ground was cleaner

Lighting determines posing sometimes.

The dress was a star and I treated it with photographic respect

I am MORE than happy to work with dresses from this dedicated and unique designer so look her up: http://melissablackburn.net/ or http://melissablackburn.blogspot.com/

Highlights of a themed Engagement Shoot

Posted by ScottJarvie at 11 November 2011

Tags: 50s theme, engagements, salt lake, Utah, utah photographer, Wedding Pictures

0001_7361893

This is a rundown of the highlights of the shoot

The hope of this post is that you get an idea for the flow of a photoshoot like this engagement shoot…

This was last night in SLC

All three locations we all of us not been too… in fact they were just recommended to the bride by friends and the old truck was on an ad listing.

Sunset is so dang early 5:20pm and we started a bit late so we didn’t have all that much time.

SPOT 1

They wanted an old car to match their 50s theme… they had the idea of the broken down look.

We didn’t move the car to a place because the owner wasn’t even home when we started… so I had to make due with the neighborhood where it sat… and it wasn’t that easy, I assure you.
