I took these pictures July 3rd
Thought I’d post them to be seen… better late than never.
It’s a sign of all those from later in July and August to be posted some time soon.

This is an old wedding phoot back from June.
I’m working a lot of getting the August weddings edited, so I thought I’d throw in an old shoot that has already been done.
Enjoy

Here’s another photo shoot I did about a month ago and they’ve since gotten married
It was in a week or two span that every bridals i did she had the groom come along as well.
It’s a break from tradition but it seems that they specially enjoy it if they’re not big fans of getting pictures taken by themselves, or if they want pictures up at their reception.

I took these a little over a month ago… thought I’d share them.
The pictures were picked by my PA Adele.
I did this photoshoot with a lightstand. Usually I have an assistant there to hold lights.
But this made me consider the location of the of camera flash a little more carefully since I’m kinda lazy.

In the last post we showed some of the regular pictures
In this one I’ll show a series of pictures taken in a 90 second span.







And Normal

This technique involves the following:
Tell them each click they need to do a different face.
They can’t coordinate. (Because it’s funnier that way and it goes faster that way… they’re more spontaneous)
This is a good exercise to loosen them up for the rest of the photoshoot
or a good way to finish up a night on a really fun note.
These two got engaged at this park which is next to Bridal Veil falls.
Not necisarily this spot exactly, thought that would have been fun to have seen.
At the end of the night we went to vivian park.
It was already a bit late so we just did a few here.


This is probably the first time I’ve taken pictures with bridal veil falls in the picture.
There are only certain parts of the falls I really like, so it’s hard to take pictures of. But at night it becomes a lot easier because all you see is the whiteness of the water on a dark background, haha

We came back later in the day… Thus no one around.
I think i’ve seen every schedule possible for a wedding day… but I must admit this was the first time I took group pictures and then left for the luncheon and then came back for the couple pictures.
I liked it… a bit less rush.
For those that didn’t hear it last time… Sacramento LDS temple is probably one of my favorite temples to shoot at!



My philosophy on group pictures is: Let them decide, I’ll just make it look good.
I don’t want to put groups into situations they think are gonna be terribly cheesy.
But if they think of it themselves they’re probably good with it.
This way I get new ones each time and if they’re a more traditional group I’m not putting them into some elaborate set up they won’t even appreciate when a straight line is probably all they want.

Sometimes the good ol’ fashion jump is amongst the best… and this is amongst the most entertaining of them… as far as faces go.

Thought it would be nice to put the two of these together with the engagements I just posted of them
Are they technically called “Formals” since the groom was there too? I’m not sure
But since I wasn’t going to be around for the wedding (conflict of weddings) while i was there I did these.
Yes I know… It looks somewhat fake eh?
We did shoot middle of the day because I went 4-wheeling later that day.
So I was happy for the chance to get into some shade.
I do like that she had these flowers… they look real don’t they?!
They really liked these types of plants… I thought they were awesome.
I put the f stop up high to catch a bit more of the sun and of course flash to light up the foreground (them)

Back in May I was able to go to alaska to do a wedding, while there I offered to engagements for this couple.
I recently went back to Alaska to do another wedding in July
At that time I was able to do this couple’s bridals… I will post those soon.
Lots of great locations in Alaska… it was so green there and the light was awesome there in the summer. I could take pictures really late into the day.
They’re getting married first week of August unfortunetly it’s a day I already have a wedding, therefore I wont’ be going back for the 3rd time this year.
