Each primary photographer will have different ideas on what are the responsibilities of the second shooter, and what the second shooter shouldn’t and should be shooting. This blog post reflects only my personal opinion and experience. It doesn’t represent the standards for all second shooters. If you’re unsure about something it is always best to […]
I had an opportunity to document a wedding with a fellow photographer at Bel Vino Winery in Temecula. The bride and groom were both great people and their groomsmen were a riot, in a good way. Shooting this wedding was very fun, although, I shot mostly candid style and had the opportunity to try out […]
The 35mm f1.8 lens was designed for DX cameras (cropped sensor for non-Nikon users). At around $200, it is a sweet lens especially if you don’t mind a bit of vignetting on full frame DSLR’s. Here’s a quick sample of my new 35mm f1.8 DX lens on my Nikon D800. The D800 is notorious for […]
Big Bear is a beautiful place filled with activities for all seasons. Although I’m very close to the area, I don’t get to photograph weddings in Big Bear that often. My only opportunity was to do a post wedding picture for a friend of mine. Hopefully, this will change for 2013. Here’s a pic from […]
I found a couple of quiet hours last week to update the layout of this site. It has been something on my to do list for a while and finally I got it done. A few things are still missing but I’ll eventually fix it. Here’s to a new layout for the new year and […]
Some people asked me what photography style do I shoot, and to be honest I don’t know. Coming from a drawing and painting background, I love unique lighting and see photography as an opportunity to create beautiful art pieces that I myself can hang on my wall. I combine light, shadows, and focus to create […]
I was entrusted by a lovely couple, Carly and Jeff, to photograph their beautiful Old West wedding. As the main photographer for this Calico Ghost Town wedding, I was tested through the cold, wind, sand, and the ever last minute changes of a fast pace wedding. However, everyone had a great time and it was […]
Here’s a great article regarding things that you don’t want for free at your wedding, http://www.huffingtonpost.com/sharon-naylor/wedding-freebies-you-dont_b_2219065.html . There’s a good reason why photography is on top of that list. Most brides will spend a fortune on her dress, venue, and flowers just to have boring snap shots of the wedding to show, and often bad enough […]
I’ve been wanting a Nikon 105mm f2.8 VR macro lens for awhile now and decided to get one, and I’m not disappointed at all. The lens is sharp, even sharper than my favorite 70-200mm f2.8 VR2, and it is a perfect companion for my D800. The Vibration Reduction feature is nice especially at this focal […]
I found this amazing location right by my house, that I happen to drive by one day looking for something else. It’s a perfect place for a romantic story telling shoot, at least I hope so. 🙂
