I had a great time shooting some engagement photos with Jefra yesterday. I’m only posting a few because I have to run to another photo shoot, but these were a few that I could post.
You’re the best, around

Don’t ask me how he did it; the Zach just did it. I said ‘action’ and he jumped into position like a tiger springing from his long awaited recoiled position. Truly, Zach is the best around (see video below).

These are a couple of holga portraits I did awhile back; I thought I’d post ‘em to our holga collection. I’d really like to shoot more with the holga someday.
Some music

I love this song. I think the video is creative, perhaps borderlines on scary, but then again, it’s memorable.
Wedding Photography Styles
February 27, 2009 | Filed Under bride, daniel, photography, wedding photography | 4 Comments
There’s many different photography styles a bride can choose from, and being a photographer, you sometimes have to pick one of them to present to your potential clients. Here’s a rough breakdown of all the different types of photography that are current in today’s wedding photography culture:
1. Photojournalistic – This style focuses on telling the story through photos, usually done in black and white, with the emphasis on telling the story of the bride and groom in a way a journalist would, but through photos, weaving the storyline of the bride and groom with pictures.
2. Vintage Style – This type of style is about creating the photos in the same way that was done in earlier periods of photography. Usually black and white with textured layers and textured borders as an allusion to vintage photographs. This type of photography is very much la mode du jour.
3. Traditional Black and White – This style is similar to photojournalistic style, but the emphasis is more on the creation of the photographs as independent works of art in and of themselves, portrayed through distinct tonal ranges. This lends a certain seriousness and solemnity to the subjects.
4. Modern – this style of photography is about saturated and vibrant colors, lens flare, out of focus shots, all in a way to capture creatively the subjects and wedding in a non-traditional way: new, colorful, bright, and with different compositions and framing.
5. Traditional – this style is a familiar format for the wedding photographer – very tried and true poses, bride in the center of the frame, everything lit correctly, no unique angles, maybe some soft blur on the bridal portraits with her hand on the chin. This type of style can become a cliche, so modern wedding photographers tend to avoid it, but traditional style is still the way the formal pictures are taken of the family and groups during the wedding.
5. Artistic Wedding photography – This type of photography combines many of the different styles I’ve gone over and uses them at the artit’s discretion. The photographer can use all the styles to paint a different canvas for the bride and groom, and they can sit back and enjoy the photographs as a unique representation of their wedding.
The different types of photography styles offer the bride and groom a chance to personalize their wedding day memories. Some brides are more artistic, and some are more traditional, it’s all just a matter of taste and what the couple would like for their day.
Now for the vote, which photography style do you prefer?

This is my nephew. He’s holding up a polaroid picture his mom took with him and his grandma in the photo. That was about 7 years ago. I thought I’d put this up to document his accomplishment of 7 years of living.

I sent Jefra one of my favorite songs yesterday by Rupert Holmes:
She said I had an uncanny resemblance to Rupert Holmes. I took that as a compliment, because Rupert Holmes is one of the greatest artists of his time (well, in the category of all those that can pull off the sweater vest on stage). He also sang the pina colada song; yeah, that guy.
Is there a resemblance? You’ll have be the judge.
For extra credit, check out the guy playing the guitar in the video. If I could just be that guy for a day.
