Best Year Ever
Even though January isn’t exactly the busiest month of the year for weddings, I’m still keeping busy with all kinds of projects. 2008 is shaping up to be my best year yet as I already have twice as many weddings on the books as I did last year at this time. (Whooo Hooo!) I’m looking forward to shooting in some places that I haven’t shot before, like the La Jolla Country Club and the Park Plaza in Los Angeles. Some of the familiar places are changing too, such as the new ceremony space (with waterfall!) going in at L’Auberge in Del Mar. If you’re thinking of inquiring about your date, please do. I’ll be happy to check my calendar for you asap.
I’ve been doing more and more portrait work these days and I’m enjoying it immensely. For photographers, weddings are about making very quick technical and creative decisioins in order to keep up with the pace of events. It’s one of my favorite aspects of my job: I never shoot the same event twice! Photographing portraits on location is similar in some ways, but the pace is definitely more relaxed. I’ve had the pleasure of photographing several kids and families in recent weeks and it’s inspired me to want to do more.
