Hotel Seven4One Wedding | Nikki + Jeb | Laguna Beach Wedding Photography and Authentic Super 8 Films

blogca5 — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 02:07:13 +0000

We met Nikki and Jeb through a friend of a friend via Facebook! Love it when that happens . The couple celebrated their marriage at the Hotel Seven4One in Lagun a Beach, California. Flowers and trees by Florals by Jenny. Cake by Heidelberg Pastry Shop. Bride’s dress from Jinny’s Bridal Huntington Beach. DJ was Luke Sensebe from Extreme DJ Orange County. Decor rentals from Signature Party Rentals. Memorial handkerchief made by the bride’s mother to honor Nikki’s grandmother as well as her grandmother’s broach was placed in the brides’ bouquet. Nikki and Jeb’s romantic and bridal party photographs took place on a private access beach between Aliso Beach and Wood’s Cove just south of the hotel. On a technical note, we photographed this wedding using several mediums including 645 medium format film, 35mm film, 35mm digital and Super 8 motion picture film (Wonder Years home movie style!). We scanned the still film negatives ourselves. Before you view the full resolution images, take a moment to view the slideshow which includes the Super 8 film. The music (used by permission) is by the extremely talented The Woodlands and Jake Jeanson. At the very end of the slideshow David makes a quick little cameo (the guy who looks like a photographer) during the dancing captured on Super 8:

Tamaya Resort Wedding | Elana + Brian | Albuquerque and Santa Fe Film Wedding Photography and Authentic Super 8 Wedding Films

blogca5 — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 20:29:14 +0000

Angela and I photographed Elana + Brian’s wedding at Hyatt Tamaya Resort (the very place Angela and I were married!). Tamaya lies between Albuquerque and Santa Fe in Santa Ana Pueblo. Elana and Brian chose Tamaya’s Hummingbird Garden and the tent at the Cottonwoods Pavilion for their locations at Tamaya. We simply could not have asked for a more beautiful location and couple for a fall wedding. Coordination at Tamaya by Velma. Florals by The Flower Shop at Nob Hill. Cake by Tamaya and Andie’s Specialty Sweets. The classical guitar music featured in the slideshow below was performed by Albuquerque’s very own Jim Gross of Carousel of Music (we met Jim at our wedding where he did an outstanding performance. We highly recommend him). For the slideshow of their wedding photographs (we used 645 medium format and 35mm film for the majority of their wedding) and authentic Super 8 film. If you’re interested in having us photograph your wedding, mitzvah or portrait please send us an email.

There’s nothing quite like the texture of Ilford black and white film:

Hannah and Alex | High Cliff State Park | Wisconsin Film Photography

blogca5 — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 03:06:21 +0000

I recently spent a few wonderful (and very short) days in my hometown of Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Along with getting my fill of mom’s cooking and grilling burgers (smoked with cherry wood chips) I did a few photoshoots including my niece and nephew Hannah and Alex and a photoshoot with the first person to take me flying which can be seen by clicking here. For Hannah and Alex’s photo shoot we went up to High Cliff State Park on the north side of Lake Winnebago (Oshkosh sits on the west side of the lake).

Julia + Jon | Four Seasons Biltmore Santa Barbara Wedding | Authentic Super 8mm Wedding Film

blogca5 — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 18:21:37 +0000

Julia + Jon celebrated their wedding at the Four Seasons Biltmore in Santa B arbara, California. This was their 2nd attempt at getting married as the couple was originally supposed to have a Four Seasons Hualalai wedding in Haw aii but it was during the weekend of the great Japan earthquake which sent a devastating tsunami toward Hawaii. Their tsunami shaped wedding cake made by Cake Divas was an homage to this event. Julia, the owner of Switch Boutique in Beve rly H ills fell in love with the style of authentic Super 8mm film for her wedding. Jonulia’s (as the couple likes to be called ) wedding was coordinated by the fabulous Mindy Weiss Party Consultants with Kristen and Cassie. Julia wore Vera Wang over Jimmy Choo. Bridal hair and makeup by Seama of Nine Zero One Salon. Bridesmaid dresses by Hal st on. Jewelry by XIV Karats Beverly Hills. Groom suit and shoes by Gucci. Lighting and drapings by Bella Vista. Chuppah by Happy Chuppah. Chairs by Chiavari Chairs 4 Rent. DJ was Aaron Massey. Photobooth by Shutterbooth. Special thanks to Vidicam Productions and the Best Dog Bailey. Enjoy the film:

These are still images pulled from the actual Super 8 wedding film. I’ve mentioned before how each of these images would make an amazing enlargement (just like the first black and white image of Julia posted below). Angela and I love these so much we’re officially adding these unique Super 8mm tapestries as an option. How amazing would this look hanging on the wall as a fine art print or canvas?

Tahitian & Hula Dancers in the New Mexico Desert | Albuquerque & Santa Fe Film Photography

blogca5 — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 03:19:11 +0000

How’s this for juxtaposition?! Angela and I were recently in Albuquerque and Santa Fe for some fun wedding industry meetings so while there we did a photoshoot with a group of Hula & Tahitian dancers led by Angela’s mother Patsy (who was born in Hawaii). My first thought from a production standpoint was: ”huh we’re in the high desert and we’re photographing Hawaiian dancers…..let’s emphasize that difference and photograph them right in the middle of the desert!” After scouting around a bit we found the perfect location. I wanted something that emphasized the natural beauty of the New Mexico high desert that provided depth and layers without being over intrusive.

Los Poblanos | Los Ranchos de Albuquerque, New Mexico Film Photography

blogca5 — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 04:22:40 +0000

Angela and I had a wonderful trip today to the Los Poblanos Historic Inn and Cultural Center in the Los Ranchos neighborhood of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Tomorrow we’re heading to a wedding industry lunch put on by PWGNM in Santa Fe. Here’s a quick photograph taken on the border of Arizona and New Mexico during our road trip. This rainbow, like all moments, was quickly fleeting. I was able to pull over on the highway with just enough time to capture three photographs before the sun disappeared behind rain clouds.

Monica and Shannon Brown | Vibiana Wedding

blogca5 — Sun, 17 Jul 2011 16:31:06 +0000

Check out this video! I make several cameo appearances while photographing Monica and Shannon Brown’s wedding at the Vibiana in Downtown Los Angeles. You can see me at :08 seconds “Where’s Waldo” style walking in the lower left and again at 1:27 and 1:36 (upper right corner taking pictures of the couple). You can also follow this link to see the video on The Insider. I was the 2nd photographer for Monica and Shannon’s wedding for a big studio in Los Angeles. Gotta have a few more years under my belt before I’m the primary on a celebrity wedding. It was an absolute honor to be asked to be a part of this amazing wedding.
