Fun Wedding Action Shots

By, August 04, 2017

Action shots are a great addition to the romantic, stylized, and candid photos captured throughout the wedding day. We accomplish action shots by creating a sense of movement within the image. By playing off our environment, and the personalities of our wedding couple, there are tons of opportunities for fun and creative photos! Here are a few of our recent favorites :)

Just the Tip

By, July 12, 2017

A question that a lot of couples have is, “Is it standard to tip the photographer?” The simple answer is, there is no simple answer. When you’re already dipping deep into your (or your parents’) savings to pay for the big day, we understand that allotting more room in your budget for gratuities on top of that can be a lot to handle. Is a tip appreciated? Of course, we won’t fight that :) Is it expected? Absolutely not.

Here’s a general philosophy to remember while contemplating gratuity for the photography. If we prove to not only meet but exceed your expectations, then by all means show your appreciation in whatever way, shape or dollar amount feels right for you. What honestly goes so far for us is sharing with us just how happy you are. We would love to photograph the two of you and your friends and family, not just for a day, but for many years to come. That is the ultimate tip.

Commercial Photo Shoot | Yoga at Hotel Marisol

By, May 24, 2016

The Hotel Marisol is a hidden gem on the beautiful island of Coronado, California. This charming boutique property is tucked away on a quiet street, just steps away from shops, restaurants and the pristine white-sand Coronado beach. The hotel caters to locals as well as visitors, and is a nice, relaxing spot for a couples’ getaway.

Recently, the Hotel Marisol began offering Yoga to their guests in the form of small group classes, and even one-on-one instruction. The classes are fully customizable, and take place throughout the hotel property, or in the nearby park or beach. The yoga is paired with a nourishing breakfast, including a variety of blended juices.

In order to showcase all of the healthy options being offered, we were brought on to create the photography for the hotel’s print and online campaigns. While photographing, we set up external light sources to ensure crisp, clean photos. Also, to highlight the hotel’s beautiful surroundings, we made use of a variety of wide-angle and zoom lenses. It was a great shoot, and we hope you enjoy our selection of resulting photos.
