Shot with an iPhone 3GS

We are nearly 15 days to the year 2010. Can you believe that?

It has been an amazing first half of the year! With May 2010 as our official first year anniversary, we have a lot of excitement in the air with plenty of surprises to come. And you wonder what that is? Well it’s a suprise, so you’ll have to keep stalking following our blog for more info.

Why we shoot?
I’m always asked this question by my peers: If you have a great day job, why go into photography?
Well, we will list this one out:

• passion
• joy
• love

Let me explain.

Passion - We have a strong desire to be there and capturing that unmistakable smile, laughing out loud laughs, and just being yourself.  Some photographers call this lifestyle photography. Some people call it photojournalism. We call it passion photography.

Joy - Passion ignites joy. Seeing the joy in our client’s eye when they see the final results is our main goal. You will be well taken care of and enjoy your special day and the results from the pictures for years to come.

Love - Those four little letters could mean so much. Without love, there cannot be passion or joy. We love love love (cannot stress this enough) taking photos and are not camera shy in doing so. Follow our Flickr, BestCam, Facebook . We are nuts about shooting. See the recent wedding shot for Grace & Kevin, and engagement shoots for Jennifer & Ryan, and Pauch & William.

We hope that gives the readers a little insight about us. We are pretty easy going photographers to work with and we hope to be able to talk with you over the phone or even in person regarding your special day. Heck, we will treat you for coffee just for coming out.

Oh! And that photo you saw above. We shot this with an iPhone 3Gs for the Flickr Yahoo Photo challenge and was selected as one of the finalist.

Thanks for reading!

PS. Psst. we will be giving away something really soon! Tell your friends!

Who does wish they were was more time in a day to do things? When it comes to planning a wedding, a birthday party, an event or even as simple as running errands, we all can relate to this topic.

Depending on how you look at it, there are 24 hours in a day, 1440 minutes in a day or 86400 seconds in a day. But the question remains, how do you spend out the day?

I found several ways to become productive for any occasion; and I hope that you guys would agree with the same. I’ve tailored this to weddings and engagements, but this can be expanded to other occasions as well. As you can see from a couple of engagement shoots in San Francisco and UC Berkeley, we plan for ample time in case unexpected things happen. Our clients are happier, which makes us happier, which in turn our pictures turn out happier. ^_^

• Make a list - As simple as writing down the tasks you have to do on paper makes us prioritize our tasks. For weddings: Write down all that you want to have happen in a wedding, organize them into groups and work on the task . We will be providing a rough timeline for wedding events in the very near future.
• Attendance -  Life will throw lemons at us all the time. Whether that be important people like Make Up Artists or Florist to be late during a wedding, why not ask them to come early instead? It’s definitely worth any trouble, especially on your wedding date.  This same idea is reinforced when we were elementary school: Being on time is the equivalent of sitting at your desk before the teacher starts the day.
• Do what’s more important first - That gives you more motivation in the beginning to do things right and it will carry you through the day. If you have to have pictures with the family first and that’s what you value most, definitely have your family members gather together and get the pictures done first!

These are just a few things to consider for brides to consider. Anyone else have ideas on how to trim time and stress away from the important day?

PS. -Oh!  One last tip  Brides. On your wedding day - don’t bring a watch.
