Kevin and Felomena's Wedding!

Pink Gerbera Events!

I recently had the pleasure to work with Nancy and Annie of Pink Gerbera Events. They were great to work with and I recommend you check them out. You can see a sample album that I created for them here!

Charles and Melissa's Album!

You can see Charles & Melissa's album from the wedding in Tucson last July. It is a little more traditional in the photograph choices than normal for me, but Melissa loved the group portraits! This is a 12x12 Queensberry album with Classic Sand leather with a cover inset, Ivory mats and Chocolate inner mat around the images.

New Album!

Jason and Marque's album is now availabe to veiw here. This is a 10x10 Art Book with 30 sides. 

Digital Images and Accidents!

A couple days ago I was meeting with a potential wedding client. She was telling me about how she had accidentally deleted a couple images she had needed. Anyway, this is a long way of saying the following is what you do if you screw up with digital! This is what I recommend for everyone using a digital camera to keep your photographs from being lost:

1. Never delete images in the camera. It is just too easy to delete something that you wanted, or accidentally hit delete all instead of deleting just one image.
2. Download the entire card onto your computer.
3. Backup your images immediately everytime you download.
4. THEN, go through them and delete the photographs you don't want.
5. Using this method if you accidentally delete one or all of them, they are in your wastebasket on your computer, or, if worst comes to worst, you can go to your backup.
6. Once this is done, format your card. Formatting your card rather than deleting all the images gets rid of the clutter on the card and allows it to perform better.

If you do accidentally delete something on the card, format your card, or have something catastrophic happen with the camera (the camera starts freaking out), stop taking photos! The photographs may still be recoverable as long as you don't keep taking photographs. When you delete a photograph or format your card, the images are still there! They will continue to be on your card until you take more photographs and the data in that sector is written over. This is just like your computer hard drive. Okay, now you've come back to your computer with your card that you believe you've lost images. What do you do now? Try PhotoRescue. It is a software program that can recover that information that you tried to delete! I hope this helps someone. Let me know if there is a question you want answered!

Sample album for the Renaissance Madison in Seattle

You can see the album here. It is the same wedding as the parent albums in the previous post. Lots of albums from Jessica & Ace's wedding! It's my goal to make one of these for at least half the weddings I photograph this year. I want to use this as a major form of advertising!

Two new parent albums

Two new parent albums are available to view here and here!

Paul & Irina's Wedding!

Paul and Irina were married on Tuesday, April 11. It was my first Tuesday wedding and one of the smallest weddings I have ever photographed. It was beautiful and fun! 

Dustin & Jennifer Wedding

Congratulations to Dustin and Jennifer. They renewed their vows (Vegas wedding) and had a reception for their family and friends on April 8th! 

A couple of random photographs!

Child Labor Laws?

My son was thrilled to help smooth the concrete for the neighbor's driveway. Here he is in action!

Will and Emily's Album!

Will and Emily's album is available to view. This is a 12x12 Queensberry matted album with a 1/4 bind of a metallic photograph and 3/4 bind of cappuccino Leather. Inside the mats are Navy blue with white mounting around the photographs, as befits Lieutenant Bride and Lieutenant Groom. It also has two flip pages. The first page splits in half and opens up and the page showing the Seattle Art Museum flips open to show the details inside the reception.
