Wow, what a month August 2009 was. We photographed 2 weddings. Tessie & Blake were married in Santa Barbara, Ca in front of the Fess Parker Double Tree, right on the beach. It was a beautiful day in S.B. and the wedding went off without a hitch. Margie, Bree and I were all feeling a little sentimental that day since all of our photographic careers started a Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara. We even started our day off with lunch at my favorite mexican restaraunt, La Supa Rica! We took so many beautiful images that day for Tessie and Blake, it’s going to be tough choosign their images for the album! The following weekend we photographed Wendy & Jim’s wedding at Pepperdine University. This was extra special for Bree and myself, because we work very closely with Wendy and her boss’s on a daily basis. It’s always an honor to be chosen to photograph a couples wedding, but when we have a person connection for years beofre the wedding, it is that much more meaningful. Of course Wendy looked amazing and Jim cleaned up well! The weather was perfect and the chappel was amazing. The couple wasn’t all that into posed portraits, but we got a ton of great candids!
Bree photographed a Mitzvah the same day as Wendy and Jim’s wedding. She had a blast and of course, she got some great images for the Bat Mitzvah girl and her family! Go Bree! Bree also had an amazing Senior portrait shoot in August along with many great studio portrait sessions and a few location portraits as well. It’s so much fun to watch Bree continue to evolve as a photographer!
We also photographed a few luxury condminium buildings that were recently completed in the Southern California area. They’ll use our images for marketing purposes (brochures, website, etc.) and hopefully be able to fill up the communities quickly. As usual, we photographed numerous homes for sale this month. It’s hard to choose a favorite since they are all so nice!
My favorite session this month was a family portrait session in Malibu with the Balter family. The session started off a bit rocky because our clients weren’t all in the best of moods, but once we got them in the water a littel bit, everything changed! They had a blast and so did we! On top of it all, we got some of the most amazing family portraits we’ve ever taken. My favorite is on our splash page representing our “People” website.
Lastly, we are very proud to have our new website up and running on Monday, August 31st! We’ve been working on this website for over a month and are very proud to show it off to all our friends, family, clients and fans!
