Bobbi and Bryan were married this last Saturday in the always gorgeous Westminster Presbyterian Church in Sacramento. Following the wedding we all wisked off to the Library Galleria for an amazing reception. Bobbi and Bryan are such planners and no detail escaped their eye! We had so much fun with them and their wonderful families. We really feel like we got to know you even better by watching your photo montage.
Here is their
SNEAK PEEK!
Now to get back to editing our other wonderful bride and grooms!

I so enjoy your blogs this time of year..looking forward to the slide show!
(And I chimed in on the TP debate below)
@broncomom - it will be a while for this one since we have 2 slideshows we are working on in the wings before we get this one up…be looking for Tim and Kelly and Heather and Ryan.
But I so loved this shot…I spied this as I was heading up to the balcony for those shots and hoped we would have time to get it and we did! I cant wait till they start rolling out as well. Our first one rolled out already and closing in on #2.
Awesome..I get to see you soon!! woo hoo..will call you this week..Love, Charlotte
Gosh that’s a beautiful image.
I do find myself having to do a lingo switch whenever i come over to the states. Like calling my jumper a sweater or saying “two weeks” instead of “a fortnight” Cell phone instead of mobile phone. 200 years from now i’m wondering just how much our languages will be different or wether with constant updates in communication that words and lingo will just end up becoming part of all our common language.
@chrisfawkes - “200 years from now” now that would be interesting to know! Language is such an interesting topic.
I just love this image…I try to get at least one of these kinds of shots whether it is with just the bride or the bride and groom alone. But in the timetable of the day sometimes you just have to walk on by those visions you have. One day I think I will write a little ditty on the importance of allowing some latitude if your photographer has a vision for a shot. Its hard because you know they under such stress to keep to the timeline or gotta get back to the reception because our friends want to party…thank God we have had such great couples that are up for it!:goodjob:
You guys have a bit different wedding day experience over in Australia, dont you?

We get about three hours, sometimes more to spend with the bridal party. So coffee shops or various locations are always on the agenda.
Though i have always scheduled the day that way for weddings i’ve shot in the U.S
At first i didn’t realize and so just created my schedule as i normally would and about the third wedding in i realized what the guest meant when we arrived for the reception and they were saying it was quite an untraditional wedding.
Why not try it with couples and see if they go for it. Just tell them it’s the new thing going. I figure if we can sell trash the dress sessions there would also be a market who would jump at getting extra shots on the day.
Back in the nineties night shots after the reception became a bit of a thing. So after a full day shooting we would still be going to 3-4am, thank god those days are over. (my longest wedding 22 hours shooting)
i think i read that Jim Garner offers extra time to clients in rangefinder.
sweet and beautiful~:)

Well, put it this way…during wedding season I’m tempted to put my picture on the side of a milk carton…I’m ALWAYS camped out at the computer.
Actually Photoshop is just the tip of the iceberg. The who editing process starts with Lightroom which is where most of the time is spent. Since we shoot with several people and there are multiple cameras I always have a LOT of images to sort through to get the final images. Then before all the images are shown to the client we need to assemble the slideshow which is usually at least a day to get that laid out, edit and import the music tracks, output to the final show and upload to the web for everyone to see. The entire editing process front to end usually runs at least 60-80 hours per wedding, so trying to put those hours in while still shooting weddings and keeping up with the other demands of the bis are more than a full time job. But I love it!
great composition…great lighting…great capture! WOW!
