Matt and Alex Engagement Photos | Denver Wedding Photographer

Looking for Denver Wedding Photographer?

Few months ago I have photographed Matt and Alex engagement photos in Hidden Falls Regional Park in Auburn California. Now I have meet Matt and Alex at the bridal show in the beginning of 2014 and they have won the free engagement session. After some time in planning when to do the engagement session (which does make a difference) and postponing it due to bad weather we finally meet again at Hidden Falls Regional Park. I do want to mention one thing before I get into the photos from their engagement is that planning engagement session does need to be taken into the account. From my experience, if planning an engagement session way to early or late in the year (meaning very late fall, winter, early spring) the scenery does matter. The trees might look naked and the feels might not have green grass yet. For California this means best time to do engagement session is sometime mid-spring or mid-fall when the colors are turning yellow, red, and orange. Also the weather is not hot as well which makes the couple not sweat as much as when its close to 100 degrees outside. Yet with all that said if the photographing in Bay Area this can change as well as if the couple want photos in more urban setting. This is why you should talk to your photographer and plan it out instead of just saying “lets do our engagement session next week”.

But coming back to Matt and Alex photos, we started of just the basic to get them loose. As for me I know when people are a bit shy of camera maybe especially when they know that this is more than just iPhone pictures. So I didn’t ask them to post or do something crazy, by the end of the session they loosened up and this does show in the photos. Best way to do loosen up is ask questions and have a conversation. A lot of photographer do forget to do this and then the photos show that because the client is either bored after 20 mins or still nervous because they are not getting clear directions from the photographer. One way to avoid this is to know your photographer and meet with him or her prior to the photo shoot.

Matt and Alex are a great couple and were fun for me to photograph because not only did they have fun as well, but because you can see the love for eachother. They are love birds that can’t wait to get married and spend the rest of their lives together. During the photo session we joked and talked and I tried to captured the emotions they have for eachother. I love the photos that were captured for them and they loved it as well when we meet for post engagement session and saw the photos for the first time.

Victor and Nastya Engagement Photos | Sacramento Wedding Photographer

Sacramento Wedding Photographer

In the beginning of June I had an opportunity to photograph very cute couple in Sausalito in Bay Area. Even though we were going for the San Francisco backdrop but sometimes the weather does not play nice and there was huge fog that rolled in. So there was no San Francisco view but with the Bay Area fog its very unpredictable, yet it didn’t stop us from having fun and creating beautiful images that capture the love and connection between Victor and Nastya.

I have meet Nastya from some time ago but didn’t expect that she was engaged to Victor whom I knew long time a go. We have reconnected at a wedding in Bay Area and had small but good chat and thats when they proposed I would photograph their engagement session. After few emails back and forth we have settle on the location of Sausalito which is a great small town not far from San Francisco. Sausalito is great place for engagement photos, not only because its very tourist location but because there are lots of great places to be photographed. Victor and Nastya decided to have more of an evening photos because they have seen other photos that I have from engagement session at dusk/night photography.

Sacramento Wedding Photographer

We had a great time, of walking around, catching up on how things are now (since last time I have seen Victor was more than 9 year ago) in Sausalito and photographing them. They are a great couple and I love the love and passion they have for each other. That is the most important thing in engagement session because if the couple is just there just because it becomes a regular portrait session but this time the love was in the air. Victor and Nastya love each other very deeply and had fun being photographed and not being shy of showing it in the photos.

I think this is my most favorite images because it just shows how much they love each other.

Victor and Nastya I just want to thank you for hiring me as your engagement photographer and hope your love will only grow even stronger throughout the years.

Haley and Chris Engagement Photos | Sacramento Wedding Photography

Some time ago I was photographing engagement session of Haley and Chris in Redwood Regional Park not far from San Francisco. Even though I am based here in Sacramento and have lots of wedding photography here I still love to travel especially to Bay Area. There is something about Bay Area that always interests me, maybe its the sea in the air, or the variety of where to photograph in Bay Area, or even maybe its just the area and being close to San Francisco.

Sacramento Wedding Photographer

But this is not about me and why I love the Bay Area, this is about Haley and Chris and their engagement session. I have meet them at the bridal show and they loved my photography that they booked me on the spot. Haley and Chris are a great couple, I loved photographing their engagement session because they were willing to go Bay Area for their engagement session, as well as they did wanted more of forest look then just urban. We stayed for the first part of the session in the woods then migrated to open field not far from the woods. But the love and the passion they have for each other is fantastic. When a couple loves each other very deeply it shows in the photos.  As you will see in the images below. We had great time of walking around the woods, finding location for their photos and in the mean time had good laughs (this way they were loose and not so tense for the photos).

Vitaliy and Vika Wedding Photos | Sacramento Wedding Photographer

Sacramento Wedding Photographer

In the past month I had a pleasure of photography a very beautiful wedding of Vitaliy and Vika which I was looking for. It was romantic, from the first look that they did to the end of the wedding. I really loved to see the great connection between Vitaliy and Vika, I don’t even think words like great connection does justice to it because seeing those two love birds seeing each other for the first time at the first look was magical. The expression on Vitaliy’s face when for the first time he saw Vika in her wedding dress almost made him speechless, and filled with joy. But isn’t that the whole point of the first look? =)

For the fun part, it was great photographing Vitaliy prep photos because him and his groomsmen were  just very layback to a point where they decided to mow the backyard just for the fun of the photos, and by the way they were wearing very fashionable clothes from Express which made it even more fun for photographs. Even though Vika didn’t mow the lawn she was still beautiful and also very layback and I just loved the photos which I have captured for her during girls prep time.

But throughout the creative photos which was planned ahead they went to Old Sacramento for carriage ride, and then to the State Capitol Park for final creatives. Though out all day they were great, the love between them was just shining with glow for each other, so photographing them was not only fun for them but for me as well.

After the wedding we decided to have more photos done at K Street in downtown Sacramento. It was was good time for photos because this would give them a different look from creatives comparing to day time photos. I loved how they would still be willing to pose and smile in the photos even though they had a long day at the wedding, so I appreciate them for giving me the time to do something different for them and the photos show it as well.

Something that I do want to mention is what they asked me to do after they came back from their honeymoon. A week later the called me and ask me if I was willing to go to San Francisco to capture some photos of them in their wedding clothes at a beach.  Hands down I said YES! I loved it every minute of it and even though Vika got her dress dirty in sand, ocean water, and by the way Vitaliy also was on board of getting wet for fun and creative photos.

Business Headshots | Sacramento Portrait Photographer

sacramento portrait photographer

What is a headshot? In the nutshell, it is where the face is clearly shown. But it doesn’t mean that image must be of the face only. Because even though the face will be most important aspect of the photo, everything around the face is equally important. For example if photographing a business headshot it is very vital to have proper clothes, hair and makeup done (which goes for both man and woman). Wearing the wrong clothing can take away the attention from the face and the subject will be lost in the photo. If the hair is not done properly on the subject, it can look like they don’t care about the photos. In business world all of this can make or break the deal for someone. So why it is important, well a good headshot for a business person is how prospective clients will identify you and can make a decision without the meeting, if they would like to work with that subject or not. Having a clear representation through a headshot  will speak volumes about the subject and his/her business.

sacramento portrait photographer

Recently I have been photographing lots of headshot from real estate, to politicians, and medical doctors. And its very interesting to see how based on what they do can change from something like clothing to different hairstyle styles and of photos they require. So if you are of a need for business headshot, first look around what other successful people did in your area for their photos, then talk to your photographer if they can capture the same feel or style of photography for you.
