Here are a few more shots from Ignacio and Louisanas wedding.  The had a beautiful ceremony at St. Joseph’s church downtown San Jose and then a reception at the Ranch Golf Club. The lighting at the end of the day was just amazing and we were able to create some awesome shots of the two of them and a few fun images of the bridal party. Here are a couple more from their day. We also finished the layout from their album recently and the album turned out so great, it really tells the story of the day well. I’ll try and post some layouts from the album soon!  You can also view their slideshow here:  The Ranch Wedding Photography Slideshow

With the launch of our latest site it got me searching through my archives to see how much the site has changed over the years. From our last site to the current there isn’t a huge change, just larger new images and a few other cool features to come soon. But from our first site there have been some big changes to the design of the site. It was fun taking a little trip down memory lane and looking through our old sites and here are a few screenshots to share with everyone:

Here is our first website

Our 2nd website came out about 4 years later

Our 3rd site spash page, the portrait gallery was our old site and wedding gallery went to our new site

Time for a little non-photography news for your Monday morning.  As most of you know I never go anywhere without my trusty iPhone.  Even though it has a few shortcomings (battery life is the main one for me) I still love the phone.  Since im always on the go for photoshoots and just running around taking care of business the iPhone is like having a portable computer in my pocket.  Tomorrow Apple is going to release some information on the newest software for the iPhone.  Who knows when the software will actually be released but as a Apple geek I am excited to see what new updates they are going to incorporate into the iPhone!

Have a great week everyone,

I wanted to do something a little different this year for our Year in review show. Normally I will put together about 100 of my fav shots from maybe 5 or 10 weddings and put together a show. This year I really wanted to include all of our brides and grooms from 2008. Every wedding we shoot is important and we always capture shots that we love so I decided to include just 3 shots from every wedding. Going through over 100,000 images was pretty tough, and choosing only 3 per wedding was even harder, but I finally narrowed it down and created a quick show.  Check it out and leave us a comment below.

2008 was another incredible year for us, we were able to document some awesome weddings with some really great people. Fasten your seatbelts, here is our 2008 review in 2 minutes 13 seconds!
