Magazine Style Albums

Magazine style albums can be such a unique way to tell the story of your wedding day.  Our magazine style albums are designed from scratch without using templates so your day will be displayed in a unique layout that really reflects the style and vision of your wedding day.  We love creating these albums, they are a great way to tell the story of your day and create a heirloom piece of art for your family to cherish.  Our albums all have lifetime guarantees and are created to be something for your future generations to view and see what your day was really all about.

This was a beautiful wedding at Casa Real a Mediterranean oasis in the heart of Livermore wine country.   Here is a little info about Casa Real;  The Grand Salon is the perfect setting for receptions with its classical limestone arches, glowing chandeliers, and expansive windows.  Beautifully carved niches accentuate every room and allow brides to customize with flowers and candles.  A verdant walled courtyard with fragrant citrus trees and graceful water features is an ideal setting for cocktails and appetizers under the evening sky or an elegant outdoor ceremony.

New canvas prints coming soon

We are excited to offer some cool new canvas options that we will be releasing very soon. These are going to be a set of canvas prints that will be displayed together to create an amazing art piece on your wall. Before we do a big release (along with some great savings) we are going to refresh one of our walls on the studio to showcase one of these canvas sets. But I need your help. I can never choose a favorite print for a wall sample since I love so many photos, so want to leave it up to everyone to vote.

We are going to do a sample of our 34×22 canvas wall. This canvas set will come with 3 13×10’s
and 1 20×32 canvas wraps and have a 1″ border in between each canvas.

I have 5 recent weddings that have some images that would work great, but need your help in choosing the one that makes our sample. Vote below by adding a comment on what your favorite series is.

Vote for your favorite setup by adding a comment below:

Lifestyle Family Photography

We have been able to capture some great memories for families this summer and are starting to do more and more lifestyle family photos than ever before. After having our first child last year it really made me realize how important good photography can be for a family. Families change so much year after year and capturing those memories can be priceless. I have hundreds of photos of our baby already (and it hasn’t even been a full year yet) and looking back at the photos over the months she has changed so much, you don’t really realize it when your living your life. Check out our website to see our portfolio of recent lifestyle family photo shoots.

We are going to have some more specials coming soon for fall family portrait and Christmas cards so keep your eye out on the blog (and facebook). We will always post any specials on the blog and facebook first so our best clients get first dibs on everything.

Next week we will be posting a bunch of recent family shoots but in the meantime here is a shot I just printed for our entryway that I just love of my precious little Faith. It was only taken less than 2 months ago but she has already changed so much.
