Welcome to the Stagi Imagery blog! My name is Mark Stagi and I am the owner and one of the photographers for Stagi Imagery. I started this business over 10 years ago to create fresh and creative wedding and portrait photography. Over the past 10 years our business has grown to now include a few other photographers and many wonderful clients that we serve. We have been creating award winning images in the Bay Area and beyond and are available to travel worldwide. It has been a huge blessing for me to be a part of such wonderful events in my clients lives and I will share some of the fun moments through my blog.
We will share many photos of events and other fun stuff that we are up to in the studio. I will also share a little about myself so you can get a little peek into the always unpredictable life of a wedding photographer and business owner. Our blog is updated often so check back later!

Such a beautiful wedding at the Kohl mansion. This is really an awesome place to shoot at, there is inspiration everywhere and their wedding was beautiful. We will have a highlight slideshow coming soon so check back in about a day for a little peek into their wedding day.
To my Dad and all the Dad’s out there I want to wish you all the best on this Fathers day. Dad’s play such an important role in their kids lives and in a family, they help to shape the future generations and I just want to say thanks to all the amazing Dads out there. Special thanks to my Dad for always being a part of my life. My Dad was the booster club president for my High School my last 2 years of school (and I think even another 4 years after that), he coached all my tee ball and baseball teams, I think even coached a few other spots I was in when I was younger. He was always interested in everything that I did and wanted to coach or somehow be a part of what I was doing. I have the best memories of him taking my sister and me to the boardwalk to play games during the summer, we would play skeeball and other games and save our tickets all summer to try and get something cool, which normally was just some little stuffed animal that we would play with for a few days and then throw it in the closet. When we were little my dad may not have expressed his love that much verbally but he really didn’t have to. We knew we were loved and taken care of by him. He has always been a good provider and a great dad.
As it says in Psalms (20:7) – “The righteous who walks in his integrity– blessed are his children after him!” We have to lead our kids by example, it is so important to set the tone for your kids and family. I know I am far from perfect but hope and pray that I can learn from my mistakes and be guided to live a life of Integrity. And I wish the same for all of the Dad’s out there, that you will have the Wisdom the lead a life of integrity and set the example for not only your children but others as well.
I hope all of the Dad’s out there have a great day today.
Here is a quick highlight of Amy and chads wedding in los Gatos. A beautiul day, congrats again!
I am so stoked to have my 3rd iPad app in the app store! I started writing a few mini books awhile back to help educate photographers wanting to start shooting weddings or portraits. There are so many questions I get from people that normally are the same questions people have when getting into photography. I also see so many people starting out that lack a certain creative element in their photography. Normally some of the more advanced things like Lighting are missed by most people starting out. So over the past year I have been working on putting down on paper some of the many things in my head that I can share from my 11 years of shooting professionally and years of Art school before that.

I wanted to create some guides that were really easy to learn, easy to understand and covered the technical parts of photography but in a not so technical way. As a photographer I am visual, after college I would still keep up with my photo education and read books, attended seminars and workshops and usually was pretty uninspired by the way the information was presented. Normally it was so technical that it lost my attention after a few minutes and I put the book on the shelf never to be picked up again. So I set out to create some tools for people to learn and be inspired and also wanted to create them at a very good price, really a no brainer. When the iPad was released I was excited, it really is a perfect medium to learn on . You have a nice large screen as well as something that feels great in your hand like a book but can be so interactive. So far I have created a Portrait 101 and a Wedding Photography 101 guide that right now are only $1.99! I wanted to create some very useful guides to help people get more creative with their photography and also have them be so inexpensive anyone can buy them. These also are available as iPhone (or iPod touch) version and for those of you who don’t have an iPhone or iPad going to be available as eBooks coming out in the next few months.
Congrats Chad and Amy who were married at the United Methodist Church in Los Gatos followed by a reception at the Hotel Los Gatos. If you have never been to the Hotel Los Gatos its a beautiful location with an amazing restaurant (Dio Deka). The lamb there is incredible, you have to go and check it out. Photos to come soon!
Wow. GREAT WORK! I just stumbled onto your blog today and am so happy that I did! Your work is so inspiring, so much creativity! Good job and keep it up!
