"The Knot Best of Weddings 2008/2009 Pick"

I wanted to take a moment to thank all of my wonderful brides who took the time to comment to The Knot on my wedding photography & client service level. It's important for me to distinguish myself from tens of thousands of other photographers. My Brides overall experience is the most important to me. If you have a chance to pick up a copy of The Knot Best of Weddings 2009 magazine, please do. It covers all different wedding vendors you might be looking for. Thanks again!!!

Kat & David's Ultra Cool Wedding

If you ever thought of a "themed" wedding, this would be the template. It was a "Carnival" atmosphere with Alice in Wonderland as the main theme, with David as Secret Agent 007, and then a segway to Star Trek, and back to Alice in Wonderland (Yes, it all came off without a hitch!). The prestigious Chateau Carmel (Ellingsen Estates) was the backdrop, along with many fine views of the Monterey Bay. My wedding photographic services were a pleasure to provide! Congratulations Katrina & David!!!

So Whats Up!

Ok, I am not the best "Blogger" out there. My business growth has had me evaluate the work flow, and make changes to improve the "efficiency" of my current business model. This will allow me more time to catch up as well as post timely updates on my blog (lets hope!!!).

A new website creation of mine will be on-line soon. It has an "ultra cool" look & a new, and fresh concept. In fact, it will be a totally different business model. Ultra cool images, with a new twist. I have been listening to what people are really looking for, and my hopes are that we will able to deliver this new concept very soon. Oh by the way, it will have a new name and logo, too. It will be very. very cool!!!

April 21, 2007 - This was a first for me ... a "punk - felini" wedding, a "scary" movie courtesy Joe Lynch, and a wonderful Officiant, Henry Rollins. Del Mar Theater, Santa Cruz ... ROCKS! Check out the cool slideshow at http://www.thephotoman.com/lynch/

This was a "BIG" surprise!

Jodie & Mike's Day - July 3, 2006

This was a magical day with Jodie and Mike, their family & friends. The ambiance and flow was greatly enhanced by the floral design & direction of Melinda Reed of Perfect Petals.

Yes ... we have a blog, too!!!

This is our first post, and I am pleased to be able to offer my current clients, and future clients, some of my daily musings, images, & thoughts. I may even cover some of the questions that folks ask me from time to time. Even some technical stuff!  Stay tuned, Craig.
