Artistic Vision and Compromise

I was writing page after page of thoughts as I tried to answer cate songbird’s question, and I realized that maybe there’s a much easier answer.

Good Old Film For The New Year

I spent the last few days working on film and polaroid packages for weddings and events.  Though I previously had some basic figures worked out, I had to hammer out all the details in order to provide second shooter pricing to Albert Cheung (I would shoot film, polaroids, and/or digital as Albert’s second shooter).  It [...]

Mike and Jem’s Wedding and Beach Shoot

I've known Mike and Jem for some time now. And I had the privilege of taking pictures at their engagement (literally at the moment when Mike proposed). So, it was with great pleasure that I photographed their wedding.

Why so much $$?

As I continue to learn and teach my fellow photographers about the photography business, it’s come to my attention that most couples getting married don’t realize where all their money goes. I think that makes total sense. I mean how would the average single person know? So why do wedding photographers charge so much? Or [...]
