Beryl and Jeremy | Long Beach Aquarium Wedding

It’s a tough job…spending a gorgeous day by the sea in Long Beach, cruising the Boardwalk in Shoreline Village and then making your way to the world famous Long Beach Aquarium for a rocking wedding party! Yeah, okay, it wasn’t that tough. It was just perfect! With details to kill for and florals so out of this world (yay Fleuretica!), I imagine this was the wedding of their dreams.

Florist:  Fleuretica
Makeup and Hair:  OnLocationBeauty and Joyce Luck
Cake:  King’s Hawaiian Bakery

Wednesday January 27 – help Haiti – online photography mentoring

Wednesday Jan. 27 – help Haiti – online photography mentoring

The Mentor Marathon 4 Haiti will be held on WEDNESDAY JAN. 27 to raise money for charitable organizations that provide relief for Haiti earthquake victims.

Photographers: Please donate $100 to receive unlimited access to a day-long online mentor session by the industry’s top photographers.
Mentors will be conducting portfolio reviews, image critiques, answering questions, etc. Of course, the amount of 1-on-1 interaction depends on the number of photographers participating.

Participants will be given a password for access to the session. Your password will allow you in-out access throughout the day so you can come and go at any time.

Donate directly to your charity of choice. Email your receipt to huy@fworkshop.com with the subject line : HAITI and he will send you the password for access.
(IT’S A COMMON PASSWORD. DO NOT GIVE THE PASSWORD OUT TO ANYONE ELSE.)

Here’s the link to the facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=442716900606&ref=mf

Mentoring schedule for Wednesday (all times Central USA)

8 am – 10 am : Sergio + Critsey Rowe
10 am – NOON : DQ Studios
NOON – 2 pm : David Murray
2 pm – 4 pm : Tyler Wirken
4 pm – 6pm : Ben Chrisman + Anna Kuperberg
6 pm – 8 pm : JVS
8 pm – 10 pm : Brooks Whittington + Cat Benner (that’s ME!)

Here’s how it will work:

At 7:30 am Central time on Wednesday, HUY will login to www.dimdim.com and obtain a room name and the password. You can log in anytime after that. PLEASE SIGN IN WITH YOUR REAL FULL NAME or we will log you off.

DO NOT GIVE OUT THE PASSWORD TO ANYONE AT THE RISK OF RECEIVING BAD KARMA FOR THE WEEK!

Mentors will be miked up so everyone can hear them. They will make a brief introduction of themselves. After that, it’s up to the mentors to guide the session. They may want to answer your questions or present a topic of their choosing. It’s a completely open format.

Participants (you) will be able to participate using the chat box. We have 3 mics available so we can pass the mic control around if you want to talk. Everyone can hear everything and but only the 3 mics can talk.

If you’d like a brief critique of a few images or for the mentors to look at something, please have those images online and have the links ready. Let’s try to make the process as easy and smooth as possible.

If you run into technical problems during the day, you can email huy@fworkshop.com

The room capacity is 50 people but I don’t think we will need more than that at anyone one time.

If you’d like to thank the mentors personally, please feel free to make them feel appreciated for donating their time and expertise.

The people of Haiti thank you! FOR MORE INFO GO TO: http://fwforum.com/huynow/?p=218

Kim and Dan | Surf and Sand Wedding Photography | Laguna Beach Wedding Photographer

When Dan inquired last year looking for a wedding photographer, he was based in New York City and Kim was based in El Paso, Texas! Their “destination wedding” in beautiful Laguna Beach was going to be a blast!!
These two are the sweetest, kindest folks you’ll ever meet and we loved being a part of their wedding. It happened to be one of those really, really foggy days, which I think made for the coolest beach romantics!!

Lots of love to you both.

Erin and Adam – Santa Monica Engagement Session

Adi spent the afternoon with Erin and Adam shooting their engagement session at the beach. So much fun!!
The couple got engaged at the Los Angeles Marathon, I love that.

Can’t wait for their wedding next month at the Delphina in Santa Monica.












Johanna and Ken | Los Angeles Wedding Photographer

Dana LaRue, founder of incredible blogsite, The Broke-Ass Bride, invited Adi and I to partake in an amazing online wedding contest last year. The winners, Joanna and Ken, had an uber-creative submission. They were the only ones to design an amazing PDF entry, full of pictures and stories (rather than the run of the mill, “we met here and are getting married there” entry that we saw almost 80 of!) She also happens to be a wedding blogger on one of our other favorite sites!! Johanna is Miss Poodle on the WeddingBee!!

Adi met the couple on one of our recent rainy (okay stormy) days in Southern California. It doesn’t happen very often that it pours in our neighborhood, and of course, we would have been happy to reschedule, however, Ken is juggling school as well as a probationary orientation for the Forest Service, so we had to stick with it.

To our surprise, the couple arrived in costume with props! Love it!!!
