3 More Weddings Booked!

Well it's been a few months since I posted, i'm really bad about updating my blog as you can see. Hopefully I can make my goal for next year to be about updating my blog daily or several times a week at least.

A few updates here at ES Imaging. I recently purchased the new ASUS Transformer tablet. This is a slick little unit that allows me to showcase my work to clients when meeting with them. It has an amazing IPS display that really shows off the photos in high quality. It's a great investment for my photography business and I look forward to all the new Android apps that will be coming out for it later this year.

October 2011 is going to be another busy month of wedding photography. Right now I have 3 weddings booked for the month and I cannot wait. All the couples are wonderful and i've had a blast meeting them all and getting to know the two of them. I'm really looking forward to October and also filling up the rest of my weekends to make it a full month.

Saundra and Jason's Wedding Today!

Well today ended up being a wonderful day! The forecast called for rain all weekend long. Lastnight the storm rolled in and dropped an inch of rain on the valley. Today was supposed to be just as wet. Luckily this afternoon the clouds started to part and the sun started shining! We had a great day of amazing photo's from Saundra and Jason. I cannot wait to post some photo's for everyone to see!

Models Victoria and Greg

Time to do a few updates on the blog and share what has been going on. Last month I had a wonderful shoot with Greg and Victoria, two local models here in the valley. Victoria is young, tall, beautiful with a great career ahead of her. She is new to the modeling scene and I wish her the best of luck. Greg has had a years worth of experience and decided to get back into the industry. He to will have a great career ahead of him if he sticks with it this time!

I really enjoyed shooting both of them. It was quite hot that day and especially in the evening after the sun went down, it was really humid outside. We all made the best of it and had a lot of fun. I can't wait to shoot both of them again in the future to come and I wish them both the best of luck.

Here are a few photos from the shoot.

Lack of Posts

Hello all, i cannot believe it's the middle of August already. Time has really flown by this year. It's been an alright summer but the wedding season is coming upon us. October we have record bookings in place with a total of 6 wedding scheduled plus a few other family shots. It will be a very busy month! If you are looking for photos please consider September or November as there are dates available yet.

I will get some photos updated on the blog. I've taken a nice vacation to South Dakota and still have a ton of pictures to sort through plus a handful of weddings that we have covered since the last post. Thanks for keeping an eye on the blog and also dont forget to watch my facebook page. It's a little more active there. You can join and become a fan by following this link.

Anthony and Debbie's Wedding

Yesterday Suzie and I spent our afternoon in the blazing heat photographing a lovely couple from Glendale. This was the first wedding Suzie helped photograph and she did an amazing job. Here are a few sample pictures from the wedding with tons more to come! Congrats to Debbie and Anthony on their special day!

Photoshoot with Luccia

Yesterday I had a great opportunity to work with an amazing photographer Joel Contreras shooting a model by the name of Luccia. Joel invited me a long to share some of his tips and tricks and teach me a few things about photographing models. We had a lot of fun doing this shoot in Scottsdale, AZ. Here is one photo from the many that were taken. Please keep an eye on my site for more to come.

E Session with Rachel and Jameson

Last week I had a great opportunity to work with a lovely couple from Mesa. We chose to go to the new Mesa Art Center in downtown Mesa, wow what a cool place. This was my first time there and we all had a blast. Here are a few shots of them, enjoy!

Day 19 - Dinner Club May 2010 - Project 365

My wife had a great idea to start a dinner club with friends and family members. Basically once a month someone will recommend a local restaurant and we go eat there! Pretty simple ay? We try to choose the small mom and pop shops or the non-chain locations to try. Today we went to the Fire & Spice Grill at the Sheraton in Tempe, AZ. The food was excellent, the service was excellent and the Suns beat the Spurs so even more excellent. We will certainly go back and eat here again. Here is a group shot of our first Dinner Club party!

Day 18 - Westgate Bike Night 2010 - Project 365

Today was a great day! I received my new Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 lens in the mail. Luckily we made plans to go to the Westgate Thursday Night Bike Night which is hosted once a week until the end of June. Lots of bikers from around the valley go here to strut their stuff. Not only did I strut my Warrior around but I whipped out the new ultra wide angle lens to give it a test drive. I'm so glad I chose this lens. It performed flawlessly in low light conditions. It's sharp as a tack and takes amazing photos. I honestly cannot wait to get some great downtown shots with this bad boy. It's going to be a fun lens and it just opened a new can of worms for me.

Here is one of the very first pictures I took with my new Tokina UWA lens. It's a shot of the bikes at Westgate this evening.

Day 17 - Airplane Graveyard - Project 365

I've always liked this airplane graveyard located in Goodyear, AZ. I decided to take a drive out to the location and see how close I could get to the planes. Unfortunately I did not have my telephoto lens with me at the time but still ended up getting a decent shot. There are hundreds of planes here. This is either their last stop or they are here for some refurbished work.

Day 16 - Flooded - Project 365

From all the rain we have had this year in sunny Arizona it has left us with some flooded roads. This is a road near PIR in Avondale. It's the Gila River and it's flowing quite fast and it's been this way for a few months now. I thought this was something different that you normally dont see here in AZ.

Day 15 - Apache Trail, AZ - Project 365

We took a drive out to Canyon Lake and then headed onto the Apache Trail to get a nice desert experience. Lots of flowers and lots and lots of bee's were around the area. We pulled off to the side of the road to search from some desert creatures but ended up finding a late blooming cactus.

Day 14 - Motorcycle Ride - Project 365

Well I had company visiting over the weekend and didn't have time to get my blog updated but I still managed to snap a few photos with my phone. Saturday the 24th we lowered my bike and then went for a nice long cruise after. Here is a quick shot I took of the bikes. It was a lot of fun and I can't wait to ride again. My bike is coming along nicely.

Day 13 - Estrella Mountains - Project 365

Today was quite chilly vs the prior week of 90+ weather. We hit a high of about 67 today. This picture was taken at the summit of South Mountain so it was a little cooler up there, around 61 and very windy. I was hoping for some rain but nothing happened. While I was up there I was able to get a great shot of the Estrella Mountain Range which is just behind out house.

Day 12 - Fugly Car - Project 365

I'm a fan of cars and I do like the SRT-4's when done up nicely. Normally they are stock or they are lowered and have a few aftermarket parts on it. Rarely do I ever spot something like this. It's got an ugly hood, ugly painted wheels, metal windshield wipers, turbo badges and just an overall fugly look to it. Since I took this at Walmart I think i'll post it at thepeopleofwalmart website.

Fugly Neon SRT-4:

Day 11 - Pollen - Project 365

With all the recent rain and warm weather we are having here in Arizona creates major issues for people who have allergies, me included. We have a tree in our front yard, i'm not exactly sure what kind it is, but it blossoms and drops these yellow balls of pollen on the ground all around it. This is one of the reasons why allergies are at one of the all time high's here in Arizona currently.

Day 10 - AZ Sunsets - Project 365

One thing unique about the deserts are the beautiful sunsets. Although they are not as picturesque as the ocean sunsets, they do a good job for us zonies. Here is a quick pick I took of the sunset this evening with my car in the background.

Day 9 - Summer is almost here - Project 365

Well today is quite warm here in the valley of the sun, we hit 93 for the high today. I better enjoy it while it lasts because endless days of 100+ is almost here.
