One of our friends from Church had there son return home today after graduating from Marine Boot Camp in San Diego. We are so proud of Nathan, there is nothing like seeing a young boy grow up these past years and now become a man. The uniform says it all…looking into his eyes today I saw a new person, he stood taller, was more mature and was proud to be a Marine. Nathan, we too are proud of you. Congratulations!!

I photographed Private Nathan Giles in my church lobby this morning, natural light, non retouched, just a little motion blur on the background in photoshop. Nikon D300, 80mm 1.8 lens

Every wedding that displays one of their engagement photos with a signature matte is always a big hit, not only for the guests to see and sign but for my couples to enjoy for years to come. It’s really important to have an engagement session done prior to your wedding, it helps both you and your photographer get comfortable with each other and gives you a chance to work with each other too. The time spent is always worth it when you hang your beautful framed signature board in your first home!  

One of the great things I have enjoyied about living here in the Sacramento region these past seven years is all the beauty and all the cool locations for weddings and receptions it offers. Living on the San Francisco peninsula most of my life it was mostly Churches and Hotels for receptions, very few weddings or receptions at country clubs or golf courses. Not so in the Sacramento area. There are so many different venues from Bed and Breakfast locations, Wineries, Mansions, Victorian Hotels and Italian style villas here. The other great value that this area offers is the cost factor. Its about half the price for a wedding here compared to the San Francisco Bay Area.

Once in awhile I have old clients from the bay area call me because now their kids are getting married and they ask me if I have ever shot weddings in the Sacramento area? They are as surprized as I am when we both find out we all  live here now. I have at least three other couples I have run into that live here that I photographed  more than ten years ago. It seems more and more people are finding out what a great value this area is and you can have a richer life here as well. So…if you know anyone that is planning a wedding, let  them know that Sacramento is  the place to get married! Oh..and for you snow lovers, its just a short 2 hour trip over the mountains to beautiful Lake Tahoe!

More news in the coming weeks as we get booked up for 2009!

All my best,   Randy
