Brent & Noriko's wedding

This past Saturday, Sandy & had had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of an old friend of mine, Brent to his amazing new wife Noriko. For me it was like shooting a family members wedding as I have been close to his family for many years.
This was a wedding of firsts for us. It was our first time using our new Radio poppers (I will post a review in another post), It was also our first time truly using off-camera flash, and it was our first time creating a slide show for the reception. Despite the challenges, it all went off incredibly well and it was a beautiful wedding at The French Estate in old-town Orange.
Much more can be said about how great Brent & Noriko's wedding was, but for me, pictures speak better than words.
More images will be posted online over the coming week, so for those interested, please post a comment here or send me an E-mail and I will send the link when the images are up.
This is a long show, so be please patient if the upload is slow. For all of Brent & Noriko's friends & family, I promise this will be worth the wait.




Here are some of my faves so far....

Mel & Kev's E-Session

With 30-something days until Melanie and Kevin's wedding, I wanted to take the time to post the best of the E-session we shot for them a while back.

Jessica's Grad-Show

This slide show was created via Animoto.com. The images are of our friend Jessica made for her graduation. Congratulations Jessica!

If only I had thought to do this myself!

Congrats to Suzette & Sean

It's a pleasant relief to be a guest at a wedding every now & then to enjoy the fruits of the couple's labors and enjoy the day without the pressures of being the photographer. Although we we have loved to cover Suzette & Sean's wedding this past weekend as they are a handsome couple and had a perfectly planned wedding, it was nice to observe another photographer in action. The photography was left in the very capable hands of Katie Moos Photography and she did an outstanding job.
Trying hard to relax and NOT impose or get in her way, we kept to ourselves and our immediate friends and whatever else we simply could not let go.
So, from a guest's point of view, here's what we got:




The first dance must have been planned to happen at the peak of the golden hour.


The Ross Family are good friends of ours and, well...very interesting people...



This is the lovely couple who's wedding you will see in November:


And here they are in a more natural state...

Sandavi Photographers featured on Canvas-on-demand's web site...

In a previous post, I raved about a promotional offer from Canvas on Demand and the excellent service they gave me. The rave was well received as they have featured my comments and our image on their site.
