Coming Soon | Our New Identity!!!!

When I write 'Our New Identity' it sounds so dramatic so listen to the following video to get the complete effect:



Ok, good. Now you're with me.  We have been working with the super talented people over at The Initial Design to create the beginnings of a new look and brand for our photography business.  This has been a long time in the making.  It's so exciting we can't wait to unveil what they have come up with!!! (you may want to re-listen to the above video at this point).  I'll wait...ok good.  It's such a challenge to encapsulate all that is a business into a cohesive idea that translates a message but they have done wonders and we are looking forward to implementing their ideas into so many facets of our business.  Keep checking back for the unveiling in the near future!

And if you are looking for solutions for your business please take a look at this site: http://www.theinitialdesign.com/
and give them a call.  We highly recommend their work. 

G+M Photography featured on Floral Design Website

We gave some images to a floral designer we worked with last year and it was great to see our wedding was one of a handful they decided to feature on their newly designed website. Thanks to Precious and Blooming Floral Design for putting together beautiful arrangements and choosing the images we created to show them off. If you are looking for a Floral Designer in the San Francisco Bay area check them out. Here's a link to their site:

Boston Wedding Photography | Tough Decisions

“The photographer you entrust with preserving those memories plays one of the most important roles in your wedding. As the years pass, what will remain of your wedding are your photographs, and you will eventually rely on them to remember the event and to share it with your children and grandchildren."

I have always loved this quote from the first time I read it. For me, one of the greatest things about photography is how looking at an image instantly takes me back to the time and the place when the image was made. It's easier to recollect the events surrounding the photograph, and to feel what you felt. And it's that ability of a good photograph to bring us back to emotions we felt that is so powerful. I came across an interesting blog post by a wedding photographer in Southern California, who wrote about the tough decision about sacrificing quality for price when it comes to your photographer. You may want to save a few $$ but be sure you find someone who's work you love, who is a professional, and who can deliver the type of imagery you are looking for. It's those images that you will have to remember the day when you and your love said 'I do'. Here's the link to his blog post. And this is a very interesting article he links to that was featured in a Seattle Bride Magazine. The Magazine sent out an amateur photographer to try to cover a wedding alongside a professional, and shows you the unfortunate results. Take a read here.

Happy Wednesday.

Lake Tahoe Photography | Chasing the Light

I thank John Sexton for once writing, "It is light that reveals, light that obscures, light that communicates. So it is light I 'listen' to." As photographers we are fascinated by the way light shapes our world, the way it reflects off a body of water or the way it defines a bride's veil. Especially as wedding photographers we have to be able to recognize, and more often than not create, a beautiful lighting situation quickly, then react to capture the image. But it's that ability to see the light that can turn a photograph that has potential into an image that really sings. Here are a couple of images looking towards Lake Tahoe that certainly exhibit those fleeting qualities:
