Langham Hotel Wedding – Save the Date, Ella and Sam

vcs — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 15:18:06 +0000

I have a wedding on Saturday, September 17th at the Langham Hotel in Pasadena. The bride and groom have a Hollywood/Entertainment theme for their event. So for the grand entrance they are walking a red carpet and having a step and repeat. The coordinator had the idea of creating a paparazzi style entrance. Their Save the Date was a recreation of a entertainment tabloid.

The entrance is set for 6PM so everyone can start arriving by 5:30. Please bring your camera and flash set up to recreate the glamour of the red carpet walk.

The couple is going to provide pizza and drinks for everyone. We can use it as a B School get together. I’m sure I’ll have some downtime to eat and hangout as well. It’s also a great chance to check out a great hotel.

Please respond to this thread or email me directly: vcs@vcsphoto.com
I’d like to get a head count later this week so they can plan on the pizza.

Thanks, vcs

I finally got around to finishing all my processing from the Mentor Session in Las Vegas. We had an amazing group of people and I want to thank everyone involved. Summer of Grey Likes Weddings made a great post a couple days ago. My models/clients/friends Diane and Kevin just got married last weekend in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico at an amazing place called Villa Verono. Anna our bride model was a bridesmaid and in full effect! I look forward to getting those images out soon, enjoy.

Hey Everyone,

I’m offering a private one on one session on Monday at WPPI. This is a chance to sit down and learn anything you want; marketing, photoshop, workflow, shooting, pricing, a business or portfolio critic or etc… Maybe even a little Bourbon knowledge will be shed. I’m only doing one so consider it your very own private four hour workshop. If you are a husband and wife team you can both come. Then consider me as friend and a source for advise or tips in the future!

Paris Photography Workshop – Day 2

vcs — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 22:47:04 +0000

On day 2 we photographed two different couples with two very different styles. The first session we did a mock getting ready and first meeting and shot close to the hotel and around Champs-Elysees. Then with the second session we had a nice walking route with the couple that included the Louvre. Enjoy!

Here’s a shot of our group!

I wonder if that guy had a good view?
