WPPI Mentor Session 2012

vcs — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 07:00:37 +0000

“Every day is a new opportunity. You can build on yesterday’s success or put its failures behind and start over again. That’s the way life is, with a new game every day, and that’s the way baseball is.” – Bob Feller

I’m looking forward to another year at WPPI and my 5th annual Mentor Session. The shoot will be on Tuesday, Feburary 21th. It will be off the strip but transportation will be provided. More details for the session will come closer to WPPI.

Don’t let the baseball theme fool you… This shoot will be fashionable, grity, throw-back and fun! Think 20-30s New York or Chicago and Golden Era baseball.

The session fee also includes a ticket to our party Monday night. Maybe you heard about last year’s Mad Men Party! http://vimeo.com/23321839
I have never been more excited for a party than I am this year for the Madera Party.

USD Immaculata Ceremony and Estancia La Jolla Wedding – Ashley and Anthony: Part 1

vcs — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 00:51:44 +0000

Ashley and Anthony were one of my favorite couples last year. They were kind enough to participate in my Mentor Session in Las Vegas where we did a MAD MEN style shoot for their engagement session. Ashley’s dad was my baseball coach in collage at Azusa Pacific University so everything has come full circle.

The ceremony as held at the beautiful University of San Diego Immaculata and the reception at Estancia La Jolla Hotel and Spa. I loved everything about the style from the trolly transportation to Ashley’s amazing dress. The day ran smoothly with Emily Smiley and her team on site. Enjoy!

This is one of two weddings I photographed at Pelican Hill Resort during the last week of July. The LA All Stars had them dancing all night. Karaoke even broke out and lasted until 2AM. Coordination was handled by Jeannie Savage from About Details, Details.

Here are some of my other favorites from Matt and Kelsey’s wedding.

Kentucky Bride Featured Wedding – Matt and Kelsey

vcs — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 17:00:33 +0000

I photographed Matt and Kelsey’s wedding last April on a private horse farm outside Lexington, Kentucky. Kelsey did an absolutely amazing job designing her wedding. The ultimate example of DIY! It was a pleasure for me to be a part of their special day.

Matt and Kelsey are also photographers and I met them a few years ago in Las Vegas when Kelsey signed Matt up for a surprise ”Mentor Session” with yours truly. We’ve been friends and colleagues ever since. Their wedding was featured in the current issue of Kentucky Bride Magazine which is one of the finest publications in our industry.

Pelican Hill Resort Wedding, Newport Coast – Michelle and Jack

vcs — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 02:10:17 +0000

I photographed Michelle and Jack’s wedding at Pelican Hill Resort in Newport Coast back in May. Traditionally Memorial Day weekend has always been a busy weekend for weddings. In the past I’ve had double, triple and even one year a quadruple wedding weekend. However, this year only one and could be more delighted than to spend it with Michelle and Jack. We had an amazing wedding team. Their wedding was featured on Style Me Pretty last month as well. Below are some of my favorites from the day.

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
