Wedding Photographer Blog Theme

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

Hello,

After many emails for me to share my theme - single column wordpress theme - I have decided to code one that is more user friendly and give it away for free!  This wedding photographer blog theme was probably made popular by Jessica Claire or other wedding photography titans.

I recently launched a new company - www.tofurious.com - to host all of my cool marketing and industry techniques. Every week, www.tofurious.com will be promote a new wedding photography idea.

With its inception, Week One’s deployment is a one column wordpress blog theme for wedding photographers. It is a very simple theme that is complete editable / customizable. Keep checking www.tofurious.com for updates because I intend to make future themes with Twitter and Digg integrated! Future wedding photography blog themes can also be found under the following link http://www.tofurious.com/wedding-photographer-blog-theme.php. Check out our wickedly cool video!

Halloween Horror

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

Hello everyone,

First of all, Happy Halloween to everyone! In the spirit of this holiday, a few photographers and I roamed all over Los Angeles to take Halloween pictures. We jumped around everywhere including Los Angeles railroad tracks, alleys, and the Los Angeles Art District.  Enjoy!

This location was photographed under the 3rd St. bridge in Downtown Los Angeles.

Kiss Wedding Books

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008

Hello,

Just wanted to give a shout out to Kiss Wedding Books for always doing a phenomenal job at printing our flush mount albums. We have used a lot of companies in the past, but decided to switch over to Kiss for their superior print quality, bind, customer service (they check, recheck, triple check your designs before and after print), and super fast turnaround time!

We are so confident about Kiss’ craftsmanship that we recently used them to bind our vendor book for Turnip Rose knowing that lots of people will see it. The Furious Photographers confide in their books’ resilience to withstand the test of time [and brides].

The following are a few pictures of their books!

I was so inspired by Kiss Wedding Books’ motto of simplicity that we are forming a new company soon to cater to these standards. Check back soon for more details ;D

Thank you Kiss,

Import Car Photography | Chestobot

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

What a night!

Last night I photographed my friend’s - Cheston aka Chestobot - Nissan 350Z. His vehicle was published in a number of magazines and raced professionally amongst other top import vehicles.

Check out his engagement and wedding pictures ;D Cheston and his wife are so cute! Hi Angie!

This is Cheston on his wedding day doing his famous stoic grandpa pose (we have one framed on our wall):

Gavin - and good friend - assisted us with the shoot (his blog post). A number of other photographers and cronies also rolled up to gawk at the blue monster.

To achieve the above picture, we used two Alienbee strobes and four Canon 580EX II strobes all on remotes! This was the largest lighting setup we have ever done. We would never have this much time on a wedding day.

Look at all of those stickers!

My favorite! Jason (Lil J) and I came up with this idea. We called this the “garage shot” because it looked like a vehicle was pulling out of a garage. To achieve this, we used two powerful strobes to light the front hood, which puts the background a few steps darker, thus blackening everything else.

Oh no! The LAPD! Nah they were pretty chill. They hung out with us for a while! He said that if we ever do photography in LA and run into any trouble with authority, just give him a call. *giddy*

Thanks Cheston and all those who came out!
