Good afternoon from Esquire Photography HQ everyone!

I’m back in from photographing a totally gorgeous wedding for Liz & Rick (who rocked their Engagement Shoot) and as I’m sure you’ve seen with the updates on Twitter & Facebook o the sneak peek of their wedding yesterday on Instagram – yesterday was pretty amazing.

What’s also amazing is this great testimonial I received from Gene Franklin Smith for photographing the “Dream of the Burning Boy” performance at the Malibu Playhouse starring Ms. Melissa Kite.

Ali-The-Bachelorette-Belle-Aire-Jennifer-Love-Hewitt-e1341292361429How to Become a Celebrity Photographer From Attending Bingo Events to Social Networking

Bingo charity events are the perfect venue to start your stint as a celebrity photographer.  With all the famous personalities surrounding you, taking snapshots will be easy.  Aside from adding those pictures to your portfolio, you can also sell those pictures and earn big bucks.  Do you know that the wedding pictures of Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher were sold to OK! Magazine for $3 million?  I’m sure seeing those figures will entice you to become a celebrity photographer.  If you are new to this field, then here are some tips on how you can become a good celebrity photographer:

Attend Various Events
Make sure that you are updated on the latest celebrity happenings like the events of Legendary Bingo so you can purchase a ticket in advance.  Famous personalities such as Jennifer Love Hewitt, Tia Carrere, and Lance Bass were some of the celebrity callers in Legendary Bingo’s events.  You can also find the latest bingo happenings at FoxyBingo’s Twitter page including the recent National Reality TV Awards, which was attended by today’s hottest celebrities.  Why not get some tips from Foxy who took some awesome shots of the British boy band Five and the lovely girls of Bewitched?

Social Networking
You need to have a good network so you can land a photography stint in private celebrity gatherings.  Be friends with the manager of popular clubs like The Darby so you will know when famous personalities will go there.  Kanye West and Beyonce were spotted dining at the restaurant of this club as well as P. Diddy partying downstairs.  You can also work part-time for well-known celebrity magazines such as US Weekly or People so you can get assigned to various events and get the latest buzz on celebrities like Liam Hemsworth’s new love interest and Lindsay Lohan’s mischiefs.

By following these tips, coupled with skills and experience in photography, then you are on your way to a winning career.

Mr. Reverend Michael Ahern; the #1 Wedding Officiant in Orange County!  WHEW HEW!!

I’m sure you remember Reverend Michael from us working together for practically 20 years in the wedding industry.  Plus he’s been featured on “How To Make The Most Out Of Your Wedding Day” – which is also the NUMBER ONE Episode for the series as well.

So when I received a note from Reverend Michael sharing with me how he really liked the contest I’m hosting with Simply Bridal and my 50% off Military Discount and just had to get together with him to let him share his message himself.

I could go on & on about this, but really felt this needs a much more personal touch and we met up on Saturday to have brunch at Cappy’s Cafe on Pacific Coast Highway in Newport Beach & then record a video for you in front of South Coast Army & Navy Surplus with the owner; Michael’s permission.

Newport Beach Photographer 281 MotorsportsGood evening from Esquire Photography HQ everyone!  As I’m sure you saw on my Facebook & Twitter updates earlier today, the contest I’m hosting with Simply Bridal – giving away a FREE wedding dress received 2 new endorsements from Spouses of Norfolk Naval Station & Military Discount Finder have now joined the rapidly growing list with the US Marines, Military Disney Tips & 281 Motorsports.  Can I say WHEW HEW!

Well… speaking of 281 Motorsports… If they sound familiar to you – it’s because I’ve had the honour of working with the owners; April & Jason of this MEGA company for the past 6 years, first photographing their gorgeous San Diego Wedding Day at Paradise Gardens back in 2007 & their huge 281 Motorsports / Jason’s Birthday Party bash in 2008.  So when I received a note from April & Jason last week what I was doing on Friday & if I’d be interested in photographing the red carpet 5th anniversary VIP Gala for 281 Motorsports, I quickly cleared my calendar for them & said yes!

If you’re a Ford Mustang enthusiast, check out a clip from 281 Motorsports’ About Page:

“Our business model is pretty simple. We love the tire-shredding, horsepower-craving, adrenaline rush that you get when canyon carving on a nice sunny Southern California day. Whether it’s winning a gentlemen’s grudge race up at Willow Springs Raceway or taking a First Place trophy at a local car show… we know and understand how awesome it feels to win!”

April & Jason’s 5th Anniversary VIP Gala for 281 Motorsports was ahhhhhfreakinmayyyzeeng!  From the parade of modified & custom Ford Mustangs & Saleens outside the shop & displayed inside, to the homemade tacos & treats, thousands of dollars in raffle prizes given away, to the ROCKIN friends they had as a band slaying the music all the way to the very end of the night – their party was one for the books!

Before you scroll down to check out the video of the 281 Motorsports 5th Anniversary red carpet VIP Gala AND the guest appearance by the biggest Military Mascot; Max and you’re thinking…  Hey – I’d really like to get to know this Newport Beach Photographer who loves the arts, feel free to contact me anytime.  I’m available just about 24/7 via Twitter, Facebook, Google+, the form on my contact page, or the old fashioned phone as well at 888.ESQ.PHTO (888.377.7486) or 562.225.5915.
