Good Afternoon Everyone!  To quote the words of Will Smith… “Boom!  Shake Shake The Room!”  That was pretty much what happened just a while ago when we had ourselves what was originally stated as a 5.8 earthquake & then the USGS confirmed it to be a 5.4 earthquake.  Here’s a Google MAP of how close it was to us in Huntington Beach & you can click on the picture to the right too.

I was on two calls at the time when it struck.  One on my iPhone with my brother; Tony at CDW in Chicago (Call him for anything CDW has in stock; 847.371.7132) about an order that we placed for our new Drobo and another call on our VOIP line with Pictage about our new gorgeous Modern Album coming in.  Which BTW we’re totally hoping will arrive prior to the Gay Bridal Expo we’re attending in Long Beach on Sunday, Aug. 24th.

Today wasn’t the “Big One” and praise God that it didn’t do to us what happened back in ’94 when the Northridge quake destroyed our place in Hollywood.  We were blessed with only minimal damage here at EPHQ, with several swords and shields being knocked down, a couple of pictures fell and a wonderful celtic cross that we had on top of one of the bookshelves too.  Fortunately nothing was seriously damaged, and other than Nilla and I having our nerves rattled a bit – we’re ok.

Today was a reminder to me and anyone here in Southern California that we should enjoy life as much as we can & be thankful to the Big Guy upstairs for the things we have been blessed with.

I hope your day wasn’t as gnarly as ours was & we’ll chat with you soon – cheers!

Good Evening!  I just got in from an incredible day with Annette & Jon along with their family & friends.  And, what an incredible day it was too!

Their day started off at Mission Hills Church in San Marcos where Annette and Jon prepared for their big day with their attendants.  Their ceremony was beautiful and the church reminded me of our church; Sea Coast Grace in Cypress.

Their ceremony started on time with a slide show prior to the ceremony for their 65 closest friends and family.  After the ceremony was when the fun really started to get into full-swing.  We had formal and some “Robert Palmer-inspired” portraits.

Their reception was held at the Lake San Marcos Resort with an absolutely stunning view of the lake from their room.  There wasn’t a shortage of dancing, laughs and pleanty of tears of joy throughout their reception.  Annette even had a little “surprise” for Jon during the cake cutting.

Here’s a few of my favourites from their day.  I hope you enjoy them as much as we did taking them – cheers!

Good Evening Everyone!  As I’m having a few hours to get caught up on emails from yesterday’s whirlwind day, I just received an extremely powerful instant message from Angela about her Wedding on June 20th in Laguna Beach.

This is worth more to us than anything.  Check it out!

“David,  I haven’t even gotten to the actual ceremony photos yet and I’m am in awe.  In crying right now!  You took me right back to the day!  You are wonderful!”

Good Afternoon Everyone!  We would like to let you know that our Photographer; David Esquire spoke at Lewis Elementary to a classroom of 5th graders about the importance of math and photography.

There’s a lot of debate in the world about how the creative arts don’t tie in with math & science and vice-versa.  But that is one of the biggest misconceptions ever!

Recently this came up in a conversation with some teachers and David paraphrased Einstein stating that “Creativity is more important than knowledge” and how neither cannot exist without the other.  So David was invited to speak to a classroom of 5th graders on how to do photography you must have a grasp on your math skills.

A few of the topics that were discussed were the rule of thirds, composition and geometric patterns in photographs.  David also brought some swag provided by Office Depot for the students that participated in the discussion.  The students all had a great time & we’re confident that he’ll be asked to return for the upcoming school year – which we know he’d be honoured to do.

If you are a faculty member at a school and are interested in David speaking to your class about art and science with photography or having David be a motivational speaker explaining how you can overcome your obstacles and achieve your dreams, please contact us at; info@esquirephotography.com or you can fill in our form on our Contact page.

Have a super week!
