Quite bluntly, I’m one Newport Beach Wedding Photographer who’s over the moon excited about a Stacie’s family and an awesome email I received from Stacie while she & Mike on on their honeymoon in Hawaii about their Orange County Wedding I recently photographed at the Mission Viejo Country Club.

“Hi David!

We are excited to pick some favorites to print and get put on canvas and all that fun stuff!!! Just wanted to send a quick note to let you know how much we appreciate the hard work you’ve put in to get the photos done in only five days!!!!!!!!! Unbelievable.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

AND!

“ALOHA!!!!!!!!!!! We’re waiting for the rain to stop here in Maui so we can go on a driving adventure up the coast!!!

Thank you so very much for the wonderful compliment about our wedding day!!! That really means a lot to us!! I felt overwhelmed with love that day and I’m glad you felt it too!! Everyone has been telling me how much that loved your work and you as a person. People felt so comfortable with you and it shows in the photos.

Speaking of the photos – WOW!!!!!! I’m blown away by their complete awesomeness!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!! I keep looking at them in disbelief that it’s really US!!! I better clear lots of wall space because they are all pieces of art that I want to showcase in our home.

“Love comes in all shapes sizes and forms” David Esquire

Good afternoon from Newport Beach at Esquire Photography HQ in Orange County everyone!  I’m one Newport Beach Wedding Photographer who is totally flattered and honoured to share a few VERY powerful & amazing notes I received on my Facebook Page recently that left me speechless & breathless about a very special event I photographed for Monique & Cesar.

I’m one Newport Beach Wedding Photographer who is totally flattered and honoured to share a VERY powerful note I received on my Facebook Page recently from Amy & Ron about a very special photo I captured with them and Amy’s Grandparents.  In fact, this photo happens to be the LAST photo of Amy’s Grandmother before she went home and passed away over this weekend.

If you were keeping up with my social media updates on Sunday either on Twitter, Facebook, or Google+, then you more than likely know how passionate I am about photography.  In fact, I truly believe in my heart to it’s very core that photography can change the world.  If you are thinking how that can be, let’s examine a short list of emotions that are produced when looking at just one photo:

• Happiness
• Joy
• Anger
• Motivation
• Calmness
• Peace
• Heartache
• Positivity

With that said, here is what Amy had to say about not only the photograph of her Grandmother, but about her experience working with me; David, a professional Newport Beach Wedding Photographer.  Or as I like to call myself; “A guy with a camera.”

TOTALLY WONDERFUL & AMAZING & I’m completely moved by it.  In fact, when I received the note from Amy & Ron – I sent a note to Kristine letting her know that I was in tears reading it.  Definitely a comment I won’t forget for the rest of my life.

NOW for the Wedding Cautionary Tale.

I just shared on my myriad of social media platforms a couple who received some absolutely horrendous photography from their wedding vendor.  Here is a LINK to the story online and a LINK to a discussion on my Facebook Fan Page.

That’s pretty intense!  A couple paid hard earned money to a “professional”  photographer who should have been able to deliver to them an amazing experience and even more importantly at the end of the day; incredible photography they can cherish and share with their family for the rest of their lives.  There are NO re-takes on your wedding day.

If you’re wondering why I included this in a testimonial, it’s quite simple.  Which experience would you rather have?  Granted not all cheap photographers are going to do that, BUT there is something to be said when you hire the best you can afford and someone that has the experience to deliver the goods when thrown into any situation.

Or to mix it up a bit, who’s fault was it?  The photographer who delivered what they were capable of (which I could stand up on my soap box all day about) or the couple who hired them knowing what the photographer could deliver (OR was deceived into thinking they could deliver).  My thoughts are it’s both.  Harsh?  Yes.  But it’s a real situation that unfortunately happened and I wanted to share a real answer to a real question.

So I really want to drive home the importance of doing your homework when hiring your professional photographer.  Make sure you hire one that has the experience, technical know-how, gear and above all – a personality you’re going to enjoy working with for a deal of time.  I know that I am an “acquired taste” of a character/person who wants to laugh, giggle and cry with every one of my couples at each & every wedding.  From the minute we meet up to the end of the wedding day – I want to enjoy the wedding day as much as bride & groom did.  Why?  Because what I do is not a paycheck to me.  It’s my livelihood and more importantly to me; it’s your wedding & you deserve the BEST.  Period.

To wrap it up, I’m totally flattered by comments like this & it truly is one of the many reasons why I’ve been a professional photographer from Orange County/Los Angeles to Berlin, London and Paris, France for nearly 29 years (Yes, nearly three decades.  Crazy I know!).

With that said, if you or someone you know is thinking… Hey – I’d really like to get to know this Newport Beach Wedding Photographer (Previously a Huntington Beach Wedding Photographer) that loves music & fashion, photography and art, feel free to contact me anytime.

Easter Sunday this year was a totally amazing day for me as I made a very large donation to two military families, had quite the feast for an Easter Brunch at Del Taco & then rode the Iron Horse to Santa Monica to photograph Paige & Corey’s Engagement Shoot.

Their Engagement Shoot was a blast & to make it special for me as well – they shared their experience in a little iPhone video testimonial after their two hour photo shoot that started at the Viceroy Hotel on Ocean in Santa Monica.

I’m one Newport Beach Photographer who is totally flattered and honoured to share a couple of notes I received on my Facebook Page recently from Denise & Miguel about their Engagement Photo Shoot I captured with them and their horses.

If you were keeping up with my social media updates on Sunday either on Twitter, Facebook, or Google+, then you more than likely saw the iPhone Photograph I captured of my LCD on my Canon 5D Mark II.  I was doing my best to hold back during the day & not share anything until it was all completed, but sadly – I was unable able to do that & shared that photography.

But in doing so, I was able to shed some light on how amazing their Engagement Photo Shoot was coming along and quite a few people chimed in about it.  Plus, I received some wonderful notes on Facebook HERE and HERE from Denise & Miguel.  Check these out!

“Love comes in all shapes, sizes, and forms.”  -David Esquire

Good afternoon from Newport Beach at Esquire Photography HQ in Orange County everyone!

I’m one Newport Beach Photographer who is totally flattered and honoured to share a note I received on my Facebook Page recently from a previous Bride & current awesome friend & event planner at A Blissful Affair; Monique regarding a celebration of life I photographed for her family before I left for my Workshop in Berlin, Germany.

Photographing this celebration of life was very difficult for me as I knew Mike who recently passed away and I’ve known Monique, her husband Cesar and their family for several years.  So to be invited to capture the day was very moving for me, but at the same time quite bitter-sweet.

Here is the note I received from Monique on Facebook & I think it really sums up how much it not only meant to several people who were there, but to the family and friends as well.

Feel free to read on.  I’m moved every time I pour over her words.

I’m totally flattered by comments like this & it truly means the world to me being able to help families celebrate those who have moved on!  Also, if you or someone you know is thinking… Hey – I’d really like to get to know this Newport Beach Wedding Photographer (Previously a Huntington Beach Wedding Photographer) that loves music & fashion, photography and art, feel free to contact me anytime.
