I’m sure you had seen from me on Twitter & Facebook I was wrapping up 2011 with my Workshop I taught with my good friend & fellow photographer Danny in Paris France and then hopped a plan with my BFF & MEGA East Coast Photographer; Valerie to Berlin, Germany. Where I received the royal treatment of hospitality from my new friends, the cooks tour of Berlin from Valerie and a Portrait Photo Shoot of Christin & Christoph.

Valerie & I arrived at Graffiti Heaven U-Bahn station after an amazing boat ride on the Spree River through Berlin earlier that afternoon with friends.  Since we were a little early, Valerie introduced me to Curry Wurst, which is ahhhhhfreakin’mayyyyzeeeeng!  Once we enjoyed our Curry Wurst, we met up with Christin & Christoph for their Portrait Photo Shoot and that’s when the fun began.

Graffiti Heaven in Berlin, Germany is a photographer’s dream come true for photo shoots!  Everywhere we turned there was an exquisitely painted wall, building, debris, misc and random items that would be out of place anywhere else – was perfectly in symbiotic harmony at Graffiti Heaven.

The weather was perfect for Christin & Christoph’s Portrait Photo Shoot as it drizzled from time-to-time, but yet gave me the best light to have fun with them & capture their portraits.

What also made their portrait photo shoot special for me was I shot all their portraits with my totally manual operation Leica M8 and a vintage 35mm lens from 1958.  Having to slow down a bit gives me the opportunity to capture few photographs that are much more accurate along with having the ability to utilize a lens that’s far more superiour to anything from Canon & Nikon.  Basically I was using the best of German engineering for camera equipment in Berlin, Germany.  How cool is that!?!

As I’m guessing you had seen on Twitter & Facebook, 2011 was bursting at the seams with Engagement Shoots, Portraits and Weddings I photographed from Newport Beach down to San Diego and all the way up to Oakland.  There was even the Military Promotion that went on throughout the end of 2011 and the Workshop I taught with my good friend & fellow photographer Danny in Paris France.

But!  There was one photo shoot that I was dying to do – but it needed a little more homework for the location and wardrobe.

It was a portrait shoot of my Rock Star Client Concierge; Linda.  If you haven’t had the honour of chatting with, working with or even getting to know Linda yet, I really suggest that you do.  Your life will be richer because of it!

Linda & I first met nearly a decade ago when she hired me to capture some photos of her Girl Scouts troop.  From there & over the past ten years, Linda has hired me to do other photography projects for her – but more importantly to me, we’ve become really awesome friends.

Last year, my family business of nearly 30 years had some fantastic experiences, growing pains, a couple technology speed bumps and a few staff changes.  One of which was the need for a replacement assistant for me.  I needed someone I could trust not just with my business, but more importantly to me; my family name.  I had been advertising for nearly a year, chatting with people that were interested in the opportunity, but it wasn’t until Linda reached out to me that she had seen I was looking for someone & offered to see if I would be interested.

Fast forward several months later & armed with a Masters degree in Business & Marketing, Linda has the taken things over for me in a way that is unparalleled by previous assistants and other’s that have tried & failed for my not-to-unreasonable high expectations.  Not that what I expect is unreasonable, but I expect the same thing from others that work with me that I deliver every day and that is my best.

After returning from my trip to Paris AND Berlin shooting, for the workshop and getting caught up on nearly 2,000 emails – Linda & I got together at a secret location to do some portraits of her.  They’re also not just for Esquire Photography so people could put a face to her voice & emails – but I really wanted to to capture Linda’s fun, playful, serious & passionate persona.  AND!  I wanted to shoot it old school, so I broke out my Leica M8 armed with my 35mm lens from 1958 (Yes, you read that right & it was THE go to camera in Paris & Berlin!) and we proceeded to rock her photos in about an hour.  I absolutely prefer to shoot ALL manual as it forces me to get what I do in the camera about 99% accurate & the model has to slow down & get it right as well.  SAHWEET!

ALSO!  Check out the killer dog tag Linda is wearing by uber designer to the celebrities; Kate Mesta.  It screams Madonna with the colours and peace symbol on it.  So totally perfect and Linda got it for her birthday last month before I left for Paris & Berlin.  Awesome!

I’ve put together a rockin’ and fast slide show of just a few of my favourite photographs I captured during Linda’s Long Beach Portrait Shoot below.  I’ve also been able to license another song from the local Southern California MEGA band; Darvoset featuring; Kristine, Jay, Brian & Lindsay who you might remember in their MEGA Riverside Photo Shoot. The song is “Benign” and it has a certain edge, passion and creativity in it which is exactly perfect for Linda’s photo shoot!

Good evening from caffeinated HQ of Esquire Photography in Orange County everyone!  I’m one Newport Beach Wedding Photographer who is totally beside himself with all the blessings of exciting Engagement Shoots, Portraits, Quinceañeras, and Weddings I’ve been photographing from Newport Beach down to San Diego and all the way up to Oakland. 

As if that wasn’t enough going on – I’m sure you saw on Twitter & Facebook the two MEGA announcements I shared this past weekend.

One of which is the Military Promotion that launched on Saturday.  I had the honour of giving it to Ali & Justin when I was up at Edward’s Air Force Base with both of their parents location scouting and going over details for their Lancaster Wedding Day I’m photographing next August.

The other HUGE announcement I shared is the Workshop I’m teaching with my good friend & fellow photographer Danny in Paris France.  Can I just say; “Wholly Nachos & Newcastles!”  So if you’re in Paris over Christmas break, totally let me know because the workshop is very affordable & only 100 Euros per person.

With all this talk about helping brides & grooms who are active in the military save money on their wedding photography and helping photographers with a totally MEGA gorgeous location called; Paris, France save some money with a workshop – it only felt appropriate to share this awesome story from my friends at Elegala on establishing a wedding budget.

With the average wedding cost at over $25,000, it’s no wonder tackling the budget is one of the most overwhelming tasks on your to-do list.  We’ve come up with a few steps to help you put it all in perspective and build a plan of attack.

3 Simple Steps To Establishing A Wedding Budget

Step 1: Talk to all contributing parties
As the cost of weddings increase, so does the number of people paying for them (good news for the bride’s parents, who no longer need to take out a second mortgage to fund their daughter’s nuptials). You’ll need to sit down with everyone who is going to contribute to the wedding-day piggy bank and discuss how to logically divide the tab and arrive at a total number.

The old-school rules dictating who pays for what are meant to be broken, but you can definitely use these wedding etiquette guidelines on who pays for what as a starting point for your budget discussion.

Step 2: Allocate totals for each service accordingly
Now that you’ve arrived at a reasonable total budget, you’ll need to determine where that money is going to go. Come up with a list of items/vendors/details you’ll need, and how much you’ll allocate to each.  Then you can customize each amount based on your style and priorities. For instance, if a fabulous wedding gown is particularly important to you, you may splurge in that area, and make up for it by cutting back on your floral arrangements.

Step 3: Get a system and start saving
You’ll need to establish a reliable method to keep track of all savings and expenditures. There are endless ways to save and track your finances, from sophisticated software to old-fashioned spreadsheets. You can download easy-to-use budgeting software at My Wedding Organizer, Five Star Software or Elm Software for $29.95.

Bank It
If you’ve already got a hefty seed to put down for your affair, talk with your financial institution about the best way to accrue interest leading up to your big day. A seemingly nominal interest rate can mean the difference between Vera Wang and hand-me-downs. Just be sure to open an account separate from your personal savings so that you won’t be tempted to dip into the funds and ultimately find yourself in the hole.

Save Smart
If you are starting from zero with your wedding-day savings, consider paying for as many of your expenses as possible on a credit card that amasses benefits like frequent flier miles, rewards, or cash back that can go toward your honeymoon travel.

Awesome – yes!?!  Three quick and easy steps to help save money and stick to your wedding budget.  I love it!

So you’re thinking… Hey – I’d really like to get to know this Newport Beach Wedding Photographer (Previously a Huntington Beach Wedding Photographer) who helps brides, grooms and photographers save money and loves music & fashion, photography and art, feel free to contact me anytime.  Perhaps you’re a fan of Nachos & Newcastles (My favourite snack!) like Duran Rex and I & if so – we could always meet at Fred’s Mexican Cafe on Main & PCH in Huntington Beach.  They’re out of this world at Fred’s!

I hope you’re having a great start to your holiday season & stay in touch for some more absolutely incredible events that I’m sharing this week.  From San Diego to Newport Beach and all the way up to Oakland – I’ll have some fantastic Weddings and events that I’ve had the honour of photographing.  And of course, Kristine, Jay, Brian & Lindsay from Darvoset with their MEGA performance where Kate Mesta provided some “One of a Kind” jewelry (which I’m sure you saw from Darvoset’s Riverside Photo Shoot) and be sure to check out the Huntington Beach Photo Shoot of Sarah for her portfolio for The Ford Modeling Agency – Cheers!

PS, I just had to use one of my favourite photos I captured at Monique & Collin’s Ventura Wedding at the Wedgewood Buenaventura.  They were both a BLAST for their Engagement Shoot & Wedding!

I was about to start putting the finishing touches on a Ventura Wedding I recently captured at the Wedgewood Buenaventura and saw a note from April, who’s San Diego Wedding I photographed and her husband Jason’s Race Car-inspired birthday bash I did photography for as well in my inbox.  At first, I thought – they were another couple that was having a baby & wanted me to capture some new family portraits.  But when I looked a little closer, it was a note from April with her Event Planning company; Inspired By Love letting me know that Jason’s Birthday Party I photographed was featured on Party and Event Guide’s website.  Can I say… AWESOME!

Wait, did I say 80′s?!?  Well… since I did – I have some really fun photos to share with you from Club 1984 in downtown Los Angeles.  Recently after a Laguna Beach Portrait Photo Shoot with Natalie for her Sweet 16 Birthday Party at the Westridge Golf Club that was coordinated by uber-awesome wedding planner; Monique with A Blissful Affair (who BTW was one of my totally rad brides I worked with for her La Habra Wedding), I received a note from my fellow 80′s, Tears For Fears, Duran Duran and just about all things creative & fun friend; Carrie – that she was in town with one of her BFFs and going to Club 1984.

Whew!  That was a run on, yet hopefully articulate sentence.  HeHeHe!

Well, I can’t turn down hanging out with a friend who’s in town and so I jumped into Rio, headed back to Esquire Photography HQ (previously in Huntington Beach), backed up Natalie’s photos and because I always have a camera charged & ready to go – ran out the door to meet up with Carrie & her BFF at Club 1984 in Los Angeles.

Needless to say – the night was awesome & taken it to the HNL because Stacey Q and Trans X performed and even the world famous Richard Blade was hosting the night and spinning a little.  Can I get a “Wholly Nachos & Newcastles!”

Just a little while ago today after I got off the phone with my Birthday Brother; Jason (who was chatting with me when I took the Photograph of Duran Rex watching Duran Duran’s Arena video on the iPad) – I put together a fun slide show to share with you.  Plus I thought it only seemed appropriate as Carri is back in town today and a bunch of us are getting together after the Tears For Fears concert at the Wiltern Theatre in downtown Los Angeles.  Which I just saw is now sold out as I was writing this for you.  This is definitely deserving of a Keanu Reeves; “WHOA!“.

So!  Before you check out some of my favourite photographs from Club 1984 and you’re thinking…  Hey – I’d really like to get to know this Newport Beach Wedding Photographer (Previously a Huntington Beach Wedding Photographer) that loves music (especially 80′s music), fashion, photography and art, 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.

I hope you’re having a great start to your weekend & stay tuned for some more absolutely epic weddings, events and portraits that I’ve been photographing all over Southern California.  From San Diego, to Newport Beach, and Ventura – I am totally honoured to have captured more than a quarter of a million photographs this year and I hope you’re enjoying them as much as I am photographing them.

Ok, that’s it for today and this is David Esquire, a caffeinated Newport Beach Wedding Photographer that needs to get ready to head out & meet my friends in downtown Los Angeles for the Tears For Fears Concert.  Which I’m sure I’ll be sharing with you on Facebook later tonight or if you’re going – text me on my iPhone cuz some of us are getting together afterwards – cheers!

If you’re not too familiar with Photo Night Live out of the UK, check out this bit from their website:

“Photo Night Live is a weekly web TV show from the UK that aims to pull together the photography community once a week with special guests from the photo world discussing a chosen hot topic.

The format is a little different to other shows.  We invite one Pro Photographer at the top of their game and one emerging photographer who you may not yet be aware of in order to get a really cool discussion from both ends of the professional spectrum.

Each 30 min show is designed to give the viewers an in depth view into the world of pro photography, whilst matching up names who you probably would not see anywhere else, engaged in discussion.  It also provides excellent exposure to the emerging photographer and allows them to showcase themselves to the wider community.”

The episode for photographers that I was invited to be on was all about succeeding as YOU!  Imagine that!  An episode where I’m able to help other wedding and portrait photographer around the world with some of my experience helping them be themselves in an ever growing and seemingly endless sea of photographers.

My good friend & fellow photographer; Karlo Gesner heard me over at the [b] School talking copyright with the [b] ecker and really wanted to bring my message to his audience as well.

The hot topic of choice that Karlo knows I get really fired up about is Copyright.  We explored what it is, and what it means to photographers.  In this episode we answered those questions and talk about what copyright means to the artist, applying it to our own work, and respecting it in the work of others.
