Check these out!

And here’s what Stacie shared with me in her email just a few moments ago!

“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.

With all the exciting photo shoots, weddings and events going on with Esquire Photography around the world (like my next International Photography Workshop in London, England) it’s definitely an awesome 2012 so far.  And!  It’s only May!

I’m sure if you saw some of my Twitter or Facebook updates on Saturday, then you probably read about the fun that was going on in Mission Viejo for Stacie & Mike’s Wedding I was photographing.

I first had the honour of meeting Stacie & Mike back in 2008 at Dana & Rod’s Long Beach Wedding at the Sky Room in Downtown Long Beach.  I could tell from the minute I met them nearly four years ago they were an awesome couple, so when they reached out to me to photograph their wedding, there was only one word that escaped my lips and that was a resounding; YES!

One of my favourite stories from Stacie & Mike’s wedding is her wedding dress.  Stacie bought her wedding dress at David’s Bridal nearly ten years ago when her & Mike first started dating.  She just knew he was the one & to accessorize her wedding dress perfectly, Stacie also wore her Grandmother’s pearl necklace, her sister’s pearl earrings and a friend of hers made a beautiful garter with blue beads on it too.

Stacie & Mike’s outdoor garden wedding was held towards sunset at the Mission Viejo Country Club.  From the floral arrangements provided by; Bloomers Flowers in La Jolla, to the Bundt Cake & Bundt Cake minis (Rod & I were having fun reenacting the scene from “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” before the cake toss saying “Bundt” – hehehe!), to the entrance song; “Power of Love” by Huey Lewis & the News (they first met at a Huey Lewis concert) & DJ Christopher Mathews blowing the roof off with the best spinning AND mixing I’ve heard in a long Long LONG time at a reception – their wedding day was an absolute blast.

I would like to say thank you to Ms. Lorraine Grassmann, the Assistant General Manager & Membership Director at the Mission Viejo Country Club too.  She led an army of professionals – making sure Stacie & Mike’s Mission Viejo wedding was absolutely perfect for me to photograph.  If you’re looking for an exquisite property with the best service in the industry – totally contact Lorraine as soon as possible because their dates tend to book up fast!

That said, if you are interested in me capturing photographs for your event or wedding or want to have a great time at my London Workshop…. then definitely contact this Newport Beach Wedding Photographer (Previously a Huntington Beach Wedding Photographer) who loves music & fashion, photography and art anytime.

I’m available just about 24/7 via Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, the form on my contact page, or the old fashioned phone as well at 888.ESQ.PHTO (888.377.7486) or 562.225.5915 or the NEW UK/International Number:  44-770-006-1498.

I’m sure if you saw some of my Twitter or Facebook updates yesterday, then you probably read about the fun that was going on yesterday in Mission Viejo for Stacie & Mike’s Wedding I was photographing. Well… I happened to put together a little taster of their wedding day – sharing some of the fun while I’m still working on the final edits of their wedding day.

I hope you’re having a great weekend and stay tuned for many other amazing events that I’m sharing and some more May Madness Promotions.  From San Diego to Newport Beach, Ventura and all the way out to Paris, France and Berlin, Germany – I’ll have some fantastic Weddings and events that I’ve had the honour of photographing.

If I went out & bought a flute, does that mean I’m qualified to perform with the LA Philharmonic?  If I bought a basketball, does that mean I’m qualified to play with the Lakers?

If you weren’t hired to capture all the memories of the wedding day, why are you telling me that you brought your camera “just in case” or my favourite – you’re a “professional photographer” (with your Canon Rebel & pop up flash) and are there to capture photos for the bride & groom.  If that’s the case, then you should show up with a computer, speakers & music & push the DJ out of the way.  Or why don’t you bring flowers?  Or a cake?  OR Better yet – YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER!

Also, the next Uncle Bob or Aunt Betty that sticks his or her camera over my shoulder next to my one good ear that I can hear out of will be asked to put your camera away and/or removed from the wedding.  I will exercise the clause in my contract that protects my client; the bride & groom who paid me hard earned money to capture their wedding without interruption by YOU; the GUEST OF THE WEDDING.

Bottom line is, you’re DISRESPECTING the bridal couple & their families by doing what you’re doing.  NOT me.  I’ve captured MILLIONS of photos for tens of thousands of clients from Los Angeles, to Berlin, Germany, Paris, France & London, England in nearly 29 years so trust me, I KNOW WHAT I’M DOING!

With that said, I’m not going to reinvent the wheel & share a previous story that I’ve shared consistently AT LEAST once a year since I first wrote it & recorded the video two years ago with you.

Thank you for reading, watching & if you’re that person who disrespects the bride & groom, I welcome your comments on why you feel entitled to do what you do.

Enjoy!

Last week I met with Bernadette and her fiance’: Vlad at the Surf & Sand Resort in Laguna Beach where my client turned great friend; David Jacob works at to chat about their wedding over some beverages and delicious food.  They had some really sharp questions about wedding etiquette – but more importantly wedding guest etiquette.

Bernadette & Vlad’s concern was why with all the weddings that they had been to, why the wedding guests storm the alter where the wedding is at, cake cutting and other various special moments during the course of the wedding day.

This really opened up the floor for some terrific conversation and as I drove back to Huntington Beach from Laguna Beach that night, I really felt admonished to share my thoughts with you in a video.  I launched it on You Tube & Facebook, which sparked quite a few views and a lot of traffic.  So I thought I would share it here with you as well.

But before I present you with this wedding tip for guests about wedding etiquette and you’re thinking…  Hey – I’d really like to get to know this Orange County Wedding Photographer in Huntington Beach, California that wants to enjoy life to the fullest and share a toast with his couples celebrating a phenomenal day, feel free to get in touch with me anytime.

I’m available just about 24/7 via Twitter, Facebook, the form on my contact page, or the old fashioned phone as well at 888.ESQ.PHTO (888.377.7486) or 562.225.5915.

Without further ado, here is the video that I recorded that night.  I would love to hear your comments or suggestions as well – cheers!

With all the exciting photo shoots and events going on with Esquire Photography, like my next International Photography Workshop in London, England - it’s definitely an awesome 2012 so far.  And!  It’s only May!

I’m sure if you keep up with my blog, then you’re more than likely keeping up with my Twitter or Facebook updates, where you saw that I was in Downtown Fullerton photographing Monique & Cesar’s cousin; Tiffany for her totally epic Urban Seniour Portraits.

You probably remember Monique & Cesar because I photographed their Los Angeles Engagement Shoot at Union Station & The Edison and shortly after – photographed their La Habra Wedding & Reception at the Westridge Golf Club.  Along their personal events, I’ve had the honour of working with Monique and her Event Planning company; A Blissful Affair for Natalie’s Sweet 16 Party, their Dual Birthday Party & a more personal event for her and her family for Mike’s Celebration the day before before I left to teach my Workshop in Berlin, Germany.

So when I received a text message from Monique asking me if I was available for Tiffany’s Seniour Portraits, I couldn’t help but to say yes & start planning it.

Tiffany’s Urban Seniour Portrait Photo Shoot was in Downtown Fullerton was I was able to use all the textures, walls & scenery for her portraits. What was really unplanned for, but something that none of us could have even expected was when I was about to capture some photographs of Tiffany in front of a really awesome wall with a guitar on it and a guy came by to tell us the story of the wall.  As luck would have it, the wall is attached to the building where Fender Guitars was invented.  Can I say Wholly Nachos & Newcastles!

BUT!  Here’s the Twilight Zone part… Tiffany brought her acoustic guitar with her as a prop & here we were about to capture some portraits with her and this random wall which turned out to be a historical monument for Fender.  How cool is that!!!

That said, if you know what you want, you already love my photography & want to either have a great time at my London Workshop or are interested in me capturing photographs for your event or portraits…. then definitely contact this Newport Beach Wedding Photographer (Previously a Huntington Beach Wedding Photographer) who loves music & fashion, photography and art anytime.
