Good evening from Esquire Photography HQ everyone! I’m one Newport Beach Photographer who’s totally honoured to share a very special day with you.
As I’m sure you’re aware, I capture quite a few photographs around the world from; Engagement Shoots, Portraits, Celebrities and Events for some absolutely incredible clients. And, when I say a lot, I tend to capture between 325,000 & 375,000 photographs each year that are truly important & timeless to me and my clients.
Sometimes there are other types of photos that I capture.
Just over a week ago, Kristine’s Grandfather; Jay had passed on, and from what I’ve learned – he was quite an incredible man.
Plus, her Grandfather served his country in the US Navy and was also a fireman. To me, giving back to Kristine’s family for a man who gave so much more of his life was the least that I could do – by capturing some of the personal moments. Especially since quite a few people around the country were unable to attend.
Because this was a more intimate gathering of family & friends, I brought my Leica with me, which is considerably smaller than my Canon equipment and a LOT less intimidating. I also embraced all the newer tools at my disposal, capturing portraits & videos with my iPhone 5s & Google Glass.
What was really interesting & it didn’t hit me until I got back to EPHQ last night is that I was photographing & filming with nearly 60 years worth of technology. From a Leica & a lens built in 1956 to today’s technology in 2013 – it’s just really amazing how things have evolved & changed the way I can photograph life.
I could go on & on about the afternoon, but since one photograph contains a thousand words, I’m going to let you experience Jay’s Life Celebration with a beautiful slide show I’ve put together with a few of my favourite photographs from the day.
