Can you guess what all these boxes mean and why we are so excited?

We are moving!!!! Our destination: San Mateo! We are happy about our move to a more central location and having a much bigger place. As soon as we’ll settle in we’ll be able to invite everyone over and expand our lines of albums, prints, and cool photographic products even further.

Our cat Tosha decided she’d be much better off living with Mike’s mom (who is much more responsive to Tosha’s constant begging for food) :) We’ll miss her a lot and promise to visit often!

We’re moving on Wednesday and Thursday of this week with the help of our friends (thanks so much guys!).

Stay tuned for fun pictures of the move!

If you’ve noticed a new banner on our main website during the last week, it’s because I’ve recently applied and got accepted into the Artistic Guild of the Wedding Photojournalist Association!

The [AG]WPJA is a subdivision of WPJA that focuses on photographers that excel in the art of post-production image processing. Acceptance is based on meeting and upholding the organization’s standards of originality and skill and includes strict guidelines for membership inclusion.

I feel lucky to be a part of a handful of California photographers that have been accepted into the [AG]WPJA. One of the benefits for members is the opportunity to enter the quarterly photography contests and have the images critiqued by some of the most talented and well known shooters in the industry. I can’t wait for a chance to enter some of the images I’ve created thanks to our amazing clients. Trophies, prizes, and awards are given to the top 10 selected images in a variety of categories.

We are always trying to learn something new and get inspired by a variety of great photographers. So when we heard a few months ago that Joe Buissink and Yervant are coming to Bay Area with their new workshop we got very excited!

Joe and Yervant are two of the most talented and successful wedding photographers in the world and are some of our biggest icons. In their workshop last Wednesday they explained the differences in their styles and that there is no right way to shoot, but that having a passion for what you do will yield in success.

The sold-out seminar had about a hundred local and not so local photographers for the duration of the 8 hour day. It was full of education, slideshows, and even a live Bride/Groom shoot in the courtyard of the hotel.

Shot with our point and shoot:

We had an amazing time and in addition to learning a ton we also enjoyed seeing old friends as well as meeting some new ones. You guys have to check out Joe and Yervant’s sites if you’d like to get inspired!
