The final day has come for Steve and Janet’s wedding in Monterey. As you remember, I photographed their engagement session last June.

It was an hour drive from San Jose to get to Monterey. This was my last wedding for the season. What else can I ask for when the party is taking place in one of the most beautiful area in California. Not only that, the ceremony was located in a historically church – Mission San Carlos (if you want to long offical name: San Car

Wedding Album Design – San Jose

I finally finished an album design that is way overdue. Thankfully, the mother of the bride is pretty much saying to not rush it since she wants something really nice to have for a memento of her daughter’s wedding. It took me awhile to do it since I am often not satisfied with the first or second drafts. Also, I put it aside and come back to it when I’m all refreshed.

This Filipino wedding was photograph sometime this year in Monterey, California.

Save The Date Cards

Hello. I am a wedding photographers in the San Jose, San Francisco, Oakland, Monterey, and the rest of Bay Area. I offer save the date the card with any client that includes engagement session with me. Save the Date Cards, also known as STD, are a good way to tell your friends and families when you will get married in advance of the actual wedding invitation. I offer cards or save the date magnet cards. The STD magnet cards are a good way to send your potential guess so that they can stick it up on there fridge. STD cards are usually opened and put away somewhere safe, never to be seen. However, a magnet on a fridge will remind them of your wedding date on a daily basis.

There are many factors that need to be considered when it comes time to plan your wedding. Weddings can be viewed as one big party celebrating the unity of two people madly in love. Weddings can also be difficult to plan as they take a lot of work, time, and effort on the part of the bride and groom, as well as their families. While every aspect and detail dealing with planning the big day is important, one of the most important and critical tasks is making sure all of your family and friends are able to attend.

Filipino Wedding Photographers

Wedding Photography – Why having a cheap wedding photographer is not so cheap at the end.

“Unfortunately, I cannot recommend Br*****d Sh****d’s wedding p

Poor Customer Service-Cheap San Francisco Wedding Photographer

Wedding Photography – Poor Customer Service

I have been looking at other photographer’s review and found this online. Apparently, the San Francisco wedding photographers in question are not answering their customer’s correspondents. Late delivering albums and other products is definitely not a good sign of customer service. One reason why I keep my wedding photography in San Francisco – San Jose – Oakland – Monterey area to 30 wedding a year so that I can deliver a quality service. Unfortunately, there are so many photographers out there practically giving away their services that everybody budget conscious brides and grooms are booking with them.

If you are a bride or a groom looking for a photographer, the initially communication should give you a clue. The wedding photographers should respond within 24 hrs to 36 hours of your email or less than 24hours for a phone call. If they have not called or emailed you for more than the specified time, then most likely it will be worse once you sign the contract since they got you on the hook already. To be honest, most photographers are honest and they love what they do. Unfortunately, no everyone is honest so you just have to be watchful.

Furthermore, tell your San Jose wedding photographer – portrait photographer how you want
