Biography
... About the
photographer
We just love to
photograph weddings! Weddings are people at their
best - and we get to be almost a part of the
family for that day.
As a husband and wife team
we've "been there" ourselves. Together we help
a bride's photography and wedding day to
turn out great! It is an honor to assist on such a
special day.
During college Doug worked
as news photographer & photography editor in
Los Angeles. He photographed celebrities almost
every week, the highlight of which was getting to
have lunch with comedian Steve Allen. (Steve Allen
was like the Steve Martin of his
era.) In person Steve Allen was just a
"normal" person and a committed Christian. Doug was
not a believer at the time but had been astonished
by this celebrity's complete lack of a Hollywood
ego.
When Doug graduated UCLA
with a bachelor of arts degree, he started working
in Hollywood's motion picture industry. Today Doug
works out of Northern California with career
achievements in visual media, multi media, and
information technology.
Learning under
fire...
Some time ago Doug worked
for a wedding photography studio, observing the
successes and occasional catastrophes of other
staff photographers. He learned to work under
pressure (on ONE day he was assigned to photograph
FOUR different weddings in two different
counties...and succeeded!). And he learned what
shortcuts NOT to take because they could result in
failures.
When that studio closed
Doug continued to photograph weddings
independently. Today - two decades later, Doug is
among the most experienced independent wedding
photographers in Northern California.
Our style is easy
going, we work well with people, we honor
special requests, we keep cool under pressure, we
carry backup equipment, and take pictures that come
out great at every event.
And we look forward to the
opportunity of serving you!

Here we are at the
La
Brea Tar Pits,
April 2010. A good photographer will remain relaxed even
with monsters nearby!

Style
Our style is
75% photojournalistic. That's so we don't monopolize all
your time on the wedding day.
And 25% of
our style is "classic" inspired to capture family
members together in group photos.
Weddings are your best opportunity to get family portraits
taken.
Expertise
Our
technical mastery of photography gives us the confidence to
produce pictures that turn out well every time, even when
the unexpected happens.
Here's why
that's a good thing for you, the bride or
groom:
Digital
cameras have made it easy for new photographers to enter the
wedding photography field. Perhaps too easy. But if
something goes wrong --- a camera malfunction, or difficult
lighting --- will a less experienced shooter be able to
deliver the quality you expect?
Our two
decades of wedding experience means we have the skills to
deliver high quality, reliable results under every
circumstance.
