Surprise Engagement Drone Video and Photography in Pacific Grove with Tim and Anna and Goose
This surprise engagement drone flight and photo shoot was long in the works. Tim first contacted me a few months ago when we started discussing locations and ideas for how to pull off this surprise! The location Tim chose, I knew very well since I walk the Pacific Grove coast often myself. I knew exactly where the spot was he showed me in just one reference photo! With the location decided, then how to capture the candid engagement moment? Tim ultimately chose for the actual real, candid moment to be recorded with drone video (see the above video). I got there early with my assistant, Felix, and was in position with the drone already in the air so I could capture their walk up and approach to the coastline. Tim told me he stoop down and pick up three shells, and the third would have the ring hidden under it, so that was my signal. Being as discrete as possible I had the drone hovering near the couple, and as I saw him make his move, I slowly brought the drone in closer and closer until you can see in the video Goose started barking at it, but by that time I had already recorded the actual proposal moment!
Christina had a 5-star headshot experience at my photo studio in Pacific Grove California
I welcome headshots clients to my photography studio in Pacific Grove, California to have a relaxed, and even fun photo session experience. Christina sent example headshots that were helpful in me preparing the studio before she even arrived so when she did, all was ready to go to make headshots that matched the examples, but still with my own signature style and quality. This in turn allowed Christina to get headshots she liked so much she gave the photo session a 5 star review (see below) and it also did not take up up more than 15 minutes of her time. Thank you Christina for the kind review and for choosing me as your headshot photographer!
Return to this Carmel California Airbnb for more professional photography!
I first had the opportunity to photograph this amazing Airbnb vacation rental in Carmel, California in April of this year (first shoot). Since that shoot, owner and designer Melissa has been busy finishing up the outdoor spaces and further improving some of the interior spaces. So I took my camera back to Torres St and again worked closely just like last time with Melissas getting the exact angles and views of the spaces she envisioned in her scouting photography plan. I am happy to work closely with clients like this bringing what they see to life in photos for their Airbnb properties. Thank you Melissa for continuing to choose me as your Airbnb photographer!
Surprise engagement photography at Point Lobos Park in Carmel California
Irving contacted me asking about using Hidden Beach in Point Lobos State Park as the location for a surprise engagement photo shoot. Hidden Beach itself may be hidden, but it’s a very small beach with not really any place for a photographer to hide, but I did my best to keep the element of surprise when Irving arrived with Marissa and the ring came out! After Irving proposed, and Marissa accepted, we did some posed shots using my unique style of off camera lighting. After the beach, we went up on the nearby bluff for a different meadow and ocean background. Thank you Iriving for choosing me as your photographer and congratulations to you and Marissa!
Airbnb in Seaside stands out with professional photography
Leo contacted me about getting updated professional photography for his updated Airbnb listing in Seaside, California. I visited the property for daylight photos and later returned to get twilight photos featuring the two fire pits the property offers guests.
Making one of my favorite headshots of the year so far
Lindsey visited the JCP Home Studio coming right from a professional makeup artist. The experience did not go quite as expected, but I assured her we could still get great headshots, and from the photos, you can see that we did! Lindsey generously shared her experience in a 5-star review. It is my goal with all of my photo shoots to make it a 5-star experience for every client. Thank you Lindsey for choosing me as your headshot photographer and for what turned out to be some of my favorite headshots of the year!
Carolynn was visiting Albuquerque from the midwest taking acting lessons here. She contacted me about making actor headshots for her during her visit and I am very glad that the timing worked out because I am thrilled with the results we were able to make in just a one hour headshot session. Shooting tethered allowed us to get the exact look in real time that Carolynn wanted for each wardrobe change. We also dialed in her own custom color background that make her headshots unique. It was great working in partnership with Carolynn on crafting these headshots getting every detail just right. Thank you Carolynn for choosing me as your headshot photographer and for the fantastic 5 star review on Google!
