Engagement photos are typically taken between few months to few weeks before your wedding day. Wondering who will take your engagement photos? We include a FREE engagement session as part of the selected wedding day packages, so you do not need to find another professional to pose for. In addition, we will also get to know you and find which poses work best for you, as well as learn what you like and dislike. In this way, the engagement session is a warm-up for the wedding day.
Please ask about our special one of a kind "Off the wall, On the wall" conversation art pieces that reflects your unique relationship and that will have your friends and family saying "That is so them...".

You would have few hours with us to capture some sexy and romantic images. A couture album or wax art piece would make as a great gift to your groom from this session!!!
Wedding Day Coverage
Long after the wedding day is over, the only material thing that remains years from now are the photographic memories preserved.
Invest in an artist, photography is for forever!!!
In almost every human life there are at least four major milestones: birth, marriage, birth of the first child and death. Your wedding photographer will have the privilege of being a witness and a historian on one of those four big days.
Your wedding is the most important event of your life, full of excitement, emotions, friends, family, and love. We try to capture all the tender moments of the day-the planned, the unplanned and the spontaneous-through the lens of our cameras.
Planning Session
We offer a planning session with both bride and groom, and if possible, with their parents as well. It is very important for us to know what the couple and their family are looking for. The results will reflect the work of a competent wedding photographer as well as a "friend of the bride."
If required, we will also pre visit the event location few days before the wedding to understand the lighting condition and start building the plan. We will walk around the interior, exterior, grounds, and any special nook and crannies we can find to familiarizing with the location and discover the places that will give the best, sometime most dramatic elements for composition.
Call our studio (510-870-0800) today to find how you can get a "FREE Engagement Session" from us!!!
On the day of wedding
We will arrive early enough to allow us sufficient time to start day smoothly. The usual sequence of events are:
- Bride Getting Ready
- Formal Portraits of Bride
- Arrival of Groom (East Indain Wedding)
- Formal Portraits of Groom
- Formal Portraits of Bride, Groom & Parents
- The Ceremony
- Group Portraits with family and friends
- Reception Party
We understand that the wedding is not only about bride & groom. The parents also played a big part in planning and preparation for this wedding day. We will also take the images that parent wants, extended families, grandparents, and godparents. We will take the group shots that are specials to the couples - friends from college, work buddies, childhood friends, and fraternity /sorority pals.
Recording the wedding event is NOT the only activity we perform. We will observe how mom and dads, wedding party members and guests reacts and capture those candid moments as well. For this reason, we strongly suggest to include a second photographer, to help cover the wedding, so you don't miss any important image.
If you'd like to have photos on the beach or other locations on your wedding day, we will gladly work with you.
Post Wedding
Long after the wedding day is over, the only material thing that remains years from now are the photographic memories preserved. We will artistically document your wedding day with pictures that will make you smile, laugh, cry, and remember.
Web proofing will allow guests and family from all over the country to see the images. We offer all three options:
- On-line proofing for distant viewing
- Limited time (usually two weeks) proofing CD (with slide show usually set to music), so you can preview the images at your own convenience
- Personal meeting with bride and groom, so either we can project the images on wall or on 23" Apple Cinema Display.
If you select Coffee Table Fine Art Book or Magazine Style Album option or interested to buy high quality prints from us, we will work with you in the picture selection process. Once we get a combination of your favorite images plus our selection of key pictures to make a complete story presentation, we will work on album design.
