What?!Hello everyone! I got some icky news from the tech team redesigning our blog. It's been hacked not once, but twice. Huh? Quite honestly, what poor schmoe has nothing better to do than spend time hacking into the blog of a photographer? Unless they really want to use some of the photos I've posted as their wallpaper...<br /><br />So until I get the word, I'm gonna lay a bit low on the blog. You can always follow me on twitter or facebook in the meantime.

It's because it's a great, no-stress, yes-fun way to really get to know how a couple interacts. How does he look at her? Does she giggle or full-on laugh at his jokes? Are they kissy or more reserved? In general, the more active a couple is with each other, the more evocative their images. So if a couple's more reserved, it's up to me to work with them in small ways to get a bit of interaction between them.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglxWnOEAWcGFCe6-c5_huQz3Z2AIj5qneGgNBBrUWDC_7kBlMgKBekcfUSgIKf27CI7dEdJWPDc5C7n3xqY_eEq_HaqbpxewzyqaJaUSXmg3IiOswwPpQ7qNWD7YLJQ9-rPppLUbNCs0VU/s1600-h/TiffJav2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglxWnOEAWcGFCe6-c5_huQz3Z2AIj5qneGgNBBrUWDC_7kBlMgKBekcfUSgIKf27CI7dEdJWPDc5C7n3xqY_eEq_HaqbpxewzyqaJaUSXmg3IiOswwPpQ7qNWD7YLJQ9-rPppLUbNCs0VU/s400/TiffJav2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342944763043600162" border="0" /></a>Their big day is this summer at <a href="http://www.stjosephcathedral.org/Home/">Cathedral Basilica of St. Josep</a><a href="http://www.stjosephcathedral.org/Home/">h</a> and the stunning <a href="http://www.nestldown.com/index.html">Nestldown</a>.

Ninja with a camera, gettin' all the moments, you know? And most of my couples agree - they hire me because they want as little fuss and muss when it comes to portraits, preferring to go through family portraits quickly and efficiently so that as much time as possible is spent on my candids. And they love that, even if we only have five minutes, we can still get some fun couple portraits and get them back to their party ASAP.<br /><br />But I've found over the last two years just how much fun I've been having with my bridal portraits. Yes, we're fast with the family shots, but if a bride and/or groom gives us plenty of time to shoot the two of them, I'll take it! :D Heck, I could shoot them all day!<br /><br />So when my friend Maria Chang of <a href="http://www.professionalmakeupartistry.com/">Professional Makeup Artistry</a> (yes, one of the best I've ever worked with!) teamed up with <a href="http://www.skogasinvogue.com/">Jen Skog</a> to offer couture boudoir portraits, I was intrigued. I'd met Jen briefly at <a href="http://www.unabellasera.com/">Una Bella Sera</a> at <a href="http://www.casarealevents.com/">Casa Real</a> and just loved her. And when I saw her boudoir site, I was floored. Couture most definitely! Jen has this amazing way of making every woman look like she should be a model and that you're reading a fashion magazine.<br /><br />But would I be comfortable shooting naked people? Eek!<br /><br />So I thought about it. And I talked with Maria and Jen when they both kindly and generously donated their time to Project Smile (see previous posts). They formed a partnership, offering styling and shooting to create these magical images. I thought about it a little more. Then I talked with another of my favorite stylists and Project Smile volunteer, Monina Wright of<a href="http://www.naturalimagesmakeup.com/"> Natural Images</a>. She'd been toying with boudoir, too!<br /><br />We came up with a unique approach, one that I couldn't find with other boudoir sites. And I most definitely wanted to leave the couture to Jen and Maria, since I'm convinced that Vogue should be begging Jen to shoot for them! I've always loved movies from the 30s through the late 40s - the cinematography has always blown me away, and that super saturated feel of the black and whites is what I strive for in my own work. Wow, what if we did a type of boudoir that was similar? And what if it told a bit of a story, too? I knew I wasn't into the "show it all" style I'd been seeing, but more of the suggestive style, like they did in the 30s and 40s, but with a more contemporary twist.<br /><br />And no way was I only going to shoot women. I really wanted men to want to do these, too! I would LOVE to see my hubby looking dapper like Cary Grant, with a starched shirt undone and his hair slicked, looking like the most fascinating and sexy man ever. So I bet there are tons of other ladies out there that would want this for their birthday/anniversary/holiday/groom's gift.<br /><br />So Monina and I decided to go for it. And with a very generous gift of the penthouse suite at the beautiful <a href="http://www.pruneyardinn.com/">PruneYard Plaza Hotel</a> for the day (have you seen this place? It's gorgeous!), we asked my couples past and present if they'd like to be involved. The response was amazing! We actually had to turn a few away. Wow, were we onto something?<br /><br />So Friday the 1st, Monina and I started at 9 am and didn't stop until 9 pm. Whew! Monina and I talked with each person or couple, thinking about the style that they most represented. One of my clients looked unbelievably sexy when she smiled, but the one right after her looked so much sexier when she didn't. I had clothes and lingerie and hats and jewelry - the jewelry! Monina's friend Bonnie Harper of <a href="http://www.one-world-designs.com/">One World Designs</a> showed up with piles of the coolest bridal and costume jewelry. There were rhinestone edged blushers, and feather hair clips, and pearls and gleaming glam and we could use whatever we wanted. Yay, Bonnie!<br /><br />But what really made me smile was how FUN everyone made it. They brought bags full of things, one guy even went as far as doing a full on shopping spree the week before. Nice! It was like a big costume event, with a lot of goofy fun and some sexy thrown in here and there. We had upbeat music going, and my assistant Jen, who is just as much of a goofball as I am, would be boppin' to the music while holding reflectors or adjusting backdrops.<br /><br />So here's a taste of what we were able to get. Most are body parts until we get full permission - no way I'll post faces until I get an okay from my clients, ya know? ::grin:: PLEASE, tell me what you think, either by email or post it here on the blog. Is this something you'd do? And what would you do with the images? Right now we're thinking that a "pillow talk" book would come with each shoot...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvXoGBU-vQuLeFCaR863cb5YazNiVIE0Jwf-noZIVnc1UirZIY7cbb6dHLPA3nY1PyVuurkWJWDNPVEmmy5P9Xr87OtxqQ43iTOgTgnly8XzNOLw5rNVb6UJqaj1Pg5NsjwOg8BGtTjOLO/s1600-h/RheeOrig1794-Edit-Edit.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

I fell in love with Amanda & Zech last winter, when I discovered that they were up for shooting in the cold winter rain for their engagement session. And talk about being crazy about each other. Wow! </span><span style="font-family:verdana;"><br /><br />So when the wedding day came, and I realized that their families were just as special and wonderful as they were, well, I covered the wedding more like Amanda's big sister and Zech's favorite aunt. I think there's even a shot that Kelvin got of the big hug Zech and I gave each other when he arrived at the </span><a style="font-family: verdana;" href="http://www.palmeventcenter.com/">Palm Event Center</a><span style="font-family:verdana;">!</span><span style="font-family:verdana;"><br /><br />Two of my favorite moments, and an extra one that I didn't see until I started doing the post production:</span><br /><br /></span><ol><li><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">The one I didn't see was Zech's face when he saw Amanda coming down the aisle. Yay Kelvin for catching that while I was with her and her dad as they came up the aisle!</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">The ball and chain. A big tradition in Zech's family - he had to do a lap around the Palm Event Center (and that's not a small place!) with a bowling ball shackled to his leg. Yeowch.</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><a style="font-family: verdana;" href="http://www.taintedlove.com/">Tained Love. </a><span style="font-family:verdana;"> I'm lucky, I've gotten to hear them now twice in 6 months! I think the guitarist recognized me this time. If you haven't heard them, it will make you think twice about how vital good entertainment, be it DJ or band, is to a wedding reception. You could even ask Amanda's dad - the band was an extra special treat for the newlyweds! Yep, he's that awesome of a dad...</span></span></li></ol><span style="font-family:verdana;">Kelvin and I really do have the best job in the world. And the best couples. I'd put my couples up against anyone, anyday! Down to earth, funny, sweet, and of course, gorgeous inside and out. Congrats you two!<br /></span><br /><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" id="showit_swf" data="http://www.rheebeverephoto.com/shows/AmandaZechSlideshow/showit.swf" height="266" width="400"><param name="movie" value="http://www.rheebeverephoto.com/shows/AmandaZechSlideshow/showit.swf"><param name="flashvars" value="showit_embed=http://www.rheebeverephoto.com/shows/AmandaZechSlideshow/|400|266|1|1|0"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><param name="salign" value="LT"><param name="menu" value="false"><param name="loop" value="false"><param name="quality" value="best"><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000"></object>Rhee Beverehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06556637715058915199noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3120165399759576437.post-34135076119045605692009-05-05T18:34:00.001-07:002009-05-05T18:53:48.940-07:00Yay for Amanda & Zech!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ47Avi97z1FG9jpqWngRnXKWhSfZktwoMr6kuoHwxu_zdUOWoAdaGwmpRvGPGzV8e_HjoPNl69P1RFKyWVhLMtdgwliGSxyOxpgWwqS2VSbo5ZYD4xOr1zdeYVfFHMWvy2SyzQe8o6v4Q/s1600-h/Slideshow_063.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Some of my very favorite vendors, from styling to cakes to yes, other photographers, will be there to say hi and answer questions. We'll be milling about just like you so that you don't feel funny about going up to a booth.<br /><br />The highlight of the whole day is the amazing decor and table designs by Nicole Ha (floral design) and Amazae Special Events' Crystal LeQuang (event designer and planner). They're the masterminds behind the show and dang, if they aren't two very talented people.<br /><br />Here's a link to the site - you must register and soon! - <a href="http://www.unabellasera.com">www.unabellasera.com</a>.

No really! I want to get to know my couples, and for them to get to know me. I'm a total goofball! Perfect example - today with Silvia and Danny, I actually squished my face in to show what happens when you pose cheek to cheek without pulling away a bit.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiww2zbWVeYpQ3NmZBdxKWbsoYXcgGMrwjwWUE6EEeR8OHnkoWXSF6yAJWySLZF_MuZLX5XBQt9khxvaJkctZX-jUHGRIu8vCOMd58opJ42KUugtq-mzwgG_soqDEDikVZP0byLXn2F3n3-/s1600-h/0057.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiww2zbWVeYpQ3NmZBdxKWbsoYXcgGMrwjwWUE6EEeR8OHnkoWXSF6yAJWySLZF_MuZLX5XBQt9khxvaJkctZX-jUHGRIu8vCOMd58opJ42KUugtq-mzwgG_soqDEDikVZP0byLXn2F3n3-/s400/0057.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322074028389360402" border="0" /></a>(Speaking of Silvia & Danny...this is him trying to kiss her and she's not letting him! Fun!)<br /><br />Portrait sessions are hard! They're scary and intimidating and you want your images to look good but you don't want to "model up" and where the heck do you look, right? So by getting my couples comfy with me, with each other and most importantly, with my big a@@ camera, within 20 minutes it starts to get fun. But those first 20 minutes can be a little unsettling.<br /><br />Some of the comments I might get back are, "this kinda feels weird" or "really, lean over that much?" or "what the heck do you mean like a turtle?"<br /><br />I thought that maybe I'd share with the three people who read this blog (grin) what goes into a few of the shots. First, the story, then the photo.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvQ3hKOxHSjx_oQE8Fy88egamtzKBwtOKsxfK6AMLQJXIoRM9XCGmKlTMjkuyoPi5MSMy6n-UeWP8nFNx3qPW1Aj1-kA2FZdXgeQMqZ0LnjcoX-_K1cWkdQy2dto2UHYpml2XWs4IW4g7Y/s1600-h/0049R_WEB.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvQ3hKOxHSjx_oQE8Fy88egamtzKBwtOKsxfK6AMLQJXIoRM9XCGmKlTMjkuyoPi5MSMy6n-UeWP8nFNx3qPW1Aj1-kA2FZdXgeQMqZ0LnjcoX-_K1cWkdQy2dto2UHYpml2XWs4IW4g7Y/s400/0049R_WEB.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322069840802692290" border="0" /></a><br />Melanie and Mike and I were wandering around Santana Row when I gasped. "Oh my gosh, this is awesome! Can you two lean down all the way to me?" Yeah, they felt really stupid, but I was able to lie on the ground (almost) and get the sillouette of the M on the building behind them.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhibLVJNOLj77oTwNeZfeJ1qB8c6s-vyus4vIkjd-fmEq2G1_bNR0EAl5FDAoHhyphenhyphen3CiKvBul91tQNesJVP2u37tTx2LaFXbalavMbQBgVF9zjedghzJWsyZNqdfGrb-_tVVxPYWMHUu4ikp/s1600-h/ConcannonWinery038.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhibLVJNOLj77oTwNeZfeJ1qB8c6s-vyus4vIkjd-fmEq2G1_bNR0EAl5FDAoHhyphenhyphen3CiKvBul91tQNesJVP2u37tTx2LaFXbalavMbQBgVF9zjedghzJWsyZNqdfGrb-_tVVxPYWMHUu4ikp/s400/ConcannonWinery038.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322070594664805666" border="0" /></a>I love this shot.

I told them I wanted to see a little passion, and showed Melanie exactly where to put her back against the wall, and Mike I told to get as close as he could with his face - then just...just..just touch a tiny bit. Steamy!<br /><br />So what to remember during the portrait session? If you like the work they do, then trust your photographer. Yeah, he or she may have you doing some of the weirdest things, but it'll look yummy. :DRhee Beverehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06556637715058915199noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3120165399759576437.post-81250880201011222502009-03-19T17:06:00.000-07:002009-03-19T17:30:10.097-07:00In honor of Caitlin & Steven's Big Day...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNKQqv6oueCFx66M5dD6NvgObhAJ3QyhTjZf3fJyRudO_anukgc-fKG3J4Lguz9yrCfunCBzY1eTbtkZ0XN9m9VBDNhdMF3BIb5EGNYzA3CqKS-06qvfsQzl64N6VpC1N41lOedSGntmXV/s1600-h/0060.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNKQqv6oueCFx66M5dD6NvgObhAJ3QyhTjZf3fJyRudO_anukgc-fKG3J4Lguz9yrCfunCBzY1eTbtkZ0XN9m9VBDNhdMF3BIb5EGNYzA3CqKS-06qvfsQzl64N6VpC1N41lOedSGntmXV/s400/0060.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315057246330093634" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9NIXb_UAUcM-Uqjq-ID7aZQmE0JPRu_A2ozra_HfLs6laLEqGbc5DEE-2p4oQekhRy862d27exCiaYirpM9GkCV617PahE62C7f67isF2HDg2PzWqAie2Blafa-ZS3uuQGAT4j_YdzQZo/s1600-h/0037.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9NIXb_UAUcM-Uqjq-ID7aZQmE0JPRu_A2ozra_HfLs6laLEqGbc5DEE-2p4oQekhRy862d27exCiaYirpM9GkCV617PahE62C7f67isF2HDg2PzWqAie2Blafa-ZS3uuQGAT4j_YdzQZo/s400/0037.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315057248869751858" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9UmyQIma_rzSjebTNruE7mk19DTBHeSy5KNoZ-S8Hjok_hVi0LjRiCHaZ9059Dl6R81VCBcnamZt7iH9wVsSKNieREz_XlZSySY9KyC9_jEWpW6O9aKDrt0Ygzqv6wfzhusuNOck2YLFH/s1600-h/0094.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9UmyQIma_rzSjebTNruE7mk19DTBHeSy5KNoZ-S8Hjok_hVi0LjRiCHaZ9059Dl6R81VCBcnamZt7iH9wVsSKNieREz_XlZSySY9KyC9_jEWpW6O9aKDrt0Ygzqv6wfzhusuNOck2YLFH/s400/0094.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315057239834781090" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPLuF0aAkgNC4dSHey7cal0XxKD_DtsqEy3TYnGyo9wHqM7ti2VtoM6DPZvh4MN0QfcEfaAXArIIeVmS5dfPD8otx14T60PuxtghT1keZqdIaR3suN7jj4MVUqZLX-I-nQcyElzEz4Aum0/s1600-h/0124.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPLuF0aAkgNC4dSHey7cal0XxKD_DtsqEy3TYnGyo9wHqM7ti2VtoM6DPZvh4MN0QfcEfaAXArIIeVmS5dfPD8otx14T60PuxtghT1keZqdIaR3suN7jj4MVUqZLX-I-nQcyElzEz4Aum0/s400/0124.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315055687217678754" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIx5Rp-mmDEBpKRT6a4cb8M_TiY20mGA2vMLEoi5R5FKpy32mk1OUCLnjTdVW83lUzrACvhxvumdJi_YTH6LVYHKTIbyW_y7sV0yVv-W6kVTCBnZJNPqxCRb2xywleswmI0obbBwylB-8S/s1600-h/0141.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIx5Rp-mmDEBpKRT6a4cb8M_TiY20mGA2vMLEoi5R5FKpy32mk1OUCLnjTdVW83lUzrACvhxvumdJi_YTH6LVYHKTIbyW_y7sV0yVv-W6kVTCBnZJNPqxCRb2xywleswmI0obbBwylB-8S/s400/0141.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315055681797955794" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1SnFxi2WL2w06TEA9w7Ksyert3P6K2J4ibhMFLPj0SPUmDQ3KVH9UWp9kKHg7emFz6eWakEODpI-Dg-do2hV919oh2-D8K_Gv2h5VzPG1x7oFW1h2pTJh_MJg2-VwVXcCD4-yRCIyU9E6/s1600-h/0148.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1SnFxi2WL2w06TEA9w7Ksyert3P6K2J4ibhMFLPj0SPUmDQ3KVH9UWp9kKHg7emFz6eWakEODpI-Dg-do2hV919oh2-D8K_Gv2h5VzPG1x7oFW1h2pTJh_MJg2-VwVXcCD4-yRCIyU9E6/s400/0148.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315055674094134130" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />These were done in the cold rain here at the PruneYard and yep, we had an awesome time!<br />Proof that you don't need trees and pretty-pretty in the background (or even daylight) to get some fun and emotive engagement session images!

Seriously! We were there for maybe two hours just talking about his hopes in the photo biz (he's a relatively new pro, talented and very humble) and her hopes for the new baby they were about to have. Would her name be Eva? Gianna? They weren't sure and knew that they should wait to meet her before they named her.<br /><br />Eva arrived just days afterwards, and I asked if I could be one of the first (besides Daddy of course) to get my camera on her. They were SO polite to say yes - new babies are just exhausting! But I remember how eternally grateful I was when my friend and pro Angela asked if she could take a family photo of us when Donovan was just a few weeks old, knowing that we working photogs just never seem to focus on our OWN families! I knew Alex was having a great time getting lots of shots of his two lovely ladies, but none of the three of them.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHPR3Dca4t46TskNzbloj7UE0bPdkFubOqu5WiJasIn0GVzSCSasEMtYwEp1JOSEFTNjker-V_RSiUkLj828ibIcETWoIF_1_SXtOQooUAfnNzk35mpVuPgH82Ep-JpeMc-rvAhsI5ycAZ/s1600-h/0004.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHPR3Dca4t46TskNzbloj7UE0bPdkFubOqu5WiJasIn0GVzSCSasEMtYwEp1JOSEFTNjker-V_RSiUkLj828ibIcETWoIF_1_SXtOQooUAfnNzk35mpVuPgH82Ep-JpeMc-rvAhsI5ycAZ/s400/0004.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309521445481131842" border="0" /></a><br />So I headed over right after the Sunday Pronovias show and couldn't wait to meet her.

Fun! Thought I'd show you a few highlights. The silver dress is one of my favorites! See the detail of the front three images up? The Enzoani representative Mary told us that the roses took 4 weeks to make! There's another Enzoani show tomorrow at 11, and next week it's Pronovias.

Trudy of Trudy's Brides asked if I'd like to join them for their two upcoming trunk shows. We were thinking it would be a blast if we took shots of brides trying on the designer gowns while the designer or their rep is RIGHT THERE! Talk about high fashion, huh?<br /><br />So it all kicks off this weekend (Saturday the 21st) at 9 am, with a fashion show of design house <a href="http://www.enzoani.com/">Enzoani</a>, with the trunks open and showing after the show, and another fashion show at 11 on Sunday the 22nd.<br /><br />Next weekend, it's <a href="http://www.pronovias.com/">Pronovias of Spain</a> (Saturday the 28th), same time for the shows. (My fave dress in this year's collection is Ronda. Wow!)<br /><br />On both Saturdays, I'll be there for the show, and then afterwards until 2 p.m. taking photos of brides with the designers or their representatives as they try on dresses. On Sunday, I'll be there from 10 am until 2. Hey, maybe you'll find "the one!"<br /><br />Everyone who comes to say hi and sign up for more info, we'll enter your name into a drawing for a beautiful 8x12 guestbook, with lots of room to mount your engagement session images and for your guests to leave special messages on your wedding day. And of course, we'll be sending you the images of you in those designer dresses, ready to post on Facebook or your wedding website.<br /><br />Here's the kicker - seating for the show is LIMITED so call ASAP. Have a great Friday and hope to see you these next two weekends at Trudy's!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.trudysbrides.com/Wedding-Dresses.asp">Trudy's</a> is in the PruneYard Shopping Center, 1875 S Bascom Avenue in Campbell, and their phone number is 408-377-1987.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTDkHo1WoXS86ESfPs1f-F7WyGh5Al_tG70xbbPT8Eb3xJh7L_vfBIWCqESkUlTgUWkOQeKWHPdMslbxZ2TCmDmbGB-4xnkCTOLCBWArtxUpi_yltvzrBrbwa4qqZhL32B2jD8fYBhyBrs/s1600-h/TB_TRUNKSHOW.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 309px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTDkHo1WoXS86ESfPs1f-F7WyGh5Al_tG70xbbPT8Eb3xJh7L_vfBIWCqESkUlTgUWkOQeKWHPdMslbxZ2TCmDmbGB-4xnkCTOLCBWArtxUpi_yltvzrBrbwa4qqZhL32B2jD8fYBhyBrs/s400/TB_TRUNKSHOW.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304953273107942866" border="0" /></a>Rhee Beverehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06556637715058915199noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3120165399759576437.post-51633232087042375602009-01-29T17:31:00.000-08:002009-01-29T18:05:13.788-08:00Q&A: What the heck does retouching mean?So I have to be honest, I think every single photographer has a different definition of what retouching is. For some, even color correction means it's been retouched. For others, it means at least an hour smoothing and plumping or slimming or...you get the idea.<br /><br />For me, because we both shoot in RAW, we have to do a little touching, be it "re" or not. Our first "touch" is a quick pass of editing down. That's culling through about 2300 images for an average sized, average event filled day (of course, fewer guests and only having toasts will cut that down a bit!). We aim for 1500 and are thrilled when we have about 1300 to share with the bride and groom.<br /><br />Next is basic cropping and color correction, which for us is done before our couples ever see their images. It's also when we pick our favorites, and mark anything we think we'd like to enter into contests through <a href="http://www.wpja.com/">WPJA</a>, which forbids any work done on any image submitted. From here, we also decide if images should stay in color, or try different effects, B&W, sepia, cross-processing, etc. We might edit down further, or toss a few that may have sneaked in on the first round.<br /><br />From here, I do a little bit more of the artsy effects on some of my faves, then they're put into a story order, categorized, renumbered, and converted to JPGs. From here, we upload them to our online proof site, <a href="http://www.pictage.com/">Pictage</a>, for viewing by our newlyweds!<br /><br />For us, all of the above is NOT considered retouching. It's what everyone gets, and we know that we'd be proud to have our name on it if your guests or your mom decide to buy a print from Pictage.<br /><br />But - it ain't retouching. It's not a custom art piece. And it certainly is not ready for me to put in your album.<br /><br />For us, retouching is when we pay special attention to details either by removing what detracts from the image, or enhancing what makes the image special. Sometimes it takes minutes, but with the one I just finished for my '07 couple Jen & Bill's album, it could take a whole hour!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSnyyoxQkQG481MxS9IROvm3MkWo92ZXAnUqgdrsPaUcTX4rvrrNg0TXeGAMK6OaiyIHpuAHQBlLt9GtWzC56QzBrgdFGATl3tjtWDI231T1W-Q0MAOxdDgeRQfv12_4EEB3_xczoHw-3x/s1600-h/0101w.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSnyyoxQkQG481MxS9IROvm3MkWo92ZXAnUqgdrsPaUcTX4rvrrNg0TXeGAMK6OaiyIHpuAHQBlLt9GtWzC56QzBrgdFGATl3tjtWDI231T1W-Q0MAOxdDgeRQfv12_4EEB3_xczoHw-3x/s400/0101w.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296901664574977602" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The first image is beautiful as is - her dress was stunning, the light was gorgeous. And that hair! It needed a few things to really make it art. I removed the ceiling lights, the ruined carpet, the mess to her left, pumped up the detailing on her dress, softened the edges, increased the warm saturation, and it's now ready to go on their wall or in their album. THAT is retouching. :D<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjihLDVuhPJg4a9PenSCZdjkHkUcoK8aACjE5EAIbGi8JSWb4W4t7x0fjF7SiEQw6KHpkerYnKqwpqqULABMKfjigkwnwhgWvMv2P6S9v7VpRBDJ0cGJSWYDfYh-tMXHBcHxJI5JoWhAKr/s1600-h/0101rW.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjihLDVuhPJg4a9PenSCZdjkHkUcoK8aACjE5EAIbGi8JSWb4W4t7x0fjF7SiEQw6KHpkerYnKqwpqqULABMKfjigkwnwhgWvMv2P6S9v7VpRBDJ0cGJSWYDfYh-tMXHBcHxJI5JoWhAKr/s400/0101rW.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296901660173291282" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Every album we do includes all custom retouching for the images, so our albums do take a bit longer. But our clients thankfully don't mind the wait! I have the best couples...<br /><br />So there you have it. Now, when you ask about "just five hours" on your wedding day, you'll know that your photographer will spend much much more than just five hours on your wedding. But then, a life changing event like that deserves that kind of attention!<br /><br />Until next time...Rhee Beverehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06556637715058915199noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3120165399759576437.post-26819628839606888352009-01-23T14:34:00.000-08:002009-01-28T17:36:04.166-08:00Hey, whatcha workin' on?

Well, the new year began, it's raining softly outside, and I'm busy creating albums for my clients. What an amazing time!<br />But I realized that I had really slacked off on accomplishing what I really wanted to do with this blog, which is helping couples with little things here or there about weddings and wedding planning and wedding photography that they might not get from friends or magazines. After all, I see and experience a LOT of weddings.<br />I've talked earlier about the vital components to a fantastic wedding experience - the planner, the person officiating, and the master of ceremonies. Think about it - you're not planning a big party, you're planning a chance for ALL of your favorite people, most of whom haven't even met before, to help you celebrate a huge milestone. And while you're both the honored guests, you should be just that - guests. The planner (or coordinator, but that's another blog) is the host, the one who runs the show and makes sure that all YOU have to do is show up. The officiant is the one whose job it is to bring your guests into your ceremony and make them feel like they're participating rather than just, well, sitting there. And the master of ceremonies is the one who can read, anticipate, and guide the party fluidly and flawlessly from one part to the next. SO vital!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjg1zAgGKQgYAZaSdGX_YlcOEU-7Z78_nE7YMX0p5d91vxxhMTC1gdGiHh3MYsRFVTV6E1WHspKSV4D7_kHn0ClZCKBMHSPuJ9ULTau3cv2qrC_lZIJLNmPDy9gaMEmfc5XaFnKWAeyrNE/s1600-h/Picture+27.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjg1zAgGKQgYAZaSdGX_YlcOEU-7Z78_nE7YMX0p5d91vxxhMTC1gdGiHh3MYsRFVTV6E1WHspKSV4D7_kHn0ClZCKBMHSPuJ9ULTau3cv2qrC_lZIJLNmPDy9gaMEmfc5XaFnKWAeyrNE/s400/Picture+27.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295834721875931426" border="0" /></a><br />What I'd like to focus on with this blog is the person who actually marries you. In a way, the officiate is indeed the master of ceremonies for YOUR ceremony. It's up to him or her to bring the audience in so that they feel like they're participating a bit - or keep the focus all about the two of you and treat your guests more as an audience. You should consider how YOU want the ceremony and if there's a way to influence it, get your wants known.<br />Here are some things to consider when finding the right wedding officiate:<br /><br />How involved should your guests be?<br />Maybe you're NOT looking forward to saying your vows in front of everyone. Maybe you'd rather be facing your guests than your officiant. Maybe you'd like to share the experience with your guests. Or maybe you just want someone to say, "Do you? and you?" and be done with it!<br />Whatever it is, discuss it with each other first, then find someone who fits the bill.<br /><br />How do you know them?<br />If it's the parish priest and you don't get a choice, so be it. But then it's on your shoulders to be as open and candid with the priest or pastor to get to know you two a little bit. By knowing a little about you, it can only bring a little personalization to what can be a very rote ceremony. I've seen absolutely fantastic Catholic wedding masses because the priests knew the couple, or saw one of them grow up, and could engage the audience with bits <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkaoB2Py4Ma-Eu2qbsvyYq3UJ3CnsPYzPDbcztDHAxqoHMyJ9s0C8_HfN4YzEVCKKBYt_MnxYN1k4aEMGmsr0SllstmzUzdMzk5VXV_dpIFWuxTig8_PaxnZCdKQz7uHq0S1Iw_YkvjFOB/s1600-h/0436.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 265px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkaoB2Py4Ma-Eu2qbsvyYq3UJ3CnsPYzPDbcztDHAxqoHMyJ9s0C8_HfN4YzEVCKKBYt_MnxYN1k4aEMGmsr0SllstmzUzdMzk5VXV_dpIFWuxTig8_PaxnZCdKQz7uHq0S1Iw_YkvjFOB/s400/0436.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296522486769478850" border="0" /></a>and pieces of their lives.<br /><br />And while we're talking about officiants...<br />Keep in mind that any rules your officiant has for photography must agree with your own wishes. So find out those rules before you book them, or their church. You don't want to find out after your wedding that two minutes before the wedding, the officiant said no photos were allowed in the center aisle. And yes, that's happened to me before - even at an OUTDOOR wedding! So find out what those rules are and if you don't like them, speak up.<br /><br />Cheers!<br />RheeRhee Beverehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06556637715058915199noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3120165399759576437.post-8608058289037152442009-01-13T13:45:00.001-08:002009-01-13T14:14:17.088-08:00The Corinthian Event Center - Can you say ROMANTIC?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiINNVPPRIkZPSs0f826QyCQ8SoaGPT-1oH9yT5AeXVGcq5_MTenmXJl2tN3x4nkTiehFXkBqK2LKgYPZq6TEHbltLha8G94Xbi8OqFGMhPCDQNz0Kaq9yRUeJHJgkTwxCr8VXAWfru98tJ/s1600-h/corinthian.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 518px; height: 258px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiINNVPPRIkZPSs0f826QyCQ8SoaGPT-1oH9yT5AeXVGcq5_MTenmXJl2tN3x4nkTiehFXkBqK2LKgYPZq6TEHbltLha8G94Xbi8OqFGMhPCDQNz0Kaq9yRUeJHJgkTwxCr8VXAWfru98tJ/s400/corinthian.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290898320336718962" border="0" /></a><br />I'm working on Betsy & Quintin's changes for their 14x14 Fine Art flushmount album.
