I have been so excited to post this wedding but I had to wait as I was in Yosemite backpacking, which was amazing by the way, and when I get my film back I will show you.  I met with Jaclyn and Tyler last year when they asked me to be there wedding photographer.  I was so excited with these two when I met them.  They have such an amazing love for each other and I just like hanging out with them.  There wedding day could not have been better. filled with love, laughter and fun.  I thought it was great that they entered the reception with the song "Ball and Chain" from Social Distortion.  Hope you both are loving Tahiti.

You guys remember Christy and Jared from there awesome engagement session in Yosemtie.  I have been so excited for this wedding since they booked me over a year ago.  There is something really unique about Christy and Jared and the love they have for each other.  I care so much about portraits so we had three different portrait session with them and I can not be more excited about how they look.  The romance and passion is what I really wanted to capture between these two.  I nailed it!!

They had such a beautiful wedding and it went off without a hitch thanks to the girls King Dahl Event Design.  

Thank you again Christy and Jared for an amazing day!!

I have to admit that film is my favorite medium to shoot on, and I am pretty sure that it is evident from my branding and all the posts I do on film.  These are just some random shots from some film I have shot over the last few months.  The first shot of me was taken by Eliesa from Photogen Inc in MN.  Others are from Vegas and the dessert and a few from a wedding back in March.

For those who want to know what I was shooting
Ilford 3200
Fuji Neopan 400 B/W

I am sure that you can tell which is which!

I love when my brides have such a clear vision of how they want there engagement sessions to go!!  Heather and Andrew when they met with me new exactly what they wanted and that is what we did.  Heather has a friend with this awesome 67 VW bus who let us use it as a prop to shoot their session and I am so happy with how they turned out.  Heather and Andrew are getting married next March at the Turnip Rose and I could not be more excited.  Enjoy!

Jeffrey

Last friday I was in Temecula to shoot Cortney and Sean's wedding at the Falkner Winery.
Every time I am in Temecula I realize that it is a shame that I only go out there to shoot weddings.  I really need to take my wife out there for a weekend of wine tasting.  Cortney and Sean had a great little wedding with their friends and family at this beautiful winery.  The day was gorgeous and the wedding could not have been more fun.  

I will be back here soon to do a little table top shoot with Ceremony magazine!  Can not wait!!

Engagements like a BOSS!  I have shot a ton of these lately and a lot in LA which I am loving!!  These two are Maureen and Jeremy that I shot last week.  It was such a fun day.  We took the train to Union Station and it was great because I really got some good time to get to know them on the ride down.  They are such a great couple and the love they have for each other was really cute to see in person.  I have said this before but engagement sessions for me are really about getting to know your clients and building that "Chemistry" so that on the day of the wedding they are comfortable and willing to let you into one of the most intimate moments of their life.  Check em out!!!

Thank you Maureen and Jeremy for an amazing day!!

A few weeks ago I traveled out to the Ponte Winery in Temecula to shoot Amy & Nicks beautiful wedding with my good buddy Hoffmann.  This year I had planned to second shoot more than I did last year and I am so glad that I did.  There is something so good about second shooting and doing this just because I love it.  

Amy and Nick had a gorgeous all green wedding that was perfectly put together by the ladies over at DetailsDetails.  It could not have been more perfect.  The dress was a 100% hemp silk and all the floral arrangements were totally edible with artichoke and eggplant.

At the end of the ceremony they released doves and it was such an awesome picture for the peace we have with God and the freedom to enjoy this life in His grace.  I hope you enjoy, this is a long post!!!!

Wedding photography has evolved over the years. Portraits and staged poses used to be the norm, but wedding photography now includes those rare, easily missed candid moments in between the main action of your nuptials. The memories of your big day will be taken to new heights by the artists behind the cameras at Hendricks Kim Photography. The photos from my wedding are timeless, I am very pleased. Finding an LA Wedding Photographer can be difficult. I got all of my info for my wedding from their website at http://hendrickskimphotography.com good luck with your wedding!

A few weeks ago I was back at the Turnip Rose shooting a beautiful wedding with my friend Hoffmann.  For me this was two weeks in a row at the Turnip Rose and I am really loving shooting here.  The venue is perfect in so many ways and has so many great places to shoot amazing pictures.  The couple was adorable and were huge Lakers fan, hence the Lakers tennis shoes on the bride!  Check em out!

I have been listening to music more when I shoot as a way to get my mind in a place that is not over thinking things.  I find that I do my best work when my mind is free to play and not thinking about the things that are going on out side of whatever shoot I am doing.  Music helps me to really zone in and create the chemistry that I need with my subject and to my surprise really gets us both on the same page. 

I went out yesterday to do a promo shoot for my good friend and hair stylist for her new website.  Robin pretty much styles any shoot that I do where I need hair done.  Here are a few from the day!

This past weekend I had the joy of shooting Tara and Dan's amazing wedding at South Shores Church in Dana Point, followed by an awesome reception at the Turnip Rose in Newport Beach, Ca.  As I have gotten to know Dan and Tara I have grown with excitement to shoot their wedding.  The best thing about being a wedding photographer is being around people who love each other, and Tara and Dan are madly in love.

In simple words, they are just a perfect match.  Dan is very giving and and a kid at heart, while Tara is extremely supportive and always keeping Dan in line.  I had such a blast with these two while shooting their wedding that it made me feel like I was not even working.  

Have an awesome time on your honeymoon!

Jeff, your shots are AMAZING. We are so in love with them. When you lined us up for a shot at the place I wasn't sure if it was going to look good but I trusted you and my trust in you didn't fail me. There is nobody on the face of the planet besides you that we would have wanted to shoot our wedding, not even me (being the perfectionist I am). You nailed it with this one bro and we couldn't have asked for anything more. You are great at what you do and keep doing it. We love you man and look forward to hanging out with you and the wife. Also when I get back you better let me help you cut the paint in the corners of your walls at your house. Thanks dude

When you lined us up for a shot at the place I wasn't sure if it was going to look good but I trusted you and my trust in you didn't fail me. There is nobody on the face of the planet besides you that we would have wanted to shoot our wedding, not even me (being the perfectionist I am). You nailed it with this one bro and we couldn't have asked for anything more. You are great at what you do and keep doing it. We love you man and look forward to hanging out with you and the wife. Also when I get back you better let me help you cut the paint in the corners of your walls at your house. Thanks dude

Last Saturday was the kick off of an awesome wedding season with Molly and James at the Muckenthaler Cultural Center in Fullerton Ca.  I was amped when Molly and James booked me because I really wanted to shoot at the Muckenthaler for a long time and they are just two people who are so in love that they make it easy to shoot them.  The forecast for the day was rain, which made me happy, even though I love bright light I love the rain and it made for an awesome day with tons of great even light, perfect for wedding photography.  

It has been a couple months since I had shot a wedding and I forgot how much I love wedding ceremonies.  It always reminds me of how blessed I am to have such a wonderful wife and amazing life with her.  Molly and James wrote their own vows and they each heard them for the first time during the ceremony which caused a flood of tears to pour and left everyone with a great smile.  

Molly looked stunning in her dress and red shoes and was so light hearted and excited to get to be wed with her best friend.  Equally James could not wait to have Molly be his bride.  Thank you both for such an amazing day and reminding me of how amazing marriage is with your best friend.  Have a great time in Hawaii and I can not wait for you to see the rest!

I had so much shooting this engagement session!  When I met with Kristen and Morgan I knew that these two were going to be so much fun to work with.  They are a great looking couple and such a cute chemistry with one another.  I love shooting engagement sessions and getting to spend that time with each one of my clients.  It is so crucial for me to get them comfortable being in front of the camera before there wedding day.  I will be speaking about this at WPPI at the PRO DPI booth so stop by and check it out.  Thank you again to Kristen and Morgan for such an awesome day!

I have been up in San Francisco since wednesday shooting an amazing project for the California Small Brewers Association and while we were driving to Sierra Nevada I stumbled upon this amazing scene and had to shoot it.  There is something so inspiring about the color and symmetry of God's creation.  As I look at images like this it helps me remember how small I am in this world and appreciate how much joy there is for us to experience.  

It is scenes like this that make me want to explore all that life has to offer and dive in to the endless possibilities that are out there.  There is so much beauty in this world that is not pondered on as long as it deserves.  

I will be posting images soon from my shoot out here but I thought I would just show you these for now.  Enjoy, and pursue the beauty of life.

These last two weeks have been a whirl wind!!!!  Last monday we had the first ever JNP Workshop and it was amazing!  This has been something that has been in the works for a while and I was so excited to be able finally do it.  I asked the amazing Eliesa from photogeninc to come and guest speak on finding inspiration and like always she was amazing as well as Jonathan Metcalf to speak on Fusion.  The girls from Utterly Engaged and Kristen from Treasured Petal put together an amazing table that is very masculine and will be shown in the March edition of the Utterly Engaged E-Zine.  

The workshop was so much fun and such an incredible day.  We had a great group of people who all added a ton to the discussions and really brought a unique element to the workshop.  I have always found that workshops are a great place to learn and connect and this is what happened.  Eliesa was amazing and I know really inspired all who came and myself to pursue what they want in there business.  

Here is a sneak peek of some of the details so look for the rest on the Utterly Engaged     
E-zine in march.  

As for moving, my lovely wife and I purchased our first home and got the keys the day after my workshop.  It feels like I have been moving, painting and planning for the last week, and it feels so good.  I have always dreamed about owning property in the OC and now it is a reality.  I am looking forward to see how God uses our place to grow our business and minister to our church and neighbors.  At the bottom will be a few of our house!

I was so stoked last week when I got the new Ceremony Magazine and saw two of my weddings in there.  As a wedding photographer it has always been a goal of mine to get my images published.  It is great to see your work in print and also very fun for my brides to see their wedding, and all the time and thought that was put into it, published for other brides to use for inspiration.  Laura and Scott's amazing wedding at Rancho Las Lomas and Karen and Andy's beautiful wedding at Balboa Bay Club both made it.  Check it out and get your own copy of ceremony!

Here it is!

One of my resolutions in 2010 was to do everything I can to glorify God and help others with my business.  The first opportunity of the year had come up.  As most of you, I have been deeply moved by the suffering that has been seen in Haiti.  I think of all the comforts we have and luxuries we enjoy and I can not help but think of all those in Haiti right now that are suffering and are in need.  

I have come up with a way that I can give back in two ways.  I am offering to do a shoot for any photographers that would like new shots for their web site or just to have a shoot with me and to pick my brain for the hour that we are shooting.  The shoot will have to be scheduled in February because the rest of the month is super busy.  The cost for the shoot will $100 and and 100% proceeds will go to world vision to provide food, water, blankets, and tents to children and their families.  

This will have to be booked in January so please email me at jeff@jnpstudios.com to set this up.  If nothing else your giving a $100 to people in need.

The Aaron and Brian Guys
I was so stoked when I heard that my good friends Aaron Dieppa and Brian Khang were starting this new website to give our industry a place to learn about what is going on both socially and with business. This is a place not only for photographers but to all in the wedding industry to find out "Where it's at" and what is going on in our industry. I know that I have missed opportunities just because I did not know that something was happening and now there is a place to get the scoop about everything that is taking place so that we can network, learn and grow our businesses the way we want to. Check it out! The Aaron and Brian guys!

I really do love the AGWPJA and the WPJA and find them to be a great place to reach potential brides.  I have been with them for about three years now and get a substantial amount of my weddings from these sites.  If you would like to check them out here they are WPJA and the AGWPJA.  

I was stoked to find out one of my images placed in the 3rd quarter contest!  I always think I am going to win, or I would not have entered the image, but with so many talented photographers out there it is always such a nice surprise to have others be inspired by your work.  Here is the image that placed in the category for "Emotion".  This was from Kim and Johnny's wedding at the Langham Huntington Pasadena, back in June.  This venue is one of my favorite places to shoot weddings at, it is like a wedding photographers dream.  Enjoy.

On Saturday I went down to the beautiful La Costa Resort and Spa for Corinne and Stephen's wedding.  I had not had much time to get to know these two because they live in Texas, but I knew from the consultation that it was going to be a great day!  You can tell these two are madly in love and just enjoy life with each other.  It never hurts that they are both really good looking people.  

On the wedding day Corinne was such a calm bride.  I loved how they had odd numbers in the wedding party and how the bridesmaids all had different color dresses.  Corinne had a gorgeous Reem Acra dress that looked stunning on.  For me one of the best things of the day were all the white walls that reflected mazing light all over La Costa, it was amazing to shoot there.  Thank you Corrine and Stephen and all your family for such a wonderful day!  Have a great time on your honeymoon.

I usually do not post non-wedding shoots on this blog but I really wanted to share a few images from the last week.  I met Jared from Red Tail Media when he and his lovely fiancé Christy booked me to shoot their wedding.  Since then Jared and I have started to collaborate on some projects with his business partner Chris.  

This last week we were in LA shooting at two schools trying to get some really cool ESPN looking shots that really would get people excited about the sports programs at these private schools.  So, here are just a few from the two days.

Ok, here is the long awaited part one of this awesome engagement session.  Right when Christy and Jared booked they were set on doing a destination engagement session in Yosemite, CA.  I was so excited because I have not been there since I was in the sixth grade and I have never shot an engagement session there either.  I have only done a few destination engagement sessions but they are always extremely fun because I really get to know my clients in a much different way spending the whole weekend with them.  Another advantage is I usually dedicate the whole time to making awesome images.

Jared is a huge fan of Ansel Adams, as am I, so we wanted to do a sort of homage to him with there engagement shoot.  They both gave me so much creative freedom to shoot this session the way I wanted which I love.  I also know that it must have been a little more difficult for Jared as he is an amazing and very accomplished artist with his films. 

We set out to shoot at 6:30a so that we could really chase the good light all day in Yosemite valley.  Our agenda was really determined by the light and of course our appetite's when we got hungry.  Christy and Jared both were very inspiring to shoot and the whole weekend reminded me of why I love my job.  It was not work at all but a day of creating with two amazing people that are madly in love.  I found such joy in their interaction with each other.  They are both very sarcastic and playful but have a real depth to their relationship and an honesty that is both inspiring and contagious.  

I also have to thank Jonathan Metcalf from Met Media Video who came and filmed the whole shoot and is putting together an amazing fusion piece that I will show here on the blog as soon as he is finished with it.  I will also be posting some teaser video as I get it from him.  Ok, enough talk here are some of the images from the day!

Jared says:

I'm blown away man. Stunning. The shot with the craggy tree roots is incredible and the 1.2 mi. hike to mirror lake was totally worth it. Also, you know you're legit when you can use photographic magic to make Christy look sexier than me. I don't know how you managed to do that, but it worked.

Jeffrey! These are absolutely, positively, stunningly beautiful! Awesome job! Can Scott and I do a destination post wedding shoot? Does that exist? Can we make it exist? :) Hope you are well. Great images!

Maybe it's because I know Jared... or maybe it's because they are in Yosemite... but I think these are some of the best photos you have taken for an engagement shoot. I mean, come on! Really? The fog shot? Incredible. I'm SOOO excited to see the footage Jon got.

Congratulations to Christy & Jared!

It was so inspiring watching you take in each location you scouted and then find the perfect way to use it as a backdrop for portraying Jared and Christy's playfulness and passion. The one thing that can't be seen in every picture is Christy's high heels that she wore all day long; including the 2 mile round trip hike to Mirror Lakes. Excellent work. The colors are dead on to real life.

I got back today from one of the most beautiful, inspiring, humbling, calm and divine places on earth, Yosemite, CA!  A while back I met with Jared and Christy to shoot their wedding.  Right when I met them I knew they were the perfect clients for me.  Christy is a super cute girl, who has amazing style, and a great heart for people.  Jared is one of the owner's of Redtail Media which is a Southern California production company that does some pretty amazing documentary films as well as all kinds of great film work.  I was so honored when they booked me to shoot their wedding for many reasons.  

I will go more into this story in the soon to come posts but I wanted to post a little teaser for all of you waiting to see what took place.  The two shots I am posting are from a 4x5 large format camera shot on Polaroid 79 color film.  This film is absolutely amazing in the way it captures true color and holds sharpness. It is rated at ISO 100.  One was shot at F-11 and the other at F-5.6.  Can you tell which is which?  I love this film with all of its imperfections as a typical polaroid film.

These look great. I can't believe the dynamic range on these. When I heard about the Yosemite shoot, I was hoping hoping hoping there would be some nice high grass shots. I'm looking forward to putting together the footage you guys shot and seeing the other photos.

Though it may look this way, Christy is not standing in a hole... she is, in fact that short. It's a good thing she's so sexy.

Wow, this had to be one of the most adventurous weddings I have ever shot.  Shelly and Bradford are really amazing people and could not be more perfect for each other.  I say this so that you don't think that any of the shenanigans detract from this perfect couples day!

Before we went to do portraits, Shelly and Bradford went to the "old folks home" that Shelly works at so that they could all be a part of their wedding day.  It was so cute to see how they all reacted to seeing the lovely couple.  Bradford even got a kiss from another women on his wedding day!  

  After the that we headed down to Crystal Cove to shoot the bridal party but were stopped by the mean state trooper before we got started.  Apparently peeing out in the open on a state beach is frowned upon.  So, we turned to plan B and went to Corona Del Mar for some portraits and had a blast.  The bridal party had a little to drink but all in all we pulled it off. Then we headed to the Harborside Pavilion  for the reception.

The D.J. for the wedding was the totally fun and amazing Peter Merry who always make's the best wedding reception ever.  Notice all the pictures of people laughing!  Well, here is the post.

Jeffrey! Love this pictures.
You have NO idea what a controversery that old ladies' kiss was! It has been the talk of the old folks home since our wedding day. Thank you again for hanging with us through the craziness of the day. I can't wait to see the rest of the pictures.

This last Saturday I was at St.Edwards Catholic Church in Dana Point to shoot Ingrid and Tony's wedding.  They both live on the east coast as Tony is an f-18 pilot (he might be flying an f-15 now).  I have been so excited for there wedding and to see them again.  When we met for their consultation they were so cute together and so excited to be getting married in southern California.  I love when I get weddings at St.Edwards because there is so much natural light which makes it perfect to shoot in.  

Ingrid was such a great bride and totally relaxed the whole day.  It always makes my job easy when my clients are this good looking!

Stay tuned for part two!

This last Saturday I has the pleasure of being a part of Mandy and Jason's wedding.  I met them both at Dawn and Brian's wedding last year.  The day was just the most absolute perfect day as you can see from the images.  Mandy and Jason had the worlds fastest ceremony with 30 of their closest friends and then had a huge party at Cannon's afterward.  They put a lot of time into the really small meaningful details.  They had three cakes, on main cake with the best cake topper I have seen, them in a tub, and then one for the Cowboys and one for the Packers.  Check these out and enjoy.  Have fun on your honeymoon.  

A note to the photographers;

             I am liking the 5D Markii more and more every day I shoot it.
