Welcome to my blog!
My name is Jeffrey Neal and I am an Orange County Photographer!

This is where you can see all that I am doing in the world of photography!  On my blog you will find the latest images from all the shoots that I have, information for my clients and any other crazy ideas or projects that I have.  
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!

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.
