Engagement Shoot in LA

Well, I spent Friday evening with a great couple (Forouzan and Nima). We are meeting again on Tuesday to get a few different looks for their guest book.

Tanya and Travis

What an incredible day and an amazing shoot! Pismo Beach made the perfect background for a wedding. Tanya was beyond beautiful and looked like a princess. Travis was her Prince Charming for sure! A little fog in the air and a bit nippy, Pismo is beautiful even with the weather. The slideshow was the biggest hit, with photos of Tanya and Travis growing up and a few photos from the weekend and the wedding itself! Enjoy a few pics.

Ideas!

Where there is smoke, there is fire!!! We have found that statement to be VERY true here in Southern California lately. But it is also true when it comes to new ideas!

At SceneOne, we are offering a special during the month of November. CHRISTMAS PHOTOS! We have two specials.

1. Free on location shoot (photos ordered a la carte).

2. $150 for on location shoot (your choice of a pro photo package (1 11x14, 2 8x10's, and 24 wallets) OR a DVD of all images.

Call the office number today to set up your CHRISTMAS FAMILY PORTRAIT!

See, smoke isn't always a bad thing!

FIRES!

Since many have asked, I decided I should put a post here about the fires. They are not close to our Southern California office, though close enough to be battling some smoke issues. The fire that's closest to us is the one in Lake Arrowhead. The winds have really been the issue, but hopefully they will die down soon. Marina's wedding venue in Malibu is safe so far...whew! We were sweating that one out, but all is good!

Our office is busy this week finishing the editing on Manny and Jessica's wedding and thinking ahead on the design issues of Desiree and Michael's album.

You know, it never ceases to amaze me how everything seems to work itself out in the long run. Nothing seems to stop true love's path! I know, it's mushy!!!

Jessica and Manny

Jessica and Manny were married this past Saturday at the Oak Glen Resort in Yukaipa, CA. It was an overcast day and COLD! But true love warms the heart if not the body and it turned out beautiful and LOTS of fun!

NEW WEBSITE LAUNCHED!

Our new website launched this week has been a real hit! Many of you have called and e-mailed to let me know how much you like it. If you have an event that you are trying to find, just follow the PICTAGE links! It has been a challenge to get everything together, but we have a new look! Excitement is in the air.

Desiree and Mike's Wedding!

What a beautiful wedding this past weekend! It was in Yorba Linda California and the reception was at the Crowne Plaza in Fullerton. Desiree was the most CALM bride we have ever worked with. You would think she got married every day! They both have families that are so hospitable and welcoming! What a great day!

BIG NEWS!

We are so excited at SceneOne Photography because we have some major changes coming!

We have our WASHINGTON office up and running. Make sure you email us to set up your weddings for next year in beautiful Washington State! Remember, June goes quick!!!

We are now Pictage members, which has opened up a whole new world including P3. It is a service that provides you, as the client, with the option of a pre-arranged payment plan. So now that PERFECT album that was only a dream can now be a reality!

We have newly revised packages that offer more products and services. These range in price from $2000 to $5000. We have also added an A La Carte option for those who don't quite fit into our structured packages.

Our Website is about to undergo a major change, thanks to a new web design by BluDomain. The new look will be clean and will have some great new features, including galleries and passworded client access. This will also fix the issues we have had with the outgoing mail server. If you emailed the office in the last few months with no response, please re-submit your email and we will get back to you.

Our growing pains are not limited to the company. As many of you know, Paula (one of our photographers and my youngest daughter) has 2 little ones less that 2 years old. Next year we will be able to say she has 3 little ones less than 3 years old. Yes, she and my oldest daughter are both pregnant and due sometime in May next year. WOW! This will be quite a year for SceneOne and our family.

Megan!

We did some head shots for Megan today. She is a wonderful singer, learning to play the guitar and just having fun going to college. We had a lot of fun. I think the guy at the tractor shop thought we had lost it, but it made a great prop!
