Hello again, I know it has been forever… business has been crazy (Thank God). I have so much to talk about. First things first: Tal and Danielle’s wedding. This is one first class couple with exceptional taste. I have known the Zemer Family for many years. They own a chain of high end jewelry stores across the U.S. This amazing wedding was at the Four Seasons Aviara. It is always a pleasure to shoot there, “certainly” is their favorite word. Before I Get started I need to mention a few vendors that made this day happen. Jaclyn with Events by Jaclyn. She had an amazing crew and did a great job!. There was a lot going on and this was not an easy event to coordinate. She was graceful, respectful and easy going… I am looking forward to working with you again Jaclyn on Nicole’s wedding. Also Jason Taylor with Taylor Films. Jason and I have known each other for a while and it is always a pleasure to work together. His wedding films are AMAZING!. Here are some photos from their wedding. Her dress was a Paloma Blanca and she purchased it at Isis Bridal Botique here in San Diego.
Stuart Weitzman are hands down the most popular wedding footwear. At least 75% of my brides wear them.
The Florist was Willem Aidan and they worked with David. The flowers were beautiful, fresh and looked as good at the end of the night as they did in the beginning of the day.
Danielle’s Make-up was done by: Leslie Galardi, her email is LeslieGalardi@hotmail.com. She is working on her website. She did an excellent job. Got the make-up done on time (very important) and it photographed well. I tell all my brides to make sure and hire a professional make-up artist. It always makes a big difference in the photos. Danielle’s hair was done by Gracie Klein Missgracer@me.com . Lovely work!.
Her mother in-law helping her with the jewelry.
She has a great smile!
Tal is a stud!. And a very funny dude. He wore Isaia - Napoli. A very high end Italian Designer. Very smooth.
In the Jewish Culture the bride and groom see each other before the ceremony. The shots below are from the first reveal.
I love working at the Four Seasons Aviara in Carlsbad. They are the only five star resort in San Diego. We worked with Geena in catering. I am fortunate enough to be one of their preferred photography vendors.
This is a great idea and many bride and grooms are implementing it. Pick up a few Polaroid cameras, a guest book attendant, a few Sharpies and some double sided tape. The guest book attendant takes a photo of each guest, they put it in a book and write a little note to the bride and groom. Very personable.
This was Tal’s grandfathers Talid who had unfortunately passed. I love tradition and details in a wedding that have significance.
The Bridesmaid and Flower Girl dresses were designed by the Dessy Collection.
The first sighting as she was walking towards the isle.
The Four Seasons is certainly a beautiful venue.
Only one of these guys was from my studio.
The room was spectacular! The Four Seasons provided the lighting, Wildflower Linen’s provided all the linen’s. Tal’s brother Ori did most of the design. Great job Ori… you are a talented guy!.
You will never see me on the dance floor asking the bride and groom to look at me during their first dance. I shoot with the 200mm lens and capture the chemistry from a distance.
The Band was the Rembrandts. They totally rocked this reception. They played songs from Sam Cooke and Prince. A wide variety of music. They sounded great.
Most Photographers don’t put toast photos in their blog but this couple was so full of life I wanted to show them. Danielle was a very expressive bride. I love that!.
Thank you Danielle and Tal for allowing me to be a part of your day. I want to wish you all the blessings life and marriage has to offer. I am sure we will see each other soon… Joseph.
