Hyatt Regency Wedding Photography

Hello all,

As promised, I am happy to finally unveil our super cool graphically manipulated picture of the groom! All props are due to Doug's extensive efforts to create a Matrix poster replica. To celebrate and observe Sarika's (beautiful bride) culture, James, the handsome groom, donned a traditional Indian wedding / ceremony outfit. Since the Indian outfit reminded him of Neo from Matrix the movie, he decided to bring along some wicked shades to complement his clothing.

The left image is the original image prior to edit. It was photographed in a completely dark room with only his face gently lit by a flashlight. I put the original picture in juxtaposition to the final image to show you the work that was done in order to achieve the final effect.



We were so thrilled with the result that we had the picture of James (groom) printed in a large metallic poster, which will make it shimmer like a hologram! =) Anyway, Sarika and James' wedding was held at the beautiful Hyatt Regency Hotel in Orange County.

Sarika's beautiful dress hung in a bar at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. I absolutely love the lighting!



Some detail photographs of the bride's hands. From my understanding of Indian weddings, before the actual wedding ceremony the bride will have her hands and legs drawn on with some form of semi-permanent henna ink. It lasts for four to six weeks. I sincerely admire the artistic workmanship!



Here is Sarika, the chic bride, getting her make-up done.





A glimpse of the bride's legs.



While the bride was getting ready, Doug accompanied the groom while he worked out in the gym.



This was Doug's first attempt at the Matrix recreation, but the uncontrolled lighting did not suit his vision for the final poster.



Here is a quick snap of the wedding ceremony.



Before sunset, we went outside of the Hyatt Regency Hotel and took a few pictures with the water fountain as the backdrop.





Unfortunately, the next two images will not do the reception justice. The wedding reception was back to back with performances and dancing! If I were to post every image, this blog will take too long to load.





I hope everyone enjoyed the pictures in our wedding photography blog. Please check back for updates! For more images, please visit our random images page or our wedding photography website at Furious Photographers

Happy new year,

Greetings,

Unfortunately, the graphically manipulated image will not be posted now. Doug will make that post later on. What I would like to share now are some portrait pictures of a beautiful bride - Kim Scott. She looked so gorgeous in the afternoon light that I had to make it a priority to share. I will get some of her wedding photographs up when the opportunity allows.

This picture looks as if it was pulled from a CD cover =)



Doesn't she have the best smile?









Julie photographed this wedding. I just edited the images. Pretty good stuff she cranked out!

Happy holidays,

Los Angeles Union Station Engagement Photography

Dear audience,

I apologize for the delay in postings. One of my new year's resolutions is to be more updated har har

Without further adieu, I present to you Patti and Matt's engagement photography session. They are due to get married in January so they decided to get some vintage pictures taken at the beautiful Metro Union Station in Los Angeles. We started around 2pm so the sun would give us a nice warm yellow glow.







During the photography session, Patti and Matt requested for some artistic poses, so we cranked out a picture fit for a Sketchers' ad (left). =)



Hugs and kisses are encouraged during engagement photography sessions. However, butt grabbing warrants a spot on our blog as well.



CHARGE!



This is something new that Doug and I were trying - combining shadows with subjects to create a picture with a nice message. We experimented with a number of them, but the following is a good sample of what I am trying to say.



This is the nice yellow light I was talking about! Not too harsh, yet it lends a nice glow to the subjects when used as a back light.



A fun picture fitting the fun couple. Although it took Matt several attempts, the outcome was well worth it!



I hope everyone enjoyed the images. Stay tuned for our next post because it is of a cool Indian wedding with some graphic manipulations.

Happy holidays,

Lawrence
