Sacramento -- Photography & Things To Do

I started following a new feed on Twitter called "The Sacramento Blog" which seems to be a pretty strong feed.

As a Sacramento California Photographer, I am always looking for good reasons to get out, fire the flash at a good time. I have been impressed with the links from SacBlog so far, and I hope you get something out of them if you take a look.

When all else fades away, the photographs remain.

Bohemian Fashion @ Elle

Violet Moon Gaynor has another fashion "how-to" (pretty simple) over at Elle magazine called Shop Chic Bohemian Style.

I like the idea, my only complaint would be a request for more photographs of the completed look.

Anyway, as a Sacramento Wedding Photographer, I'm constantly on the lookout for Fashion related reading materials. Here is another one, at least with a lot more photographs

Wedding Video in 3D?

As a Sacramento Wedding Photographer, I love to hear about new high-end wedding technology!

The recent 3D movie Avatar was amazing and I love watching 3D

However, it does seem like the early adopters will be paying big dollars -- the KTAR story references a cost of $55,000 for the video!

Top quality wedding photography is so much more affordable, for example, just take a look at my Wedding Photography Packages.

Even Famous Photographers Have to Pay Their Bills

Photographer Leibovitz might loose her copyright on her portfolio of work.

http://edition.cnn.com/2009/US/09/08/leibovitz.debt/index.html?iref=mpstoryview

Would be very sad to see such a famous artist stripped of her rights, but that is what happens when you take loans and do not pay them back.

Trash the Dress 2009

Dear Blog!

It is mid-2009 and the Trash The Dress trend is still going strong.

As a Sacramento Digital Wedding Photographer, I do love Wedding Photography trends, especially edgy modern ones.

Washington Post Online News has this "Trash the Dress" interview.

Thanks,

Cory Trese

Shooting with Studio Blu

I am a Bella Certified Wedding Photographer working in Northern California.

Bella just launched a new studio, Studio Blue, to help provide more options for the brides in areas they serve.

I think this is interesting and it will be cool to see how Bella does now that they are offering customization on packages.

Cutting Costs During The Recession

My wedding service, Northern California Digital Wedding Photography, has certainly been impacted by the economic climate and we are all making some changes.  A wedding is an event of monumental importance in a couple's life and while price is increasingly a factor, the couple's happiness is (and always will be) paramount.  In an effort to find advice for my friends, clients and readings I was reading Google newsletters about Wedding Photography and I came across this USA Today Story:

Couples saying 'I don't' to expensive weddings
USA Today - USA
Lee knows of wedding photographers who used to charge $20000 but now are discounting their fees by nearly 50%, "just to get some jobs. ...

Along those same lines (cutting costs without cutting into the fun) I saw that TheWeddingChannel now has a DIY Weddings Blog called My DIY Wedding Day.  I have seen (and taken photographs of!) some very nice DIY weddings.

Another great place to look for ways to save is by re-using or renting things that people were previously buying new.  TheKnot has a cool "Trash to Treasure" message board for members where last week's bride can help next week's bride.  Renting is another great option and here in the Bay Area you can find rentals of everything from wedding day jewelry for the bride to Rolex watches for the groom.

Halfway Across The World -- Wedding Photography Still Cute!

As a hopeless romantic and digital wedding photographer, I love reading about romantic wedding days and dreams fulfilled.

While I was doing some daily searches for inspiration and ideas for my Sacramento California Professional Digital Wedding Photography, I stumbled across this story:
