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:

Pair of Army captains gets a 'Wedding Day' to remember

To visit reception sites, interview photographers, pick invitations all takes a lot more time than we had anticipated," says Shawn, 26, currently on duty in ...

Eco-Friendly Weddings in Sacramento California

As a California Sacramento Wedding Photographer, I am often thinking about "Green Wedding" trends. 

Using less water, more recycled materials and other eco-friendly planning techniques help every bride feel like their wedding is having a positive impact on more than just her guests!

Can You Really Have a Fabulous  AND Frugal  Wedding?
By Lorraine Howlett

Of course you can!  But it's going to take some planning, some time, and a good dose of creativity.  If you haven't got all three, enlist the help of family, friends or even a professional wedding planner.  Having help from others can help save your sanity during this crazy but wonderful time.  If you choose to use a wedding planner, know that the amount you spend for a professional's help can often save you from costly mistakes you might make on your own, and also open up a whole world of new ideas to help you create that "fabulous" wedding.
