WPPI 16×20″ Print Competition 2ND PLACE!!

We strive and work our hardest to make imagery worthy of world class print competition.  It is fleeting and very difficult to create that one magic piece that will “wow” judges from an international pool.  We submitted two this year and although they were both great images, our goal was, and always is, to provide a chance for our clients to participate in an event that will create far more value than what they’re initially offered.  Winning a Grand Award at an event like this will showcase our work, and your event on a global stage.  So, our goal is of course to win, but there’s no “magic bullet” for victory other than producing stunning prints that are variations from the normal everyday event stuff.  You just never know.

Our print titled “At Your Service” was printed by master printer and Multi Grand Award winning photographer Rocco Ancora. Rocco and Tanya from Capture To Print provide our award winning competition prints as well as our album design.  We’re proud to have them as part of the Black Tie Cinema Team!  Our print scored an impressive 87 points and went on to take 2nd place in the “premier” category.  Thank you Roc!

Milestones everyone!  Graduation is upon us and I know most people don’t associate graduation with photography but it’s good to have some nice portraits made in celebration.  Yes, another milestone in our lives to be celebrated and yes, photographed.  I mean, how cool would it be to have these amazing portraits on your wall! (or your parents wall, LOL!)  We will have this package available to everyone and it will be fun.  and it will be beautiful.

Goddess Session – Airin Aquarious

February 7, 2013 Posted inPortraits

Somehow you landed here.  As we discover ourselves spiritually, we find out more. Self discovery could be very powerful and empowering.  I’ve known Hawaii to be a very magical and mystical place. The allure of the islands is the fantasy of finding yourself, sometimes with the one you’re with, other times single.    We want to showcase these events and celebrate who we’re becoming in the process of going through this journey. Represent this time in your life having this wonderful transformation.  These edits are indicative of what we are in relation to the world around us.  Most of what we believe is fantasy. We have no real grasp on the life that we live now. It’s fleeting. Airin is living a journey right now.  We all meet very serendipitously sometimes and when we come together with a connection, we must celebrate it.  There are no accidents.

Hawaii Bridal Expo 2013

January 24, 2013 Posted inPortraits,Wedding Photography
Share

We were thrilled and honored to be a part of the Hawaii bridal expo this past weekend!  We met with so many lovely brides and we we’re inspired by vendors from all corners of the industry.  One of the most difficult vendors to choose is of course your photographer.  There is so much media to look at and so many styles to choose from!  A couple of quick tips while looking around…

1. Respect your budget.  Especially in these tough times.  Every style has a range.  Find the style that inspires you and has potential for your type of event and find a studio in your price range and work with them on the price that you’re comfortable with.  Here’s an article from the Knot to help you.

2. Don’t hire by the hour.  Make sure your whole event is covered.  The only time you need a photographer for less than four hours is if you’re planning a very small/short wedding.

3. Make a connection with your photographer(s).  This is the person(s) that will be with you all day, and then some.  Make sure you can say anything and do everything you want.

4. Review portfolios.  Make sure you see what your wedding images will look like.  Prints and album design as well.

5. Ask around.  Sometimes your friends’ and venues’ experiences will point you in the right direction.  Vendors you already have a relationship with will certainly refer you to respectable and responsible photographers.

So there you have it, 5 things to consider.  The other priceless piece of advice we’ll give you is this.. don’t think digital files are timeless.  A quality album will last a lifetime.  Albums we make today are not made for us.  We store and present images to signify reverence to the occasion.  Weddings are a very significant milestone in our life.  Our children will be tickled to see how important these ceremonies are and thus perpetuate the honor of the union.  Tablet and phone images are great to show friends and relatives, co-workers, etc. but how do we separate the importance of our wedding with the vacation to Disneyland?
