Hairong and Sampson now Hitched!




I photographed Hairong and Sampson's ceremony on Friday at the San Francisco City Hall on Friday.  What an amazing backdrop!  They had their ceremony in Palo Alto the following Sunday. It was a "Chinese Style" reception, and there were 10 courses of food!  All good mind you :)  I had an absolute blast photographing this couple.  As a side note, Sampson seems to be quite the photographer himself, they had a book at the reception filled with pictures that he took of Hairong and himself.  Very impressive!

Here are some of my favorite shots and at the end is the video (again, forgive the quality as my blog only allows small file sized videos).

Danica and Justins Wedding

http://www.adamtylerphotography.com/


Wow! You know, sometimes it's just obvious when two people belong together. Danica and Justin just fit. Take a look at the pictures of them together, even people who don't know them would be convinced. I had a blast shooting their wedding. Things turned out great! Here is their video that I created today. Ya, day after the wedding, and it's up. Can't accuse me of being patient but I was just THAT excited about it! And no, this will not be the norm!

Please Note that the quality of this video is all that this blog can handle.

Danica and Justin's Portrait Session




So, Danica and Justin needed a portrait for their guestbook signing table at their upcomming wedding.  So, we went to a nice park in Rocklin Ca. to make it happen.  What an easy couple to photograph, talk about layed back!  

I like this close up shot a lot.  It's the one they chose for the table.

One of the things I liked about this park was all the tree's.  I wanted to get a shot that showed them in the environment.

This location in the park was Danica's idea.  I love it when the clients add input!  Thanks Justin for puttin up with that dirty bridge!

I really like this shot as well.  The lighting add's a lot to the over all feeling.   I'll be shooting their wedding on Saturday, can't wait!

Portrait Session, Shanti Elizabeth Brodnick



Ok, so I can admit, these photos came out pretty darn good. Can I pat myself on the back? Well, in all honesty I think Shanti deserves part of the credit, what an adorable little girl! I feel like it's cheating ;)

We went to American Legion Park, which happens to be right by my house. I usualy poke fun at photographers that barely leave the circle around their house but hey, sometimes it just works. It was truly hard for me to pick out my favorite shots as a lot of them turned out very well.

Had a blast shooting Ava's Family!


So, a friend and fellow photographer called me up and asked me if I could shoot one of her good friends family portraits as she had to go out of town. While family portraits aren't my "forte" as I know she would do the same for me, I told her that I would of course do it. Good thing, I had a blast! What cute kids, which certainly made my life easier. I hope to get the rest processed soon, but we all know how long editing can take!

Special Thanks to my awesome assistant, Rebecca Blunt for her great work!

Changed my mind!

Ok...so, I have changed the name of the business. It's now Adam Tyler Photography. Couple reasons, I found out after I chose the original name, Exposures Photoraphy that there was already a Exposures Professional Photography in Sacramento, and the more I think about it, I am marketing ME, so what better to name the company right?

So, with that change comes another. Rumaging through my cellar, I found a bag full of NEGATIVES!! I couldn't believe my eyes, but sitting there were over 300 rolls of film from my past life. Mind you, not every roll I ever shot at a wedding, but 300 none the less. I knew from this I could scrounge up at least a few decent shots, right?

I called a friend who I knew had a negative scanner, and quickly set to work scanning, and scanning, and, you guessed it, scanning negatives. Now, these negatives had weathered the great basement flood, so they were DIRTY. Let me tell you how much cleaning up in Photoshop I had to do...

Ok..so all said and done, I found over 70 images I fealt were good enough to show! So, the next big change. All that hard work I put into that website? All for not! I found a way better solution, and it looks a lot more professional. Of course, having the images at a good screen resolution helps, too!

The web address will match the company name, an added bonus to the whole thing. So, http://www.adamtylerphotography.com/. Be sure to check in soon as it will be going live in the next couple of day. Ok, I'm off, got a fishing trip tomorrow morning, gonna catch a big un.
