How-To Lighting 2008-02-18 23:06:00 My friend Gavin Holt introduced me to the LA Strobist event, which is going to be hosted again next week at the Whittier Narrows Park (Los Angeles). Inspired by Gavin's pictures, we decided to have a quick lighting session of our own. Check out these pictures! This is Doug jumping from an elevated platform: This is me trying to look creepy because of the encroaching branches: These images were produced using an AlienBee 800 watt strobe at full power bounced from a reflective umbrella. It was placed about 4 feet from the subject and shot at ISO 100, 1/250 and f/20.0. These settings are relative to the sun's intensity. This session was totally fun (even though setting up was not). I highly encourage everyone to attend the LA Strobist event! It will be our first time :)Hope to see you Read more:Lighting

The workshop consists of valuable information regarding the wedding photography industry, photography concepts and post production secrets (namely Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator). The goal of this workshop is to demystify any complications a wedding photographer may have. Starting any business is not easy. Let us help you increase productivity and work flow.

Hyatt Regency Wedding Photography 2007-12-28 00:31:00 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 t Read more:Hyatt
Rancho Cucamonga Wedding Photography 2007-12-21 17:17:00 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,LawrenceFurious Photographers | LA's Wedding Photography Read more:Rancho

One of my new year's resolutions is to be more updated har harWithout 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 UnionStation

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 cr Read more:Engagement

San Gabriel Mission Wedding Photography 2007-11-17 14:46:00 San GabrielMission
NBC Seafood RestaurantAlthough the day looked gloomy in the morning, the warm sun decided to show itself by the time Lucy and Steven's wedding commenced. We had the privilege of photographing this intimate tea-ceremony at their respective homes.Following the ceremony, the wedding party decided to take some pictures at the San Gabriel Mission since it was adjacent to their reception hall - NBC Seafood Restaurant (Monterey Park). While at the San Gabriel Mission, we encountered several other wedding parties because of this location's popularity. As a result, we suggested to photograph on the railroad tracks - which were not very far - and in front of the local theater. The following slideshow is the one we displayed at their wedding reception per request of the bride.

Trash The Dress 2007-10-22 12:05:00 Free Trash
The Dress Sessions"Offering 3 free 'Trash The Dress' sessions!"Just about everyone is talking about the new buzz word, “Trash the dress” or “TTD.” It is a rather new concept whereas the bride seeks liberation from trashing her wedding dress. Thus far there have been a few reasons floating around why one would trash her wedding dress:To show her husband how committed she is because she will never need it againTo trash the reminder of what was considered a stressful dayNever need it again – food for mothsNot my picture and I do not know whose it isWhatever the justification may be, I am sure brides think it through thoroughly. Although I fancy the idea of taking creative photographs of beautiful brides in their wedding dresses, I still prefer the tradition of donating

Crowne Wedding PhotographyThe zesty wedding couple - Ashley and Andy - are USC fanatics. Since the entire Furious Photographers team consists of UCLA alumnus, it was weird to be in a house that had a USC flag, floor mat, blankets, etc. everywhere. Check out their sweet ride - Ford Mustang Shelby GT-HAshley and Andy had a traditional tea ceremony wedding. This consisted of respectful offering of tea to their relatives in exchange for their blessings. Aside from blessings and well-wishes, they also received gifts - Ashley and Andy displaying their "bling." :DThe wedding party decided to take some wedding pictures at Downtown Disney. As much as they wanted to take wedding photographs, many of them were glued to the big screen television at ESPN Zone
Rosarito Photography 2007-10-01 12:26:00 Rosarito PhotographyA good friend of mine, William, asked Julie and I to go to Rosarito last weekend. Having never been there, we consented! We stayed at a beach front house - 4 beds 3 baths. It was awesome! The west side of the house was all glass, which allowed maximum view of the ocean and sunset. My favorite time of the day was the latter - it lent the house a warm yellow glow for a stint. Friends and family all went to Rosarito to celebrate William's sister's birthday - Susan Vong (awesome girl).Here's a group picture of all of the ladies in RosaritoSince the patio was connected to the beach and the wind was mild, we sailed kites a lot. One experience worth noting was horse riding. We made arrangements with the vendor to bring horses to our patio. Riders get to ride along the

City Club Wedding Photography 2007-10-01 12:15:00 Janica and Marc Wedding PhotographyDowntown Los AngelesWalt Disney Concert HallCity Club on Bunker HillJanica and Marc (and their entourage) love to be in front of the camera. The entire day, they constantly checked with me, "so how many pictures did we take so far?" When we reached over the the 4,000 mark, they were like "yesss, right on." Overall, their crude humor and knee-slapping laughs made the hours pass too quickly. It was a blast working with this wedding party!The following are some of their countless wedding photographs that we took during the day. We visited UCLA, the Disney Concert Hall and the Wells Fargo Building where they held their reception on the penthouse floor (54th) called "Bunker Hill." From up above, cars looked like ants.Additionally, this couple can not part from

s was given the opportunity to be City Club's suggested vendor for wedding photography. They were very impressed with our teamwork as wedding photographers and our uncompromising quality in prints and albums. Since they needed fresh pictures of their service areas, they asked us to photograph their ceremony and reception halls. The following are just some of the pictures of the location. I highly suggest individuals to consider them for your wedding. They are on the 54th floor (penthouse) of the Wells Fargo building in Los Angeles. They have a breathtaking view of Downtown LA and beyond. My favorite time at the City Club is during sunset because it lends the room a warm yellow glow. City Club LobbyCity Club Receptio
Newport Beach Engagement Photography 2008-03-08 14:21:00 Hello,Flowers are blooming, birds are chirping, what is there not to like about Spring? Doug and I photographed a funky couple - Kim and Edgar - at NewportBeach
(near Corona Del Mar). This beach is a quiet retreat where Kim always goes to when she needs to escape the daily rat race. Newport Beach is also a great location for whale watching! Unfortunately, we did not see any whales. Instead, lots of dolphins greeted the couple near the coastline! They were surprisingly close! I do not have a super long telephoto lens so you can imagine how close they were if you see the picture below. This part of Newport Beach was so beautiful during the morning. I can see why they called it "Inspiration Point." Look at that! They were all playing! Check out the morning glow!For some reason, I Read more:Engagement
KaBOOM! in Los Angeles 2008-03-19 23:46:00 What is up beautiful people,The Furious Photographers were asked recently to photograph a charity event hosted by KaBOOM!. KaBOOM! has a phenomenal vision of installing safe playgrounds throughout the nation for children to play.Their slogan, "It starts with a playground" speaks for itself.

Painting With Light 2008-03-25 02:10:00 Hello,Here is a picture that Doug and I tried out on our friend, Elijah. It is a process called "Painting
With Light." I used to do it a lot at UCLA when I was bored at night. I would set a camera on a long exposure and draw pictures with a flashlight similar to that created in the current Sprint commercials. I was bored a lot of the time. In the picture above, we had Elijah sit very still on the sofa. Afterwards, I used a flashlight and painted areas that I wanted lit. Cool huh? Signing out,Lawrence
UCLA Wedding Photography 2008-03-24 01:28:00 Hello viewers and fellow Bruins,It was a good day to be a Bruin on March 15, 2008. UCLA just beat Stanford in Men's Basketball (67-64) and Angie (the lovely bride) just married Cheston (the charming groom) both on the same night. Both being UCLA alumni, we were thrilled to photograph their wedding, which had a UCLA theme. Weeks before the wedding, Cheston inquired into UCLA's Cheer Squad for "the bears" to come during the reception. Unfortunately, the department did not respond until minutes before the ceremony. As excited as Cheston was about the wedding, he was twice as excited when he received a text message saying, "the bear is coming." Needless to say, the Bruin (UCLA's mascot) joined them during the reception, which was a happy surprise for Angie. This is definitely a cool ide
