Adorable, right?

Well, after taking a gander at her website, I must say her fun, energetic and often romantic images were definitely worthy of a spotlight. Take a look at these images I just happen to love and see if you don’t agree.

After discovering it’s origin and the other great visuals offered by Redleaf Studios, a spotlight became absolutely necessary. Not only can they capture the passion, romance, and heat between a loving couple, but they can also focus on the aesthetic details that make a special occasion so special.

And that is just a small taste of all they have to offer. You can see other examples, gain contact information, and area coverage information at the Redleaf Studios Website or their blog.

Well, after perusing through their blog, I must say that Jerry Yoon and his partner, Ingrid, certainly know how to capture the fun, the humanity, and the art of a moment. I know these moments exist, and I know that there is a host of beauty just waiting for someone to see it, but it takes a discerning eye to actually see and commemorate such beautiful moments on film. All we can say is, Wow. Jerry Yoon Photography is based in San Francisco, CA. Be sure to visit their blog for information about booking, pricing, and other areas covered.

Their use of space is incredible.

We absolutely love this one!

Poor little guy is tired out from all the partying

And of course, you must have all the candid blackmail photos possible…that guy is really feeling the music, wouldn’t you say?

I first stumbled upon the work of Andre Niesing while researching eco-friendly wedding venues.  Strange, I know.  The blog I came across featured some the most vibrant and fun photos of an out-door wedding…so much so that I had to redirect my research efforts.  As you can tell from the samples he so graciously provided, Andre has a unique talent for capturing the heart and essence of a moment. Whether in black and white, muted sepia, or full color, all of these images seem to entice the eye with a softly romantic yet luminous, slightly edgy and playful vivacity. Is it any wonder why we are so excited to share his work with all of you?

I absolutely love this non-traditional wedding party photo. They look like they are ready to take on the world!

Andre is based in Newport Beach, CA, but his shooting ranges across the entire globe. As with most photographers, he shoots more than just weddings, so if you like what you’ve seen here, check out the cutie and gorgeous video below. Also, visit his website and his blog for further examples of his work or to contact Andre to book his talent for your own special event.

Our first segment takes us to Louisiana and the work of Kelly Cathey. She was first brought to our attention via a co-worker who used her for her engagement photos. The session was so fun and non-cheesy that the photos came out absolutely natural and beautiful. She does engagement, bridal, wedding, maternity, baby, and family portraits, and each is as unique as the subject she captures. Take a look at some of her work, and if you’re interested, drop by her website. The samples below are just the tip of the iceberg.

1. What’s your primary style? Posed and formal, relaxed, photojournalistic, creative, artistic, candid, traditional?
2. Do you shoot in color or black and white? Or both? Do you shoot in a digital format that can create both color and b/w versions of the same picture?
3. What kind of input can we have on the direction of the shots? Can we give you a shot list to work from?
4. Are you the wedding photographer who will actually take our pictures? If not, can we meet the person who will be?
5. Can we meet any assistants who will also be our taking pictures?
6. How many times have you worked specifically as a wedding photographer? How many were similar to the size and formality of our wedding?
7. How many other events will you also photograph that weekend?
8. What kind of equipment will you bring with you? How intrusive will lighting, tripods, other equipment or assistants be?
9. Do you develop your own film?
10. Can we buy the negatives from you?

A great idea for your weddings are to get pictures of the bridal party in rare and humorous moments. These photos will help remind you of the joy that surrounded your event.
