March 2010

It’s an awesome thing that I get to meet and photograph couples from all over the world. Part of it comes from living near a major international university, part of it comes from being a wedding photographer in a part of California rich with diversity, and part of it is probably just luck! And I am lucky, since I love to meet people from all over – it’s great! In just the last year, couples have shared their galleries with family and friends in Russia, India, Pakistan, England, China, Taiwan, Poland, Germany, Brazil, Ghana, Canada, and all over the US.

So, when I went shopping for an online wedding gallery and print ordering solution a few years ago, one thing I insisted on was that no matter where in the world my couples’ family and friends are located, their family and friends could order prints for direct shipment. In today’s world a bride and groom shouldn’t have to do any extra work to share prints with their family, no matter where they are at.

Other requirements were that the printing was absolutely top quality and the customer service fantastic. Further, the user experience had to be intuitive so that any friend or family member, regardless of their familiarity with computers, could view and enjoy a couple’s wedding and engagement photos – and if they wanted to order something – the ordering had to be simple to accomplish.

That all turned out to be a tall order!! Most solutions fell apart in one or more categories and few offered international ordering. But I kept looking and finally found a great place last year that has it all – a first-class pro lab, an intuitive user experience, great customer service, and the ability to place and fulfill orders anywhere!

I’ve been using it for a year now and it’s been great for couples. So, no matter where your family and friends are located:

Rome…

roman coliseum

Tongli China…

tongli china boats

or even Sacramento…

…your friends and family can enjoy your images and, if they love an image, they can order their own prints and you don’t have to do a bit of work to get their prints to them!

After a week of rain, the sun came out right on cue for Jan and Cliff’s bride and groom photos in Old Sacramento!

Meet Jan and Cliff!

Jan and Cliff got married up in the foothills above Sacramento, and thought it would be fun to get an urban feel for their after wedding photos.

This marble wall made a great backdrop for Cliff and Jan.

And for a photo of Cliff.

I love doing wedding photography in Old Sacramento. There are these great old buildings with cool colors.

This awesome red wall that we took advantage of for a bride photo…

And there are the trains!

A beautiful bride in front of a train is a concept I love to explore. Every time I get a chance, the image is always different – since every bride is different and her own story is unique.

After we had taken photos in Old Sacramento we thought we could also mix it up and get more after wedding photos at the California Capitol grounds.

I love taking wedding photos on the California Capitol grounds, too! It’s a great place for couple photos…

Still downtown Sacramento, back on the Capitol building grounds. I have no idea what Cliff told Jan.
