Serge + Tanya

Last week, I got a call that I would be visited by my sister and her husband. My first reaction? "We need to do a photoshoot for your guys". Well, alright, my first reaction was much more harsh than that. BUT, I knew I would love to do a shoot of them.

Serge and Tanya are a "one of a kind" couple. I love their energy, attitude and love for each other. And when I woke up today, I knew the shoot would consist of many fun and funny moments. And sure enough, I was right. Hope you like the pics!

Sip & Scan

Today, I had the chance to photograph the "Sip & Scan" event at Macy's of Roseville. Basically, about 35 couples came in to Macy's and registered for their weddings. But on top of that, Macy's had vendors come in and advertise themselves. From florists, to caterers, to DJ's, etc.

Luckily, I was one of the vendors. I set-up by table with my computer and business cards and played this little video clip to advertise myself.

To be honest, I had lots of fun photographing the event and meeting new people and talking to all the couples. Hopefully, it spreads the word about "Envy Me Photography". Enjoy the video!

Business Cards

Its been a week since I designed and ordered my business cards and finally, they have arrived. They are exactly what I pictured them to be. So, I'm happy with the result. Here's a couple pictures of them. Enjoy!

Mpix Pro

Ever since I started looking at photography magazines and reading about the best photographers in the world, I kept hearing them refer to Mpix Pro - a printing company.

Well last week, I finally decided to check them out and boy was I amazed. All the printing that they do is just amazing. From canvas prints to photo books to posters to printed DVD's.

Taking a quick look at their catalog, right there and then, I knew I wouldn't want to work with anyone but Mpix Pro.

As soon as I applied to become their client, they sent me a package welcoming me to Mpix Pro, including their catalog and 5 test prints, to ensure that what I'm seeing on the screen is exactly what they're printing. And I have to say, I love it!

Envy Me Photography

Yes, it is true! I am finally and officially a photographer. And for a year or so, I've been wanting to change my brand name to "Envy Me Photography". A name I thought of months and months ago.

Many of you have asked what the name stands for and/or what it means. The time has come to share my thoughts and ideas with you.

I love photography with passion. When I pick up that camera, I want to create art and capture unforgettable memories - memories that will last a lifetime. That when time passes by and years later, you will look back at the photographs, you will relive the moment. Images so great and amazing, people will envy you.

Nik + Tanya

When Tanya's mother came up to me, asking me for a huge favor, I couldn't say no. Tanya was raised with out a father. Her family has had a lot of rough times and they couldn't afford a big wedding.

There wasn't going to be hundreds of wedding guests, thousands of flowers and a huge wedding cake. In fact, there wasnt even going to be a wedding banquet.

Knowing all this, the least I could do, was take pictures of this couple. Hoping that someday, looking back at these pictures, they will tell of their wedding story to their grandkids.

There wasn't much time or much equipment to work with, but I tried my best. I hope you enjoy these pictures!
