Hiring a very good wedding photographer

2010-03-22T19:33:00.000-07:00

Now that digital photography is here to stay, there seems like there are so many wedding photographers today. Many of todays brides are concerned with the overall costs of the wedding photographer and how many albums are included in their package.

Of course everyone is going thru trying times together. Some of my peers are finding cheaper album company's to cut their costs, these albums stink , I will never use this junk at my office.

We have a very strong balanced business that has been around for 25 years. I will always put our clients quality first and I can never hand you something I wouldn't put in my own home.

Does you wedding photographer retouch his images, what album company does he use ?

Does he know what he is doing ?? I could go on and on.... This is why people like me are not going to try to compete with these weekend warriors. If you are looking to hire a drive by shooter that is fine.. When you are ready to hire an artist, I would enjoy the opportunity to talk with you.

All the best,

Tony Florez

2009-12-02T21:56:00.000-08:00

How Did You Hear About Us: google maps search for "wedding photography, laguna beach"
Message: Hi Tony,I just discovered your work today, and I have to say your style is stunning and refreshing. I've spent the past week browsing local orange county wedding photographers, looking for possible assistant and second shooter positions, and I keep seeing the same wedding photos over and over again, just with a different photographer's name to credit. i've seen tons of photos with good composition, color and lighting, but very few that really made me stop and need to browse the photographer's entire portfolio. your work is inspiring, without a doubt, and gives me hope, seeing that fashion photography and wedding photography can be combined so successfully fused together. it's bold, for sure, and completely original. it's what I aspire to in my work, although i'm nowhere near your level of experience. its great to see someone actually pulling it off with flare. very impressive.if you're ever in need of an assistant or second shooter, definitely dont hesi!
state to contact me. I've been shooting for the past 10 years, as an amateur, and have recently committed myself to turning my passion into a career. I almost went to the NYC school of visual arts to pursue my interest in fashion photography, but my life took a different turn of events and led me out to california and the motorcycle industry. I've come back to photography after some time off and, despite exploring other career paths, have come to the realization that this is what I need to do. what you see on my website is the result of my work over the past 3 months of rediscovering my passion.I'm very much interested in learning and listening to any advice that you can offer, whether it be regarding technique, lighting, style, or the business of photography. I'm willing to commit myself to this %100, and am available any time.I look forward to hearing from you,~James Morowww.JamesMoro.net

Stylish Engagement Pictures

2009-06-13T21:56:00.000-07:00

Shooting fashion editorial spreads for several major magazines has really given me a distinctive advantage over most photographers that can think beyond a basic smile at the camera or pose. I am so tired of seeing BORING engagement pictures of couples posted on other sites. It is the photographers experience and rapport that is going to make your images rock or look like ..... It's so much fun having your client look at images of themselves that totally kick butt. This couple is getting married later this month at the beautiful Ritz Carlton in Laguna Niguel. Looking forward to working with them on their wedding day !!

Great Feedback

2008-03-26T15:42:00.000-07:00

This is an email I received. I'm happy that my style inspires and influences other photographers.

I feel blessed to be in a career that I truly love.

Here is the email...

Hi There Tony,

I just wanted to say that you inspired me years and years ago. I was practically a nobody in this area of Louisiana then. I was such a little newbie in photography back then and your work had evoked the passion in me wayyyy before the trendy southern Cali photogs came into the industry. I hadn't looked at your site in a couple of years. Even tho I don't really know you, I just thought I'd let you know how I felt. You, without knowing it, challenged me to become something greater within myself when I hit rock bottom in my life. I could see/feel the passion in your work. You have no idea how your work held my hand. How your images brightened my darkest days. And now, without art I don't make sense.

Just thought I'd let you know what a wonderful person you are...

Thank you

Katherine T

Spectacular night at the beach

2008-03-26T14:59:00.000-07:00

I really love to push my photography style !!! Great angles,awesome lighting, vibrant color and a totally bitchin mood !!!

Engagement Shoot at Rancho Los Lomas

2008-02-04T22:29:00.000-08:00

Here is another recent engagement photo shoot, taken on a cold windy day at Rancho Los Lomas. I do tell each client how important it is to have a professional makeup artist do your makeup. It truly makes such a difference in the final images.

I enjoy pushing myself to create fashion forward images, shots that show drama, not the smiling at the camera junk. Giving my clients more than what they expect is my goal during every shoot.

This photo shoot was for Coast Magazine's cover and editorial spread for February 2008. The magazine will be out in the first week of February. My feeling has always been to hire a wedding photographer with a high quality fashion flair....In general, shots of a bride alone should give you a good idea of the overall style of your potential wedding images. Don't settle for standard "looking at the camera" shots!

Here are some images I photographed at a wedding in Rome in early December. Rome, an extraordinary city full of culture, style and history. I'm looking forward to returning there in April.

Here's a cool engagement shoot I did in LA. The location was totally unique and made a great setting for some WACKY images. My clients are constantly looking to do something different and it is important I am ready to exceed their expectations.
