(Ocean Blue Photography and Design) — Sat, 07 Oct 2017 15:15:00 GMT

We had the pleasure of photographing Roberto & Araceli's wedding at San Francisco's City Hall.

Most of the day, we tried to not get any random people in the background of Araceli & Roberto's wedding photos. That being said, I really like seeing those randoms, in this last photo. It gives an editorial feel and you really get the sense that they are in the city. There are so many great spots at San Francisco City Hall for photos...and the architecture is gorgeous! Roberto & Araceli made an excellent venue choice!!!

Meghan had great details for her winter wedding...including her beautiful bouquet.

Can you believe that this talented bride designed her own floral centerpieces? Plus, the table numbers were made by the groom and the pine cones were painted by his mother. We really enjoyed seeing all of their diy details come together to create beautiful winter tablescapes.

We love the gorgeous up-lighting Blake and Meghan had for their wedding reception!

Derrick & Brendy's Wedding

Winter weddings call for metallic details and this wedding was no exception. From the bride's champane gown to the silver cake, this wedding is sure to inspire you.

Isn't this bouquet just gorgeous?

The peacock feathers were given to them by a friend who has the birds.

Brendy's bridal shoes.

The metallic silver cake was adorned with purple and blue colors. These colors were repeated throughout the wedding decor.

The centerpieces featured silver peacock details which tied together the metallic theme with the peacock feathers in the bride's bouquet.

It was raining very heavily throughout Derrick & Brendy's wedding day, so we met back up with them, after their honeymoon, to take some formal portraits outside.

Brendy's favorite color is purple, so Derrick opted for a colored stone...which is so on trend right now.

We found some romantic sun-flare for the newlyweds.

Obviously, with the metallic theme, we needed to shoot at a metallic wall. :)

Last month, we had the pleasure of photographing Christian & Karen's wedding at Galletto Ristorante in downtown Modesto. We couldn't have asked for a more fashion forward couple! They were styled to perfection from head to toe...literally! Karen's Dolce & Gabbana multicolor pumps conveyed a look of timeless sophistication and allure with a stunning detailed Maiolica print throughout and a glamorous crystal broach, at the pointed toes, for added beauty. Christian looked straight out of a men's fashion ad with his Christian Louboutin Casanopump loafers. Detailed with polished gold and silvertone studs and finished with the signature red sole. The luxurious details didn't end there, take a look below to see some of our favorite photos from the day.

Sparks Ranch Resort sits on ten acres of lovely grounds, offering a private setting for a wedding.

This couple had so many unique touches.

We had the opportunity to shoot at so many great spots around the grounds.

Ashley is also a photographer, so she understands that the best time for natural light is during golden hour...

...the newlyweds were happy to sneak away for some formal portraits during sunset.

Shawn and Ashley spent the whole weekend, along with their friends and family, up at the resort. They surely enjoyed the pool area, which was then used as the setting for their wedding reception.

Big Basin Forest Engagement Photography

(Ocean Blue Photography and Design) — Sat, 09 Jul 2016 14:00:00 GMT

Michael and Emily often spend their weekends in Capitola, Ca...which is also going to be the location of their wedding, next year. They wanted to have forest engagement photography, which made Big Basin Redwoods State Park the perfect choice for their engagement session. We had a fantastic time exploring Big Basin with them! Big props to the both of them for being up for anything (and essentially to Emily for climbing up and over trees in a skirt and tall wedges)! We can hardly wait for their wedding!

Location:

Karly's sparkler portraits in Modesto, Ca

(Ocean Blue Photography and Design) — Wed, 29 Jun 2016 20:21:06 GMT

The summer has just began, and you know what that means: Sparkler pics are about to light up your social media feeds and the night! Sparkler pictures are fun and magical. I mean who doesn't love sparklers? They have become more and more popular at weddings and many use them to write words or draw during long exposures. We thought that we would get a jump on things and play with some sparklers of our own. Below are the results...and keep scrolling for some tips and tricks for capturing your own photos.

Ready to try it for yourself? Here's some tips and tricks for long-exposures:

Things you will need:

A LOT of sparklers.
A camera with manual settings.
A tripod.
A flash.
No ambient light.

Tips:

If you want to write a word, try to use one person per letter or use one person to write words in cursive. (An easy way to do this is to have the subject hold the sparkler and then have another person light another sparkler off of their already lite sparkler to write a word or make a shape. This makes it appear like the subject wrote the word, but in fact another person did. You can even come out from behind the camera, after tripping the shutter, and write the word yourself.)
Make sure to write the letters backwards so the camera sees the words the correct way.
Have your subject hold as still as possible, while the flash fires. The flash will help to stop their movement but it will not freeze them completely. So they still need to hold as still as possible.
If it's too dark to focus the camera, you can light a sparkler, hold it where you want your focus to be, and focus on it, or use a flashlight to set your focus before you start your exposure.
Shutter speed should be anywhere between 3 seconds and 30 seconds, depending on what kind of shape we wanted Karly to draw. To draw a simple circle, it wouldn't take any longer then 3 seconds. To draw something more elaborate, you would need more time. Since it is dark outside, you can get away with leaving your shutter open for a long time.
Count out loud, during the exposure, so everyone has the same timing, “One-thousand-one, one-thousand-two, one-thousand-three.” (The motion to draw or create letters should start on “one” and end on “three.”)
An aperture of anywhere between f/11 or f/16 works well. The higher your aperture the more your sparkler will be defined. If you are more wide open your sparkler will appear less defined and more like balls of light.

Steps:

Place your camera on a tripod.
Think about what you want to draw and set the shutter speed to last for the right amount of time.
Set your aperture.
Have your subject stand in place and focus on them.
Fire a test shot with your flash to make sure that everything is exposed properly, before using sparklers. Once you have a good looking photo, with out sparklers, you know that you are ready for the real shot.
Pose your subject, light the sparkler, release the shutter, your flash will fire. Once the flash has gone off, let the sparkler movement begin.

Apple Hill Engagement Session

(Ocean Blue Photography and Design) — Wed, 16 Mar 2016 22:52:57 GMT

We were excited to hear that Meghan & Blake chose Apple Hill for their engagement session location, because we had never been there and really wanted to check it out. The couple visits Apple Hill every year, so it was very special for them to be able to pose for engagement photos here. Apple hill did not disappoint. There were so many awesome photo locations! We had a blast driving around with Meghan, Blake, and Blake's mom, visiting farms, orchards, and wineries. It was an absolute pleasure taking their dreamy, rustic engagement pictures in Apple Hill. We can't wait for their wedding in December!

Miners Foundry Wedding in Nevada City, California

(Ocean Blue Photography and Design) — Tue, 23 Feb 2016 20:38:34 GMT

Darren & Monica's Wedding

Monica's beautiful bridal bouquet.

Perfect bouquet for a winter wedding bridesmaid. This one belongs to Monica's maid of honor, Shannon.

Monica, getting her dress laced up, by her mother. - Some photos are too pretty not to repeat. We have been doing this shot for over 10 years. Although, we capture new and unique photographs for every wedding, some photographs stand the test of time. If we are photographing your wedding and your dress laces-up, we are going to capture this photo for you...because who wouldn't want this?

As soon as we pulled into the parking lot for the National Hotel, we saw this little balcony and though "humm, wonder if that's attached to their room?"...and it was!!!

Monica mentioned that she liked the street lamps in Nevada City, so we made sure to include one in their portraits.

Downtown Nevada City has an endless supply of photo opportunities.

When we saw this wall, we knew we needed to shoot there!

There was a light rain all through Darren & Monica's pre-ceremony portraits, but they didn't let it bother them.

We had the opportunity to shoot at so many spots before the wedding. Thanks so much to Darren and Monica for giving us so much time for portraits!!

The Upper Gallery at Miners Foundry is a great setting for a wedding! Darren and Monica did a wonderful job of making this space their own with the addition of trees and rustic flower arrangements.

The Stone Hall was the perfect setting for this gorgeous reception. It was built in 1859 using native stone and heavy exposed beams. Today, it features also include charming chandeliers, a working stone fireplace, and antique furnishings.

After their ceremony, the rain was heaver then before, but the nice people at Nevada City Winery invited us into their barrel room for portraits.

The newlyweds clear umbrella made for a super cute prop!!!

Destination Winter Wedding in Yosemite National Park at Majestic Yosemite Hotel / the Ahwahnee Hotel

(Ocean Blue Photography and Design) — Wed, 17 Feb 2016 15:00:00 GMT

Philip & April's Wedding

How cute is this? April has dog tags attached to her bouquet. Included is hers, her husband Phil's, and both of their father's.

We are very impressed with the bouquets that April and her maid of honor made for themselves!

This is Phil and April's wedding rings, on top of the journal that April put her note for Phil to read before their ceremony. Phil's note to April was on a scroll, that his best man Mike delivered to her room.

Phil with his cool pocket watch.

April and her father. One of our favorite father/daughter photos, ever!!

Phil and April, through the leaves and branches.

Can you spot the waterfall, in the background? Phil & April had so many personal details to make their day uniquely theirs...including the Hawaiian wedding leis, made by one of their guests, that they are wearing in this photo. Phil and April are both in the Navy and they met while serving in Hawaii. So if you were wondering how Yosemite in the winter and Hawaiian leis go together, after learning a bit about the newlyweds, it makes perfect sense.

The snow covered trees are just gorgeous!!!

We have always wanted to photograph a wedding in Yosemite National Park and we finally got to. This wedding had everything; snow covered landscape, great natural light, and a truly wonderful couple! We really couldn't have asked for anything more....that is until the newlyweds were approached by a deer, during portraits!!! It was such an incredible experience!

We are always willing to take photo suggestions for the couple. This was a request from Phil & April.

It's easy to see how in love Phil & April are.

When you get in a snow fight, on your wedding day.

The Mural Room at The Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite was the perfect setting for Phil & April's intimate wedding reception.

You gotta love the cake cutting, when it's done with a sword!! This is Phil & April's cake, bouquet, glasses, and sword.

We LOVE Phil & April's wedding bands that are inlaid with wood!

Wedding Reception at Hilmar Cheese Co. with Bridal Portraits in Turlock at Stan. State

(Ocean Blue Photography and Design) — Wed, 03 Feb 2016 22:05:40 GMT

Sophia & Apolinar's Wedding

How cute are these shoes? Sophia, picked them out to match her groom's shoes.

Here's Sophia's dress; hanging at her parents house.

Stunning wedding rings sitting on flowers.

Stanislaus State can be a very busy portrait location on Saturday's. Sometimes we have to take a little stroll.

If we could bottle up this light and carry it with us everywhere we went, we would be the happiest photographers alive.

We are pretty obsessed with modern buildings. Add newlyweds to a metal wall and its perfection!

When there's wind on your wedding day...just go with it!

You just got to love the beautiful grounds at Hilmar Cheese Company. Sophia said that she found us on their preferred vendor list...so that's cool!

When a location has a beautiful waterfall, it needs to be included!

When it was time for Apolinar's portraits, his bride asked if we could place the red barn, which was across the street, in the background. We answered, yes! Here is the result...it worked out great!

Night Engagement Session at The Living Desert Wild Lights in Palm Desert

(Ocean Blue Photography and Design) — Tue, 22 Dec 2015 20:29:24 GMT

Last week, we had the pleasure of photographing Ryan and Katarina's night engagement session at The Living Desert's Wild Lights display in Palm Desert, Ca. Sometimes things just work out for the best. We had not set out to do a night engagement session, but with the winter days being so short, it can be hard to find a time, with daylight, when everyone has time in their busy schedules. Fortunately, the WildLights Festival at The Living Desert was in full swing. With over 750,000 twinkling lights illuminating the park after dark, this annual event turns the desert into a winter wonderland. The extensive light display created the perfect setting for a romantic engagement session.

Jill's Senior Portraits in downtown Modesto, Ca

(Ocean Blue Photography and Design) — Thu, 01 Oct 2015 21:31:46 GMT

When Jill told us that she wanted to use Downtown Modesto as the location for her high school senior portraits, we got really excited for her shoot! We love using architectural elements for backgrounds and downtown provides an urban, edgy look, that’s great for senior photos. Jill said that she had scouted some spots that she liked and we were very intrigued to see which ones we had used before and if she would introduce us to any new spots…which she did! Even though we photograph downtown often, we still love to explore. Jill did a great job matching her outfits to each location that we used! We are so excited to have her as one of our class of 2016 high school senior models!!!

SF has so much to offer and provides such a wide array of photography settings, which we really took advantage of for Katie’s senior pictures. We had the most perfect day for her session and utilized four fantastic locations! There were so, so many images from this incredible portrait session that it was truly hard to pick only a handful for this post!

Ways to Incorporate Your Pet Into Your Wedding Day!

(Ocean Blue Photography and Design) — Thu, 23 Jul 2015 14:00:00 GMT

We love our pets like children and include them in as much as we can. If you feel the same about your pets, then you might be considering including them in your wedding. You know your pet better than anyone else, so be honest and ask yourself if including your pet in your big day is a realistic option. Is your pet shy or does it get stressed easily? You will have enough to worry about, you wouldn't want your pet to take away from your day.

Here are 3 ways that you can include your pet in the festivities, without actually bringing them to your wedding.
1. Guys, if you haven't popped the question yet, you can use your pet to propose.
2. Include them in your save the date or engagement photos.
3. If you are getting ready at home, take a break from your pre-wedding beauty routine to show your pet some love. Cuddling with a fluffy pet is one surefire way to get rid of wedding day jitters.

If you decide that your pet will be an asset on your big day, be sure that your venue is pet friendly. Then, designate a handler. Have someone on hand to do the "dirty work": feed your dog, take it to potty, and in a worst case scenario, take it home. You will not regret having an extra hand!

Next decide what role you would like your pet to play. Maybe you want to keep it low key and just want to have your pup around. Or are you going to make your dog a member of your wedding party; ring bearer, "Best Dog", "Hound of Honor"? Having a young attendant escort your pet down the aisle is a great option for an animal that might be distracted by your guests....it's also very cute! It's a good idea to rehearse with your pet. This way they know what will be expected of them on the big day.

Now it's time for the fun part...What will your pet wear? A simple bow tie is a great way to give your pet a wedding ready look that they won't detest. Consider customizing your pet's look to match the wedding party's attire. Sometimes the only thing that your pint-size pooch needs is an accent in your signature shade. Draw inspiration from your bouquet and the groom's boutonniere when picking flowers for your pet. Another option, that you may not have thought about is that your something blue doesn't have to actually be on you. How darling it would be to have a blue collar and leash? Maybe your pet prefers the finer things in life. Formal attire doesn't need to be limited to you and your groom! A top hat and vest are sure to be a crowd pleaser.

A couple of last thoughts to consider. Be sure to visit the groomer to get your pet looking it's best. Lastly, if your pet is furry, you may want to include a lint roller in your day-of supplies.

Have you ever been in the waiting room of a doctors office thinking "this wall art sure looks out of date"? We have! It's not fun going to the doctor's office, there could at least be some beautiful soothing art on the walls. Below is an album, that we put together, for just that. Maybe you work at a doctor's office that could use some new art. Well, take a look through this album and be sure to show your office manager.

Tips for a Better Engagement Session

(Ocean Blue Photography and Design) — Thu, 02 Jul 2015 14:00:00 GMT

Engagement sessions are a great way for us to get to know one another. Everyone responds differently, when in front of the camera. On your wedding day things can be a bit rushed and nerves might be high, so becoming comfortable with each other beforehand is priceless!

1. Ladies, wear more makeup than you usually do. Even though you may feel like it looks too fake or heavy in person, it will look better on camera. It is even a good idea to schedule your wedding make-up trial for the day of your engagement session.

2. Wear clothes that fit you well. Nothing too baggy or too tight as these things are accentuated on camera and usually end up not being very flattering.

3. Wear some color. Gone are the days where couples wear matching white shirts and jeans! Rich colors look fantastic; plum purple, deep red, dark green, etc. You and your love should coordinate your colors without being too "matchy matchy".

4. Accessorize! Belts, hats, scarves, and necklaces. Don't underestimate the power of some cool shoes at a photo shoot. Show your personality with your accessories. Look at some pictures in the style magazines if you are having trouble putting together a look.

5. Bring multiple options for outfits. It is always good to have choices.

6. Men, be aware of your socks. There is nothing worse than a great shot of you two with some white tube socks taking all the attention away.

7. Men, you might not want to wear your watch. Ok, I know I said to accessorize, but unless you have a Rolex, you may want to leave your watch at home. Watches can catch the light and become a big shiny distracting object.

8. Relax. The most important thing to remember is to try to relax. Focus on each other, not the camera. We will direct you and help you along the way. If we are not saying anything, just keep doing what your doing, it's looking great!

9. Some wonderful affectionate gestures that look great on camera...Guys: kiss her cheek or forehead. Girls: smile or close your eyes when he does. Whisper something sweet or dirty into each other's ears.

10. Remember that you are in love! That is why you are doing this. It is more about that than looking perfect. Be yourself and let us take care of the rest.

Not your average bridal boudoir photo ideas & how to feel confident during your boudoir session

(Ocean Blue Photography and Design) — Thu, 25 Jun 2015 14:00:00 GMT

Wedding season is in full swing...and so is bridal boudoir! Bridal boudoir is a fun way to capture that bride-to-be glow you’ve been sporting since the day you said “yes”. Not ready to strip down to your underthings for the camera? Or what if lingerie isn’t really your thing? Are you wanting something more sweet than sexy? Who's to say you can’t have a bridal boudoir shoot to remember! Photography is all about perspective. We can capture a beautiful shot of your lips or your legs draped over a vintage lounge. Consider detail shots of your wedding lingerie and accessories you’ll be wearing on your big day. We can keep the focus on the the veil, the engagement ring, the shoes. You can opt for romantic shots that read as sophisticated, elegant, pretty. And who says lingerie has to be involved at all? You can create a sexy boudoir vibe all your own in wearing casual and cozy favorites. Bridal boudoir shoots are all about what makes you feel beautiful. The best photos happen when you’re relaxed, happy, and most important, comfortable. Here's a few tips to consider before you get in-front of the lens:

1. Prepare by finding photo inspiration - Search Pinterest, blogs, and magazine editorials as references. Share your ideas for shots you’d love to do…and those you’re not comfortable with. This will ensure that we are on the same page.

2. Set the mood - Make a playlist of your favorite music and have it available to listen to during your session.

3. Personalize - Bring meaningful props. As mentioned, wedding accessories are great! You can also consider bringing something that belongs to your man; shirt, tie, hat, etc.

4. Be confident - Chances are, you’ve been working hard at the gym and eating healthy before the big day – feel proud of how great you look! Before your shoot, treat yourself to some spa-worthy pampering. A manicure and pedicure can go a long way in helping you feel your best on shoot day. Professional hair and makeup is another pretty way to get camera-ready.

Importance of Wedding Albums - Why we include a wedding album in every package

(Ocean Blue Photography and Design) — Thu, 18 Jun 2015 14:30:00 GMT

Many couples cherish their wedding day as one of the most important days of their lives! Digital images and prints are definitely an important piece that allow you to reflect back on your wedding day, but an album is the most important piece to focus on. An album is a treasured heirloom! Some couples might display it on a coffee table to look through regularly or some may take it out for special occasions like wedding anniversaries.

Unfortunately, when wedding costs start adding up, some couples may be tempted to move albums down on their priority list. In our opinion, this is a huge mistake. There is no reason why you should pass up the opportunity to have a personalized, high-quality, album telling the story of your most important day. Think of your future. Imagine your children and grand children, in years to come, and what a treasure it will be to show off your wedding photos and describe the memories you have of that most special day. How wonderful it is to have a physical family heirloom (not just digital files) to pass down to your kids...displaying the day when their parents lives became one!

In fact, we believe in this so strongly that we include an album in every single package we offer! Still not convinced that you NEED a wedding album? Here's some more on why digital images are not enough...

When looking for a wedding photographer, most couples want to know if the digital images are offered in the wedding packages. In fact, many couples plan to only purchase the digital images and aren’t interested in anything else. The sad truth is that these well-intentioned couples who only get the digital images never print their wedding photos at all, or only print a few for display. We too are guilty of having hard-drives full of photos that we simply haven’t taken the time to order prints of yet.

Hopefully, you can see why a professional wedding album is of the utmost importance. Even if you never do anything except store it in a closet, you will still have images to look at and enjoy years from now with no additional work whatsoever. After your wedding, we will custom design your wedding album in a beautiful storybook format. We only offer professional, high quality, albums made with archival inks and papers that are created to last for generations with proper care. We want the memories of your wedding day to be seen and enjoyed by your family for years to come. Make a beautiful album one of your priorities. We promise you will not regret it.

Classic Car Pinup Photography in downtown Modesto, Ca

Jenna & Shawn's Wedding at the Hotel del Coronado

(Ocean Blue Photography and Design) — Sat, 30 Aug 2014 01:47:06 GMT

This summer we had the pleasure of photographing Jenna and Shawn's "Tiffany Blue" wedding at California’s Iconic Hotel Del Coronado. Considered one of America's most beautiful beach resorts, it is situated along 28 oceanfront acres on the quaint island of Coronado in San Diego. Built in 1888 and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1977, it is one of the most celebrated structures in the World. The Del, or Hotel Del, as the locals call it, is also one of the largest wooden structures in existance, and an outstanding example of beautiful and graceful Victorian architecture. In fact, the Travel Channel rated Hotel Del Coronado the number-one wedding destination in America. Jenna and Shawn fell in love with the resort's magical architecture and antiquities. Their ceremony was scheduled to take place on the Windsor Lawn overlooking the beach....but would you believe it?...We got rained out!!! When you are planning your dream wedding for August in San Diego, rain is the last thing on your mind. Who would have even thought about rain?....Not us, not the bride and groom, not the wedding planner, not the location, nobody! We checked the weather for weeks and everything looked great. Then, the day of, would you believe it? Rain!!! We would have been fine with roughing it in the rain (we have photographed in the rain before and we even photographed an outdoor wedding during a snow blizzard), but the ceremony was moved to the world-famous Coronet Room, at the last moment. The Coronet Room is known for its dramatic sugar-pine ceiling and whimsical crown shaped chandelier, designed by Wizard of Oz author L. Frank Baum. Hundreds of white petals lined the aisle to greet Jenna as she made her way down to her groom, Shawn. We were planning for bright and sunny and ended up with dark and romantic. In the end what's important is Jenna and Shawn vowed to spend their lives together. After the ceremony, the rain had cleared up enough for everyone in attendance to release a beautiful monarch butterfly. It was an amazing site to see and to top it off, a butterfly even landed on Jenna's dress! The Hotel del Coronado's elegant ballroom features crystal chandeliers, tapestry draperies, built-in stage, and panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean. Jenna and Shawn added their own personal touch with exquisite center pieces, tiffany blue linens, and stunning up-lighting. This wedding was truly full of surprises! While all of the wedding party made their grand entrance into the reception through the main doors, the newlyweds appeared, in a flash, on the stage!!! Everyone clapped with excitement as they went straight into their first dance as husband and wife. The surprises didn't stop there. During toasts, Jenna and Shawn received the keys to their first house...and before cutting their gorgeous cake, Shawn serenaded Jenna with a love song. Everything came together beautifully and we are so happy that we got to be a part of their big day!

Hannah's Rock The Frock Photoshoot - Modesto Prom Photography

(Ocean Blue Photography and Design) — Sat, 19 Jul 2014 18:45:00 GMT

Do you have a closet full of beautiful bridesmaid dresses, prom dresses, or other formal gowns that you only wore once? What if there was another use for them? Well, now there is! Introducing...

Rock The Frock Photoshoots

What is Rock The Frock? It refers to a style of photography that contrasts elegant clothing with an environment in which it is out of place. (It is generally shot in the style of fashion or glamour photography and the gown worn may effectively be ruined in the process by getting it wet, dirty, or, in extreme circumstances, tearing or destroying the garment.)

So get back into those dresses that you spent a pretty penny on and get some awesome photos in the process!!!

Bohemian Forest Themed Cherish the Dress Wedding Photoshoot

(Ocean Blue Photography and Design) — Tue, 17 Jun 2014 16:30:00 GMT

In planning this woodsy boho chic bridal shoot, we had a vision of a bohemian bride in an enchanted forest. Cortney, our hair and makeup artist, helped us develop the soft bridal looks with a boho chic vibe, bold glamorous details, and bright pops of color which resulted in this stunning bohemian-style wedding inspiration. Ashley's hair looked effortlessly gorgeous. Her long flowing locks adorned with a sparkling tiara evoke thoughts of a fairy princess...a perfect look for the ceremony. Then, a more relaxed look for the reception, a soft and romantic low updo that is not too structured, topped with a spectacular floral headband. For a bohemian forest themed wedding we loved the simplicity of this free-spirited chiffon wedding gown. It's fitted at the waist and a bride would be comfortable in it all day long.

Behind the scenes look into our Modesto Photo Studio

(Ocean Blue Photography and Design) — Tue, 10 Jun 2014 16:45:00 GMT

Part of being a good photographer involves continual growth and the ability to evolve. We love lighting and trying out new photography techniques. Here's a sneak peek into our bridal shoot with Ashley and a look at some of the photography techniques we used, ranging from classic to cutting edge.

Rembrandt lighting is a classic studio portrait photography technique. It's named after the Dutch painter Rembrandt who often painted his subjects with an illuminated triangle under the eye (on the darker side of their face). The look is popular because it's capable of producing images which appear both natural and compelling. We achieved the look by using one light (on our subject) and a reflector. To add even more interest, we placed two additional lights on the background and put blue gels on them.

Here we used a ring light to create a glamorous look. Ring lights are very common in the fashion industry and are known for their "signature" lighting pattern of the halo shadow around the model.

For this photo we did a bit of experimentation with a new photography technique that adds 'fashion lens blur’ or ‘flare’ to photos. By holding different objects in front of the lens you are able to catch light and create some lens diffraction/flare. This technique can be called "lens chimping", “hurding”, or "prisming". The results are pretty interesting. By just reflecting images in front of your camera lens it creates special effects and adds a bit of mystery and excitement. We really had fun playing with the unpredictable colors and textures it creates, pulling from the actual environment we were shooting in.

Vintage Romance Themed Bridal Photoshoot

(Ocean Blue Photography and Design) — Tue, 03 Jun 2014 17:45:00 GMT

2014 Wedding Trend: Vintage Romance

The vintage romance wedding theme is a very popular wedding trend this season. Cyndal's bridal session oozes with vintage romance. The dress is vintage and features beautiful lace applique and pearl embellishments. Bridal accessories are simple and elegant. Emily did a wonderful job with keeping Cyndal's hair and make-up right on trend. A sleek, low up-do is made even more stylish with a little root-lift at the back and a sophisticated side-parting, finished with curls through the ends. Minimal eye make-up works well with this look. Emily chose a soft cat-eye. The great thing about cat-eye liner is that while it's so popular right now, it's also a retro look, so it reads as totally classic in your photos and works with almost any wedding gown. Along with cat-eye makeup, another big makeup trend on the spring 2014 runways is pretty pink lips. Wedding experts agree that 2014 will be the year of true romance. Weddings are going softer and sweeter. Are you ready for this swoon-worthy trend? We are!

A blog post for the Groom

(Ocean Blue Photography and Design) — Mon, 30 Sep 2013 23:29:41 GMT

Almost everything wedding related is geared towards brides...and let's face it, the bride does make the final decision on most of the wedding planning details. From the theme to the colors, she plans the day to a "T". Your bride may even pick what suit or tux you wear for your big day. You are probably fine with this...it may even be a relief that your main responsibility is just showing up on time and saying "I do", but you might be wondering how you can let your personal style show through. Well, it occurred to me, last night while watching the Breaking Bad finale, that there is one very specific area, in the wedding planning process, where the groom can truly express who he is and let his colors shine...the cufflink! Yes, they may be small, but they certainly are not lacking character. Here's a look at some cufflinks that will let your personality shine.

For the Breaking Bad fan:

Maybe you want your own initials:

Jahaziel & Lacey's Vintage 1920's Inspired Wedding - The Grand 1401 in Fresno, Ca

(Ocean Blue Photography and Design) — Sun, 25 Aug 2013 01:59:21 GMT

For Jahaziel & Lacey’s wedding, we headed down to Fresno, Ca. The day started with getting ready photos at their respective parents houses. This fashionable couple had wonderful vintage 1920's details including tux with tails for the groom, bird cage veil for the bride, and beautiful cameo and feather embellishments on the waist band of the bridesmaids dresses...which were added by one of the bridesmaids! Then it was off to the Kingdom Hall for the wedding ceremony. After they tied the knot, we made a stop at the Woodward Park Shinzen Japanese Garden for formal portraits. As we walked the winding pathways, there were photo ops around every curve. From the double-moon bridge, to the waterfall, it was truly picturesque. We even had some peacocks willing to strike a pose. Our final stop of the day was The Grand 1401. Built in 1922, the building had the perfect 1920's feel. The main floor ballroom was truly elegant...love the chandeliers! The newlyweds cake had amazing vintage details as-well. True to the theme, music for the first dance was 1920's jazz. We really enjoyed capturing their big day. Thanks to all of the wonderful family members and friends who were so welcoming!

Kris & Amy's wedding at The Reata in Oakdale, Ca.

(Ocean Blue Photography and Design) — Thu, 22 Aug 2013 21:30:40 GMT

Kris & Amy tied the knot in a beautiful spring wedding at The Reata in Oakdale, California. Every wedding is unique and different … that’s part of what we love about photographing weddings! And it’s particularly fun when the couple infuses what they love in every day life into the wedding day. As you scroll down to see their wedding album, you will notice a cigar bar and a wonderfully designed dessert table with cupcakes, candy bar, and featuring a classic wedding cake with a football themed topper. The couple held their ceremony in the gorgeous wedding garden. Then everyone headed inside to the ballroom for the reception. The blue up-lighting on the red brick walls was exquisite! The day turned out absolutely wonderful for the newlyweds.

Paul & Sonia's Wedding at Galletto in Modesto

(Ocean Blue Photography and Design) — Wed, 01 May 2013 17:30:00 GMT

Paul & Sonia had a vision of a soft, romantic, crimson-saturated wedding which came to realization this spring. Our session started with the bridal party as they got ready for the big day in a beautiful double suite at the DoubleTree in downtown Modesto, Ca. Sonia's hair was styled into a smooth and classic updo with dainty tiara to complete the look. The bling didn't stop there; she chose bold 6-inch glittery silver heels and her elegant bridal bouquet consisted of red roses with jeweled centers. After everyone was ready, we took the girls and guys out separately for some wedding party photos…then it was off to the wedding and reception location, just a couple of short blocks away. Paul & Sonia wanted a downtown wedding filled with charm, so they chose Galletto Ristorante as their venue. The beautiful covered patio provided the elegant and warm feeling they were looking for. Red rose petals lined the aisle and beautiful candle vases added a soft glow. After the wedding ceremony, the space was transformed for the reception. Round tables with red linens were topped with chic centerpiece of sparkling vases filled with red roses and surrounded by candles. To compliment the bold red decor, the guest book table and hors d'oeuvres tables had contrasty black and white damask print on the table linens which gave the space a dramatic flair. The three tier wedding cake, made of square layers, was topped with a silver "C" for the couples last name. At the end of the night, we went out to the street for one last shot of the newlyweds surrounded by the lights of the city and the glow of cars passing by.

Jeremy & Ashley's Country Western Wedding in Stevinson California

(Ocean Blue Photography and Design) — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 13:21:00 GMT

We were whisked away to a bygone era for Jeremy and Ashley's wedding and reception at the Double T Ranch in Stevinson. Tony and Carol Azevedo have gone to great extents to make this an awesome central valley location for weddings. From the horse drawn carriage to the History Train, the ghost town to the barn reception area, everyone was in for a boot scootin' boogie time! Ashley's bridesmaids wore hot pink halter dresses. Jeremy and the groomsmen wore jeans and brown suede vests. Everyone in the wedding party wore cowboy boots. To go along with the theme the tables were decorated with mason jars and wild flowers in tin buckets.

Eric & Cindy's Beach Wedding in Monterey at The Sanctuary Beach Resort

(Ocean Blue Photography and Design) — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 13:00:00 GMT

On a beautiful sunny day in September we had the great privilege of photographing Eric & Cindy's destination wedding in the Monterey area. Anyone that's ever been to this area knows it can be hit or miss when it comes to sunny days in Monterey. Everyone was super thankful for that fact. Eric and Cindy could have picked any beach in the Los Angeles area where they are from but it is easy to see why they chose The Sanctuary Beach Resort. The pristine views from the bluff overlooking the ocean speak for themselves. Weddings can be super stressful so it helps to have someone like Hana, the resort wedding coordinator, to help the day run smoothly. The reception was on the property at Kula Ranch Island Steakhouse. Friends and family enjoyed the delicious food, including the cake which looked exactly like a photo album with pictures of Eric and Cindy printed on the cake. Chapsticks and matchbooks made great useful favors.

Sam & Melissa's Fall Garden Wedding in Tahoe City at Tahoe Tree Company

(Ocean Blue Photography and Design) — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 10:00:00 GMT

Sam and Melissa traveled all the way from Southern California to Tahoe City for their destination wedding. The beautiful fall colors made it well worth the trip. To top it off Tahoe Tree Company has a gorgeous garden with pristine views in every direction you look. We loved all the personal touches from the mason jars with flowers to the bird-shaped salt and pepper shakers. Sam & Melissa collect ornaments from their travels so they decided to give all their guests a Lake Tahoe ornament with a message on the back thanking them for their attendance. To go with the garden theme, the seating assignments were arranged in flower pots. Friends and family had a chance to do some finger painting, in lieu of a guestbook the newlyweds had everyone leave their finger print on a painted tree.

Joe & Missy's Wedding in Kauai, Hawaii

(Ocean Blue Photography and Design) — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 13:12:00 GMT

Seven years ago today, we were standing on the beach of the Na Pali Cost in Kauai, Hawaii with Joe and Missy for their intimate ceremony. Back in 2004, shooting on film was the industry standard for photographing weddings. Armed with a Mamiya RZ67 medium format camera and a Nikon F3 35mm camera we shot on Kodak Portra 160 Film. Images were then scanned with an epson film scanner and edited in photoshop to create the looks you see below.

(Ocean Blue Photography and Design) — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 12:01:00 GMT

Val & Sasha had their fairytale inspired wedding at Arden Hills Resort & Spa in Sacramento, CA. The Villas at Arden Hills are fit for a Princess. This world-class Tuscan-style bed and breakfast, features a sweeping iron and marble staircase, wood beam ceilings, royal arched doorways, large mirrors, and stone fireplaces in every room! Sasha looked stunning in her Disney Princess taffeta gown featuring multiple layers of dreamy gossamer tulle. The embroidered lace and crystal beaded bodice with rose detail add an elegant touch. She even had glass slippers to complete the look! The ceremony featured songs from different Disney movies and every table at the reception had its own Disney Princess (and her Prince) center piece on a turntable, spinning for all to enjoy. After Val & Sasha danced their first dance as husband and wife (a classic waltz) Sasha changed into another gown so she could more freely enjoy the rest of her romantic day.

Scott & Lindsay's Rustic Themed Wedding at The Reata in Oakdale

(Ocean Blue Photography and Design) — Sun, 03 Jul 2011 19:33:00 GMT

We always get excited when we find out we will be photographing a wedding at The Reata in Oakdale, Ca. Everywhere you look is another photo opportunity. This was especially true for Scott & Lindsay's rustic themed wedding. From the tree branches on tables, to the center pieces and the tree trunks they were sitting on, to the favors on everyone's plates; chocolate candies in birds nests. Lindsay looked beautiful in her vintage inspired ivory lace dress with touches of pink embroidery. To add to the theme, all the bridesmaids wore neutral tones of brown and ivory. The ceremony was short but sweet. When they were announced husband and wife, it was easy to see how happy and in love they are. When entering the reception, the newlyweds went straight into their first dance, which was followed by dinner. The dinner menu included; mixed field greens, chef's renowned sauteed mushrooms, sesame chicken, and tri-tip (roasted to perfection). Children really enjoyed the table full of cup cakes labeled "Just for Kids". After dinner Lem from L.A. DJ kept the dance floor packed. Grandparents even got in on the action.

Steve and Lisa's vintage inspired wedding took place at the Hyatt Regency Sacramento. After the ceremony the wedding party was whisked away in a vintage firetruck which took them to the nearby fireman's memorial for portraits. This was a great personal touch because Steve is a fireman...not to mention how great Lisa's red hair looked with the firetruck :) For the reception, guests only needed to travel 15 floors up to reach the Capitol View room with floor to ceiling windows featuring breathtaking views of Sacramento, the State Capitol, and Capitol Park.

We always enjoy photographing weddings at the beautiful Diablo Grande Golf & Country Club in Patterson, Ca. and John & Vicki's wedding was no different.

The wedding celebration was centered around friends and family. Vicki's son read a scripture during the ceremony and her daughter captivated all in attendance with a beautiful song.

Josh & Ashley's Turlock Wedding at On Broadway With Two Guys

(Ocean Blue Photography and Design) — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 00:45:00 GMT

Downtown Turlock is transforming into the Central Valley’s preferred wedding destination. This proved true for Josh and Ashley's wedding. Their wedding and reception took place in the heart of downtown Turlock, directly across the street from Turlock City Hall, at a wonderful brick building called On Broadway With Two Guys. Guests sat at their dinner tables during the ceremony, for this outdoor wedding. Ashley chose a beautiful mix of bright colorful flowers for the bouquets and table arrangements. A rainbow of petals lined the isle and were sprinkled on tables with tea lights to complete the romantic look.

Robert and Arielle's special day is a great example of why rain doesn’t ruin your wedding. We used umbrellas for a fun photo prop and then the sky cleared to reveal a beautiful blue!

Will & Maura's Santa Monica Wedding with Reception at Ritz Carlton Marina del Rey

(Ocean Blue Photography and Design) — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 23:30:00 GMT

Will and Maura's intimate, mid September, ceremony took place at St. Monica Catholic Church, just blocks from the newlyweds apartment in Santa Monica, Ca. Maura always knew that she wanted her wedding reception to take place at the Ritz Carlton in Marina del Rey and it was easy to see why. Guests enjoyed exquisite appetizers while overlooking amazing views of the marina. They used the softest shades of cream and champagne with touches of pink and lots of candlelight to complete the luminous look. Every detail was created to make their guests feel welcomed and loved. One unique touch was placing the logos of their home town baseball teams on the cake. The bride and groom were serenaded by acoustic guitars as they shared their first dance as husband and wife.

Bill & Barbara's Whitmore Mansion Wedding in Ceres, Ca.

(Ocean Blue Photography and Design) — Sun, 03 Oct 2010 23:15:00 GMT

Happy 1 year anniversary Bill and Barbara!

In the heart of the Central Valley sits a historic Victorian Mansion which created the perfect backdrop for Barbara and Bill's beautiful fall wedding. Bridesmaids wore yellow tea length dresses and carried bouquets featuring deep, fall-appropriate hues. Staying consistent with the fall season, Instead of a guest book, family and friends were asked to sign paper leafs that were then attached to branches in a vase. During reception the newlyweds passed out wine stoppers, with a leaf top, as thank you gifts. The wine stopper was a great idea considering that the Whitmore Mansion has a wine cellar and every reception table was decorated with a couple of bottles. Wine was not the only thing atop the tables that afternoon, richly hued arrangements with lots of interesting texture made perfect centerpieces. Barbara and Bill's monogram was also used throughout the event. It was placed on the table number cards, toasting flutes, cake, and cake serving set. The cake also had a unique topper which depicted a bride with a fishing pole reeling in her groom. This memorable wedding was overflowing with eye-catching details and it truly captured the celebration of this couples love for each other.

Chris and Joann's Central Valley Wedding

(Ocean Blue Photography and Design) — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 23:15:00 GMT

Chris and Joann were married August 2010. They traveled to Newman, Ca. for their wedding, to be married in the same church as Joann's parents were married, 20 years earlier. After the ceremony, they visited the elementary school where they met, in the 3rd grade. They walked the halls together, talking about their activities at school. Then Chris pushed Joann on the swings. Joann says "I use to make him push me on the swings everyday". At their reception, their toasting flutes said "Today I Marry My Best Friend" and it was easy to tell that that was true.
