Happy New Year! NEW BLOG

2009-01-06T09:54:00.000-08:00

Happy new year to everyone. We're so excited to start 2009 and to work with all of our couples. We just finished the first wedding of 2009, and if it's any indication of what's to come... then it's going to be an awesome year.

To celebrate the new year, Emma has been working on a new blog. We will no longer be making updates to this blog. So, please update your bookmarks and subscriptions (if you have them). We wouldn't want you to miss out on updates and news:

When you're the photographer of the family, you can never resist when you have so many willing models!

THUY AND DARYLE ARE ENGAGED

JOY AND TOM ARE ENGAGED

2008-12-19T12:54:00.000-08:00

Can you say, fashion fabulous? Tom and Joy were dressed so well I thought there was paparazzi behind me. Having their picture taken professionally was a first for them but they did an awesome job in front of the lens posing, smiling, and just being themselves. They also had the confidence and the closeness that made it easy for me.

I felt like going home to get rid of my Old Navy sweater and put on my Gap one. Just kidding, I had Aeropostale on. I know, fancy. hehe.

We had a great time in downtown San Jose. It was a cold day but they kept their composure and style.

From Alfred Salom

During my spare time (all three hours of them) I play around with Photoshop trying to learn new styles and techniques. I've always liked textures and balls of lights, and try to incorporate them in my pictures to make them more fun. Here's a little sample. I hope all my blog fans (all three of you) like it.

We shot on the Stanford campus and I never really realized how beautiful it is.

Jones Family

2008-12-02T18:46:00.000-08:00

The Jones-es-es as we call them are very, very close friends of ours. You will find our godson Pacey gracing the pages of our marketing materials and various promotional items. He and Ella are close buds. We now have the pleasure of introducing little Spencer (their newest addition) to our group.

From Alfred Salom

Jenny and Scott are ENGAGED

2008-11-30T21:07:00.000-08:00

Jenny and Scott got engaged on the beach, so to the beach we went for what was a beautiful day. I got to spend two weekends in a row at the beach; how awesome is that?

We met Jenny and Scott through Leilani and Marcel. Apparently, Scott and Leilani row together (hmmm...rowing, I want to try rowing). Maybe Emma and I can convince them to take us out some afternoon. However, the last time Emma tried water sports ended up in a $50 rescue mission from the nearest life guard.

They are having a fabulous ceremony at the resort from the movie "Forgetting Sarah Marshall". I'm sure it's going to be fabulous.

Jenny and Scott Teaser

2008-11-24T17:02:00.000-08:00

We had a wonderful shoot with Jenny and Scott this weekend. Wind, wind, and more wind! I felt so bad because Jenny's hair looked so perfect...and the wind wasn't cooperating!

More shots to come.

Some babies aren't babies at all, as you can tell from my recent "baby" photo session, where I took photos of two special children.

We had one proud papa.

We had a great day at the beach with Tristan and his family. We got that "golden hour" where the light is just right.

Every three months or so, Emma and Ella take an hour long flight to go visit family in Vegas. This time, they'll be gone over a week. They will leave me here... alone with Ramen and some cans of Spam. A list on my computer reminds me:

Feed dog.
Finish editing.
Get some sleep.
Shoot on Thursday.
Shoot on Saturday.
We miss you already.

Helena, Phil, and Tristan...teasers

2008-11-15T23:01:00.000-08:00

Here are some teasers from our awesome shoot today. We had a last minute cancellation, which turned out to be a blessing because we were able to spend the day at the beach with Helena (who also happens to be an awesome lawyer; she handles our contracts and such), Phil (works for Adobe---hmmmm.....hint hint) and Tristan.

More pictures to come.

Mike + Georgia, E-Session

2008-11-13T17:47:00.000-08:00

Golden Gate Park

One of the greatest things about this park is that you can achieve two completely different looks with just a 2-minute drive between locations.

It seems we were constantly looking at the sky, hoping that rain drops wouldn't fall and cut our session short. Fortunately, we had clear skies for our photo shoot.

Georgia and Mike are both teachers (which I think is so cute!) We have three 2009 couples where both the bride and groom are teachers (and..surprisingly enough, they all don't know each other). Hmmm.... I wonder what I'm doing to target such a great market!

2008 Round Up

2008-11-10T18:27:00.000-08:00

As the 2008 wedding season comes to an end, Emma and I have been reflecting on what we want our second year to become.

When we ventured out from portrait photography and into wedding photography, I knew it would be hard, but it would also be worth it. This past year has been so awesome. I cannot even begin to explain how seriously blessed I feel to be able to take this hobby and turn it into a business. The success of this first official year in wedding photography would never have happened if not for the support of all my premiere couples who allowed us to capture their big day for them.

Aside from these great couples, I have to thank my wife who was the source of all this. She identified potential, did all the legwork necessary, built a brand, and held my hand as we took this big leap of faith. So far it was a leap worth taking.

However, now that we've taken on this new venture (wedding photography), it's made us that much more busy! Emma and I pride ourselves in offering a very personalized wedding-photography experience, which is why we decided to take only 16 weddings in 2009.

Why so few? We love being able to talk to couples, get to know our brides, and really spend time finding out what they want and don't like. So, having only a certain number of slots available each year, we can give you more attention and a higher-quality product than if we were to book weddings every weekend. Besides, I still want to be able to uphold 2-3 week turn around for proofs...oh, and family time is very important to me. Balancing family, work, and our business is my top priority.

So, just a note to future couples out there, please try to inquire as early as possible. I wouldn't want to miss out on an opportunity to work with you and document your big day. (To be extremely transparent, we're already at about 60% capacity and booking season has just begun.)

To all the couples, families, and individuals we worked with in 2008---thank you again. We couldn't have done it without you!

Much love,

D-Saloms

November Days

2008-11-07T11:51:00.000-08:00

I don't know if it's the change in weather, the fact that sunsets come earlier now, or that I've been cooped up in my dungeon (a.k.a. the office) editing away, but I was inspired to break out the macro lens and capture the last few hints of summer.

Here's a picture from my latest floral excursion.

((P.S. I updated some of the teasers for Leilani and Marcel.))

Santana Row

Here are a few teasers. More to come.

I had a great afternoon with Marcel and Leilani. We were supposed to do this shoot on Saturday morning, but the weather forecast wasn't looking so good so we did a quick rescheduling.

I arrived at Santana about 45 minutes early to scope out the place, as I usually do, and was pleasantly surprised to find Marcel and Leilani already on site.

Leilani and Marcel met and got engaged on Santana Row, so it was only fitting that we document their engagement at the same strip of shops.

You guys rock. I had an awesome time shooting you. You guys are pros.

ANNE + BRIAN are MARRIED

2008-10-26T10:01:00.001-07:00

Marin Headlands

We all couldn't have asked for better weather, on an October day.

This bunch has to be the most down to earth bunch of people I've ever had the pleasure of spending eight hours with. They were so easy to work with that, all the group pictures...including the one of ALL of them...were done in under 15 minutes. The couple shots with Anne and Brian? Emma timed it down to 30 minutes for 2 locations, including a 5 minute trek up and down the beach carrying 20 pounds of equipment and a 5 minute drive to the reception.

Side note: Emma is a stickler about keeping the bride and groom on time so they can enjoy their guests.

I also managed to practice my powers of hypnotism, as their friends were so agreeable with everything that I asked of them.

From Alfred Salom

Even Emma had powers of hypnotism, as she asked these two guys to joust with two very large poles.

Palmdale Estates, Fremont CA

Emma here for the post-wedding commentary. Usually, Alfred would be doing this, but Ella and I have locked him in his office until he comes out with all of Katy and Nolan's edited pictures. He sometimes gets water and a slice of bread---but only on good days. :)

Nolan and Katy met over a bag of Oreos. How cute is that? Their wedding was just as adorable and romantic as their first meeting, and their first date---swinging on swings.

Not a dry eye to be seen.

Testimonial

2008-10-14T09:36:00.000-07:00

Hi Emma,

Alfred and you are just great to work with and really fun and comfortable!!! Already we have our favorites just from the teasers you've shown us. I can't wait to see the entire gallery and in an album. I can't believe you both made us look really good and your guidance to our poses really helped us to know what to do. Otherwise, we'll just be hugging each other in all our pictuers.. hehehe! I like how you captured some of our candid and un-posed shots and it turned out awesome! I'm really glad we had this opportunity to dress in our wedding outfit and try for our pictures again. After the wedding, I felt bad that we were putting our wedding outfits to rest...

I really want to thank you for everything!!! We're so happy with what we saw so far and it was good to work with you both. Thank you again and I think you guys will be successful because of the warmth and ease of working with you, not to mention the dual talent behind the lenses.

I will forever remember this because of the beautiful pictures you and Alfred took of us. We really enjoyed our day and will definitely recommend you both to future couples and events. Thank you so much.. and can't wait to see the rest of the pictures.

Take care and hope to see you both again..

Regards,
Cherryl

Cherryl and Nasser, Post-Wedding Shoot

2008-10-12T13:37:00.000-07:00

Emma here.

Cherryl and Nasser had an amazing wedding. Unfortunately, we weren't able to be their day-of photographer.

Apparently, things were running late on her big day, so she wasn't able to get all the desired solo shots, couple shots, and entourage shots (primarily with her girls). We're glad we were able to step in for her.

From Alfred Salom Photography

It was FREEZING the day we shot this. Cherryl was a trooper! I took some shots as well:

Albums

2008-10-10T12:39:00.000-07:00

Here is a sampling of the albums that we offer.

Coffee Book Albums:The coffee book album is like a coffee table book. Images are printed on photographic paper.

From Alfred Salom Photography

Traditional Album:The matted wedding album is the classic wedding album where the pages are hand-mounted and surrounded by a matte or border. The pages (aka inserts) can have silver or gold-metal edges to help protect the photos from damage and help survive the test of time. Matted wedding albums can include one or more photos per page. These are our more cost-effective albums, as they involve minimum design work.

From Alfred Salom Photography

Flush-Mount Album:The flush-mount album is the more modern album, as the photo layouts are mounted directly to the page. The photos stretch to the very edge of the board, leaving no border at the edges. The photo layouts are called "magazine style" because they might remind you of a magazine spread, where numerous photographs assembled in interesting designs on each page.

Our standard FM album offers panoramas that look great across a 1mm gutter,
tight round corners, optional square corners, spreads that lay flat when opened, and a 5 day turnaround from when you finalize your design!

From Alfred Salom Photography

Our premiere FM album offers all the same features as the standard FM, but with 100% full-grain leather, 2mm thick pages, and life-time guarantee on material.

Learning the Biz

2008-10-09T14:14:00.000-07:00

Emma here.

As some of you might know, dear Alfred gave me a Canon for my birthday. Wow, how romantic! (Can anyone else sense ulterior motives?)

I've always been interested in photos, darnit---I married a photographer, and love creating snapshots in time, but I never bothered learning the mechanics of a DLSR. Why bother, Al was always around to set the camera for me.

Well, now that we've started this business, I thought it would be a good idea to see whether I could add more value to the company...aside from the accounting, business running, and album design.

I've taken some classes and am lined up for several workshops. So far...I'm loving it! Granted, Alfred and I do not see second shooting in my immediate future, but he does think I have definite potential.

Here are some of my favorite shots so far. Al says I'm very girly. Whatever that means!

Happy Birthday Wifey

2008-10-02T19:32:00.000-07:00

Trinh contacted my wife a few weeks ago, looking to update their family pictures to include their new addition.

I had a blast working with them, and made a new friend. Ethan.

Ethan wants to be a garbage man when he grows up. Each week, he faithfully waits for his favorite truck to drive up his driveway and his garbage man buddy honks and waives in his direction.

Ethan...you can be anything you want to be. :)

The Brrrr Months

2008-09-19T09:34:00.001-07:00

Sometimes we find that our home life overlaps with our business--just a little. Just last night, during a consult, one of our grooms found a cornic (filipino version of a cheerio...I think) in one of our albums! How embarassing, but a reminder that we are parents and we will sometimes have fruit loops stuck to our pants. :)

I'm starting to feel the change of seasons. Our calendar, which was once filled with weddings, is now starting to fill with consultations, e-sessions, and holiday shoots. Just another reminder that the holidays are coming! Whohooo... the Saloms love our holidays.

Our blog will shift from wedding photos to photos of cutesie kids and families and engagement sessions.

As the foliage starts to turn colors, it's an excellent time to consider booking your e-session.

P.S. Did I mention that I love nature pictures? Here are some I took last weekend:

Your Wedding Dollars Hard At Work

Christine + Jeremy

2008-08-25T19:09:00.000-07:00

Japanese Tea Gardens, Hayward

We had a blast at Christine and Jeremy's wedding last Saturday. Their kids are hilarious, and awesome dancers--I must say. My wife still talks about the yummy cake. Hanging out with them is like hanging out with family. You instantly feel at home.

You might have noticed a little more feminine feel to my photos, and that's because Emma has been taking on a stronger role in the post-processing. I like vibrant colors and pictures that deliver punch, while she likes a more muted, vintage palette.

Can you tell which ones are my style, and which ones are hers?

Venue: Hayward Japanese Tea Garden
Dinner Reception: Spin a Yarn in Fremont
Second shooter: The Amazing Shine Tuazon

August Rush

2008-08-21T11:00:00.001-07:00

I have a wedding this Saturday (Christine and Jeromy, can you hear the bells??) and then 3 back-to-back events with other photographers (and it pains me that I can't share those photos with you guys, but more experience is always better).

So, I'll be MIA...yet again...but I want to leave you with this photo.

Half empty, or half full? When it comes to beer, it's always half empty.

Don't worry, I NEVER drink at weddings. Hmm...unless I'm a guest!

8/8/08

2008-08-09T14:35:00.001-07:00

I mentioned that we would be busy with personal engagements and with side projects. Rhoda's wedding was one of our personal engagements. Emma was the MOH, our daughter Ella was the flower girl, and I served as babysitter for the night. I was asked to help second shoot this wedding (and would normally never pass up a chance to work with Ken--who also happens to be the photographer who I started assisting), but I was SO looking forward to being a guest for a change and getting to sit on the other end of the lens as I watched our two great friends get hitched---besides, as Emma reminded me, she needs me to assist HER with wrangling the little flower girl as she would be busy tending to the bride.

Just some snaps from the day:

Exercise

2008-08-06T09:02:00.001-07:00

Now that I've made the transition from portrait/family photography (although this is still a beloved part of my business) to wedding photography, I'm starting to realize...I need to work out more! 10 hour days, on your feet (or, in my case, on my knees or sprawled on the floor trying to get "the shot!") takes it out of you.

I need to take my doctor's advice and develop a friendship with a treadmill, or maybe lift something heavier than my Canon or my two-year old. :)

Hmm... I might even be tempted to try the Spin Class my wife talks about. The one that makes her come home all flustered and cranky. I'm just afraid that when I bring up the possibility of working out together, she'll suggest...drumroll...ballroom dancing. Me scared.

Our Second Shooter

2008-08-06T08:31:00.000-07:00

We'll be at a wedding on 8/8/8 for Rhoda and Matt. Our awesome second shooter Shine Tuazon took this photo. We're so glad to have her on our team.

Shoes

2008-08-01T13:46:00.000-07:00

It's been pointed out that I have a lot of shoe pictures in my portfolio. No, it's not due to some odd fetish or secret desire, but moreso because I find myself surrounded by shoes. I starting to think my daughter and wife are the ones with the odd shoe fetish. My daughter is TWO and loves trying on shoes. I know, it's only going to get worse as she ages.

"No matter how much weight you gain, your shoe size usually stays the same," is what I think Emma said that one time I politely pointed out how many pairs of shoes she has.

So, when I find myself with time and the camera is nearby, I get some good shots of shoes. The question remains, can you really judge a person by their shoes?

More Trixie Photos

2008-07-31T19:19:00.000-07:00

One of the things you think about, when you're starting a wedding photography business is "what is your style?" At first, I was hell bent on placing my style in a box. But now, I like to think that my style adapts to my client.

Some people like traditional, soft photos. While others like crisp, edgy shots. I guess I'm polymorphic in this regard.

That's why I always suggest booking a pre-shoot. Spending that extra time with you gives me a chance to know what style suits you best.

Trixie? Fun, energetic, and her guests were such a blast to be around.

BRB

2008-07-30T09:12:00.000-07:00

We have personal events this month and I'm assisting as a second shooter for great local photographer, so I'll be MIA for a few weeks. Do you miss me yet?

Side Projects

2008-07-24T09:45:00.000-07:00

One of my side projects is to build a new wedding album for my wife and I, as our album from back in 2002 is as heavy as our 2 year old.

I'm thinking I'll create a smaller, sleeker coffee book album or one of our beloved flush-mount albums.

We're also starting to offer guest books for our e-session clients, so I need to create a studio sample of one of those.

So many side projects, love it!

Family Shoot, Saloms

2008-07-20T10:30:00.000-07:00

As a gift to our mom, my brother booked a shoot for all the grandkids. I had so much fun working with my nieces. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Thanks A!

Trixie celebrated her 18th birthday at the Embassy Suites in Burlingame. We had so much fun! By the end of the night, I found myself doing a little dancing. Just a little. ;)

Always Good

2008-07-17T08:19:00.000-07:00

To receive a lovely thank you note from past clients:

Hi Emma,

Just wanted to send a note to properly thank you and Alfred for the wedding photos. We are so pleased that we have so many nice shots to choose from. We appreciate that you focused on the fun and whimsy of the day and really loved the artistic you gave to many of the shots (like the Potato Head with the bouquet). Our friends and family love them, too! We'd be happy to recommend your services to others who are considering photographers for their big day.

Thanks again,
Molly

P.S. We really appreciated the fact that you were so organized/professional and came early to shoot before things got too chaotic.

Nelson Family

2008-07-04T14:57:00.000-07:00

My wife's BFF asked us to do a family shoot for their upcoming wedding. Their daughter Vicky wasn't able to make their engagement shoot, so we put together a last-minute shoot for them.

I never thought getting two kids to look at the camera could be so difficult! But, at the end of the day, we got some good shots. The kids were so vibrant, and I'm hoping these pictures match that energy level. Vicky and Elle's personality definitely shot through!

Funnies

2008-07-02T10:07:00.000-07:00

I sometimes bring my lovely wife along on shoots, especially if we have a personal relationship with the clients (although I'd like to think I have a personal relationship with ALL my clients).

I think she called this the "America's Next Top Model Laugh".

I think they got it down, don't you?

Katy and Nolan

2008-06-30T09:09:00.000-07:00

I'm just starting my wedding portfolio, and Katy and Nolan were one of my first clients willing to take a chance on a a newcomer. Thank you for that!

We had their engagement session last Sunday. At first I suggested an urban shoot, but Katy suggested something a little more rustic to match their personalities, so I went with it and I'm so glad we did.

Katy once told my wife that their first date was spent swinging on swings at a local park. I thought this picture was very appropriate.

Shooting with them was like shooting with old friends.

And this last shot is a tribute to my wife, who insists I get jumping shots. Does it remind you of one of my previous pictures? Hmmm... So unplanned.

Belle and Clint, Monterey CA

2008-06-29T20:35:00.001-07:00

Got to work with Belle and Clint this weekend, up in Monterey CA. I was surprised at how smoky the sky was that day (from all the surrounding fires). We managed to have a wonderful shoot. Belle has the prettiest smile, and Clint has this infectious personality. Can't help but love them!

Molly and John

2008-06-29T11:42:00.000-07:00

We had one of our Short and Sweet weddings (3 hours) last Sunday for a lovely couple, John and Molly. Our services were a gift to them from a close friend. What a sweet, and thoughtful gift.

Hats, hats, and more hats! Loved it. The coziness of the ceremony, mixed in with the beauty of the surroundings made for such a sweet wedding.

Molly was such a lovely, and playful bride. I just wish I had more time with her! I never knew three hours could fly by so fast (squeezing 15 minute formals here and there).

Just a note to my future couples, it's good to have at least 45-60 minutes set aside for formals. The time is so worth it! I understand that this isn't possible with the shorter weddings, so I try to squeeze everything into 15-20 minute increments. :)

Stagette

2008-06-23T14:22:00.000-07:00

I had to drop off my wife at the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose for a Stagette that she was hosting for her BFF. I got to take some quick pics, before leaving. Boy, to be a fly on the wall for that party!

Took a stroll through downtown this weekend, trying to find ideal spots for some e-sessions we have lined up. Also got a chance to pick up a Father's Day cake for, well, ME!

Trixie

Trixie celebrates her debut next month, and we shot her signature board photos over the weekend. I felt like a fashion photographer, as her whole family came along to cheer her on. Lots of assistants willing to help keep the hair out of her face on a windy day.

YOU LOOK AMAZING!

You can tell when kids are comfortable in front of the lens, the shots come so easily. Lauren and Abby were a hoot to shoot, and mom Kari made it so easy. Here are some of my favorites:

Biz Cards

We finally got our business cards. I wish they had come sooner, especially since we met with 2 great couples last night. It would've been great to have something to hand to them. Oh well.

Who doesn't love them?

Tatum

Infants are amazing to shoot, especially when they are awake. Tatum was a dream. She looked at the camera and was as cute as could be.

My daughter and wife---always ready to pose. :)

While waiting for our table at lunch, we stopped by at a cafe to listen to some tunes. We discovered that Ella has some rhythm!

Ever the model.
