Ciara and Ilya are just too cute and so in love! I had a great time shooting with them downtown and at the International Pace Gardens. They are the perfect combination of fun and affection, comedy and tenderness. Thank you two for a great Engagement session! I can’t wait to post the Bridals!

I met up with Becky & Justin at the historic McCune Mansion for their ‘groomal’ session!
For the uninitiated, a ‘groomal’ is like a bridal session where the groom comes along to participate. Its sort of a combination of an Engagement and Bridal session.
We had a great time and they asked us to put together a little slideshow for them to show at their reception. Now its time to share! Thank you Becky and Justin for letting me document your special day – I had a fabulous time!

A couple weeks ago, Brian flew his girlfriend Leslie out to Park City for a week of skiing and her birthday celebration. He also had planned to propose to her on her birthday, but she had no idea. Since Leslie is a photographer herself back in Alabama where the couple is from, he knew how important it would be to her to have photographs of the event.

As I’m sure everyone is well aware, yesterday was National Unicorn Day – a magical celebration of Joy, Joyfulness & Joyousness (and Joy)! Oh rapture!
Every year at this time, we at ZumaPhoto fill our hearts with a rainbow of fruit-flavored, glittery happiness and love. This year, led by our own little Alpha-Corn, Angela, the ladies of ZumaPhoto went all out with happy-hilarious-head-horns, chirpy-cheerful-cupcakes, and perky-playful-pizza-pie!
All in all, it was a mirthful festival of all things blissful, blithe and gay! And an impressively elaborate excuse to avoid work for an hour.

I had such a fun time playing in the snow up in Park City with Kim and Ray. They were up for tromping through the snow, getting wet socks and all, but I think the image we got was so worth it! I just love aspen trees year round, there isn’t a season in which they don’t look awesome.
Kim and Ray just look perfect framed among all of those black and white trunks. Thanks Kim and Ray for being such great sports in the wet snow! Continue reading

Last week was the annual pilgrimage to the mecca of portrait and wedding photographers, the WPPI convention in Las Vegas.
I had been asked to do a fashion shoot of the beautiful Ashley while there. We came up with the concept of making a dress quite literally ripped from the pages of Vogue.
After hours and hours of designing, cutting, gluing, and building, the dress came together. Click to see the results!

So just HOW cool is the ZumaPhoto studio space? Cool enough for movies, yo!
Triple threat (writer/director/actor) Jason Falasco approached us about shooting his production company’s (Trilogy Productions) short film ‘Soft Focus’ in our studios over a weekend this past December, with the ultimate goal of presenting it for funding into a full feature. I have a bit of background in film, so I wasn’t really keen on the idea of turning the studio over to a film crew (filmmakers are all savages…SAVAGES I TELL YOU!). But after much cajoling, flattery and plain old American bribery, we finally relented. Jason and his team shot this behind the scenes vignette as a kind of thank you card to us. Enjoy!
One note: ’Soft Focus’ is about a disgruntled wedding photographer finding love and renewed passion. While we acknowledge the similarities between life and art here, we would like to assure our clients and friends that we are definitely gruntled with our wedding photography! So gruntled it hurts.
Thanks to Jason, Mario, Moises, Brian, Rachel and the whole crew!
P.S. – Rachel, you know where to find me.

This past October, Zuma’s own Heidi Ann was featured in Professional Photographer Magazine as one of the Top-10 up-and-coming photographers, or ‘GenNext’, as the magazine puts it. These are PPM’s picks for the artists to watch in the coming year and we couldn’t agree more. Way to go Heidi!
They used one of her fabu images for the table of contents as well.
Sadly, Heidi was not the one to shoot Mr. Clooney’s mug for the cover. But she’s working on it….. Next time!

This was run on the BrideAccess TV show an Robin was kind enough to send me a link to share. So this was at the end of the Bridal Showcase Bridal Fair in January. Zen had kept me up most of the previous night and I had been at the show for some 10 hours by this point and I was so tired that I literally had no recollection of what I had said until I saw this. I’m just relieved that I didn’t call for the overthrow of the government or confess to any murders or anything.
Guess those secrets are still safe…..DOH!!
