I’m off for a marathon Vegas session! I will be teaching The Anti-Workshop for four days, then it’s off to the WPPI tradeshow to pimp the Totally Rad Actions. I hope my photographer-readers will find the time to visit us in the Bally’s venue booths – since we’re not big time yet, we’re stuck in the tradeshow equivalent of Siberia. We’ll have plenty of recipe cards to give out, we’ll be doing live demos of the actions, and there will be plenty of Boutwell madness to enjoy. We will also be offering s special tradeshow price of $125 (before I get a hundred emails asking, no you can’t get that price unless you’re at the tradeshow!) Hope to see you there!
To my clients: Thanks for your patience while I am out of the studio. As always, email is the best way to contact me and I will do my best to get back to you in a jiffy!

Chenin
On Saturday, I shot Christine and John’s beautiful wedding in Palos Verdes. The lovely Erin Adams coordinated and designed the event, which took place at a gorgeous little country club in Palos Verdes. The whole day was intimate and warm and a complete pleasure to be a part of!
A couple shots of Christine getting ready -


A portrait of the lovely bride -

Then it was ceremony time -



Next, we headed to Palos Verdes Country Club for some portraits -

Last Friday, I had the pleasure of shooting Sarah and Rob’s engagement session! I was also meeting them for the first time, which is always a fun adventure. But we hit it off immediately and I was really lucky to have their complete trust right off the bat. I know I say it every time, but my job is just so damn easy when two madly in love people give me complete trust to document their special relationship. That’s exactly what Sarah and Rob gave me on Friday and I’m just really excited to share my images from that day -
I’ve been experimenting (again) with the 45mm Tilt-Shift – It’s a real hassle sometimes, but I think it does something special for an image -

I just love Robin’s expression in this one….


Taking advantage of the crowds -

Funny story about this shot – I was way high up in a tree to shoot this image and it occurred to me, after I was up there, that we were in front of the court house building where I passed up a job (as a lawyer) to continue shooting weddings. I guess I probably wasn’t too cut out for such a serious job ![]()

And one last shot at sunset -

To Sarah and Rob: you are both remarkable people and I am so delighted that you trusted me to document your big day! I can’t wait!
delightfully,
Chenin
