Jomygoodness features Tinywater Photography

by admin on April 8, 2011

in featured, vendor profiles

Here is a real treat, ladies.  You’ve seen their work featured in a bunch of magazines & on so many blogs.  I’m sure you’re a fan, because I know I am.  I got a chance to ask Caroline of Tinywater Photography some questions to get to know her better.  As you know, I always try to find something similar to whomever is answering my questions, and I found that she & are similar in more ways than none.  Whether it’s how we would describe our own styles personally, or our love for over-styled engagement sessions, it is certain that Caroline loves what she does & is oh-so good at it.  So without further ado, check out Caroline’s answers to my questions.

 

How would you describe your style?  Personally & professionally as a photographer?

Feminine but edgy. Modern and clean – think DWR. Distinct and artistic. I love All Saints and I have a mad love affair for boots.  Professionally – vibrant, avant garde, romantic but with an editorial/fashion flair

When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?

Marine Biologist, Food Biologist or Environmental lawyer

What is your background?  How did you get started in photography?  What motivated you to take the plunge & do this for a living?

My background: BFA and MFA in New Media and Design. I was in college initially for Industrial Engineering, and I had to take an elective, so I chose photography. Somehow, I dropped out of engineering school and ended up in Art school. I did one year of photography and decided I was spending too much time in the darkroom and not enough time outside. I quickly fell in love with design and switched over. But somehow found my way back to photography. I could never not do something creative every day. It’s something organic inside of me, and it lives and breathes. It’s like oxygen. If I had to stop, I would die.

What inspires you?

Light, laughter, nature, impulsion, fashion, other people, love, dogs, trees, reflections, vogue, colors, the sun, happiness, magical things and pretty things! Secret glances and smiles between two people. Sunrise through my windows in the morning.

Where do you get your inspiration?

In nature, movies, music videos and fashion magazines. Other forms of photography and museums. Lots of museum time.

What do you love most about your job?

Meeting the absolutely most adorable couples, hearing their amazing stories and sharing their love.

What is your photography pet peeve?

When a photographer makes the couple make a heart sign in front of the belly for a maternity session.

What is your take on the “first look”?

I’m totally fine with the couple’s decision, I really believe the couple has to make the decision and it has to be whatever they are most comfortable with. Everyone has their own preference, and I am merely a photographer, not someone to change what is important to them.

What wedding “trend”–past or current–is your least favorite?

Overstyled engagement sessions

What advice would you give brides & grooms when booking a photographer?

Be sure to connect with your photographer not just emotionally and mentally but artistically. And be sure to look at a complete entire wedding. You have to be able to trust your photographer. And make it an investment, your photographs are forever to cherish.

Describe your dream wedding.

I honestly don’t have one!!! I think they are all amazing and each one is so special, I love photographing the whole journey and process.

Where is your favorite place to shoot?

San Francisco and New York, actually anywhere urban, I really like the urban vibe.

Name 3 things you cannot live without in life.

My dogs, my art and the ocean. Water generally. Why else is my business called Tinywater?

Jomygoodness features Brooke Forry of Claremont Collection

by admin on February 11, 2011

in featured, pretty paper, vendor profiles

I have been a huge fan of Brooke Forry for a while… from way back when she was Miss Cupcake on Weddingbee.  I started stalking her Claremont Road blog when she started it too.  So when she announced her brand new project (aka career move) in Curious & Company, with her “baby” being Claremont Collection, I couldn’t help but be excited for her.  {I kind of form a relationship with the bloggers whom I follow, regardless of whether they know it or not… sounds kinda creepy, I know, but I swear there’s no need to get frightened.}  Anyway, as I’ve come to know Brooke more through her posts & her work, I have become a bigger & bigger fan.  Her style & overall aesthetic is very balanced — colorful {but not all over the place}, a little vintage {with modern twists}, simple & clean {without being plain}, very detailed {without being cluttered}.  I’m a fan.  A very big fan.  She was kind enough to take a timeout & answer some of my questions, which makes me love her even more.  Miss “Cupcake” suits her perfectly.

Describe your style.
Old-soul with a modern sensibility and a love of color & patterns

What are 3 words that best describe you?
driven….optimistic….colorful

What is your background?  How did you get started in your business?  What were you greatest challenges?  What motivated you to start your business?
I grew up in an artistic family — my mom is a retired art teacher and my brother is in the men’s fashion industry — so it was no surprise to anyone when I decided to pursue the arts, as well. I went to the University of Delaware and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Communications. I have worked as a designer consistently over the last nine years, working for both in-house design departments and design studios, and I always wanted to start my own company someday. In late 2009 I started feeling like it was now or never: my husband and I were still newlyweds and we didn’t have kids or a mortgage tying us down yet, and some of my designer friends were also thinking of going out on their own. We joined forces and in 2010, opened up shop at Curious & Company Creative; my “baby,” Claremont Collection, is our line of letterpress wedding stationery that we introduced a few months later.

What’s the story behind your business name?
I grew up on a street called Claremont Road. In 2008 I started a personal blog where I chronicle my adventures in adulthood and marriage, as well as share interesting finds in the design world. I decided to name my blog Claremont Road, because our old home was such an important part of my formative years. When my business partners and I joined forces as Curious & Company (it was one name all of us could agree on!) and I said I wanted to head up a letterpress stationery line, I knew that I wanted to incorporate the name Claremont; thus, Claremont Collection was born. We currently offer ten designs, each available in save-the-dates, invitations, etc. and customizable with any of the 25 ink colors we offer.

When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
A ballerina! I was very into dance and theatre, though I never studied dance like I *should* have if I really wanted to be a dancer someday!

What inspires you?
Color, pattern, great music, live theatre, dance, impressionism, mid-century design and fashion, and architecture.

What do you love most about what you do?
Hands down, the pride I feel when a client loves the work I have done. It is a nice reminder that hard work pays off.

What is your work pet peeve?
When I can’t find the perfect paper color that I have in mind for a project. There are certain colors or shades that are very difficult to find, and it’s frustrating when I can’t find what I have pictured in my mind.

What is one thing you & your business couldn’t live without?
Pantone swatches — color is so important to a piece and the wrong shade can totally ruin a design. My Pantone swatches rarely leave my side.

Name 1 wish you want to come true.
I wish for Claremont Collection to become a favorite among brides nationwide so we can continue to introduce new designs and features to keep our work fresh and exciting.

What advice would you give future brides & grooms when it comes to hiring their perfect stationer?
It sounds cliché, but remember that you get what you pay for. If a designer is charging very little for an invitation suite that other reputable companies are charging much more for, chances are they are inexperienced and that will be reflected in the design and final product. Design experience, paper quality, print quality, and — especially with the art of letterpress — the skill of the person running the press are all very important to a final product. If your budget is tight but you want to ensure a quality final invitation suite, work with someone who has the experience but consider a letterpress design with one ink color instead of two, or an RSVP post card instead of a card and printed envelope to save a little money. Ultimately, it will be a better experience for you and a more beautiful final product if you work with the experienced designer.

What is your favorite wedding trend of all time?
Photo booths! I know everyone and their sister has a photo booth at their wedding anymore, but I don’t care — guests always have SO much fun when there is a photo booth and I think it’s a wonderful way to get lots of fun pictures of the people you love. My husband and I had an old-fashioned black & white photo booth at our wedding two and a half years ago, and people are still talking about it.

What is your least favorite wedding trend?
Smashing the cake in each other’s face. I prefer sweetly feeding each other cake and sealing it with a kiss :)

What trend(s) do you foresee for 2011 brides?
Anything goes… I love that weddings no longer “have” to fit in a certain mold. I think the internet and wedding blogs have totally changed the face of the wedding industry in the last ten years, and I see 2011 being even more unique and innovative than years past.

If you could have your wedding all over again, what would you do differently?  What would you most definitely keep the same?
I would have considered a less traditional reception venue. We loved the hotel ballroom where we had our reception, but we booked it very soon after getting engaged and before I really knew of some other unique spaces that could have worked. It could have been fun to work with a space that was more of a blank canvas, but then again that probably would have just stressed me out more! What would I keep the same? The husband, definitely :)

Describe your perfect day.
A beautiful, sunny spring day with no obligations, my husband by my side, and a world of possibilities awaiting us.

Pick:
- chocolate / vanilla
- PC / Mac
- coffee / tea
- Blackberry / iPhone
- black / white
- vintage / modern

Favorites:
- color palette – greens and blues always get me

Jomygoodness features Leah Lee Photography

by admin on February 4, 2011

in featured, vendor profiles

I have a new friend.  Her name is Leah… that’s the photographer of Leah Lee Photography, and I had the pleasure of working with her back in September.  Aside from being an uber talented photographer, she is super sweet & is one of those ladies you can easily just hang out with.  Being able to see her in action, I must admit how impressed I was with her tenacity to get the perfect shot.  I recall being overwhelmed with excitement to see the final shots.  I was seriously dying to see them… Check out her work.

How would you describe your style?  Personally & professionally as a photographer?
My personal style expresses my love of beauty and color, I use my creativity to accessorize my life.  My professional style–I shoot with a sense of wonder.  I am inspired by people and how they celebrate every detail of their life.  I use my lens  to capture how people live their life.
When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
Growing up I always saw myself doing some form of art.  But in college I wanted to save the earth and tried to be an environmental scientist.  That lasted a semester and I ran back to the art building.

What is your background?  How did you get started in photography?  What motivated you to take the plunge & do this for a living?
My parents always had me involved in some form of art class growing up.  I got my first camera in high school and in college realized that my photography skills were superior to my painting skills.  I was motivated to turn my skill into a living because I wanted to be creative and work on my terms.

What inspires you?
People and how they live their lives inspires me.  Traveling is a crucial part of my life and vision.  Its important for me to see and celebrate how people all over the world live.  It opens up my mind and sparks my creativity.

Where do you get your inspiration?
I get my inspiration from traveling and meeting new people.  I try to surround myself with people who are motivated and ambitious and doing good things.  Peoples perspectives are inspiring.

What do you love most about your job?
I love that my job allows me the flexibility to do what I want when I want while exercising my creativity.  I want to continue to take a month every year to travel a new portion of the globe.

What is your photography pet peeve?
My photography pet peeve is underestimating and undervaluing quality.  Anyone can take a picture but not everyone can take a good picture.  Don’t skimp on photography. You pay for what you get.

What is your take on the “first look”?
I think doing a first look is the only way to go.  I don’t understand why people put so much energy into their wedding planning and then don’t want to be apart of cocktail hour.  Doing pictures before hand lets  you enjoy your day and allows me to capture what is really happening.

What wedding “trend”–past or current–is your least favorite?
Vanilla weddings are my least favorite.  There are no rules when it comes to planning a wedding so putting energy into personalizing your day lends to an unforgettable event.

Describe your dream wedding.
To be honest I have never dreamt about my own wedding.  I think when I choose to marry I will want to go far away with the people we love.

Where is your favorite place to shoot?
My favorite place to shoot….really anywhere.  I think its the people that make the experience good or bad.  You could put me in an dumpster and I could shoot something interesting.  It’s all how you see things.

Name 3 things you cannot live without in life.
3 things I can’t live without–family, friends and my camera.

Name 3 things your business cannot live without.
3 things my business can’t live without–my camera, my vision and my iphone.

Jomygoodness features Southern Weddings Magazine

by admin on January 28, 2011

in featured, read it, vendor profiles

One of my favorite wedding resources is Southern Weddings Magazine.  It’s practically a look-book that makes me say “oooh”  & “awwww” with each turn of the page.  I sent over my questions–both wedding-related & random–to their team, and quickly (very quickly) received responses to find out a little bit more about the magazine from their Art Director, Emily Ayer.  This “Bachelor”-obsessed board game-lover shares where she gets her inspiration & what she loves most about her job… I like her!  Although she prefers something more traditional than modern, I know she’s got a rebellious side.  How do I know?  When I asked her to pick between black & white, she said “How about black & white together?”  And when I asked her between coffee & tea, she chose “Lemonade.”  She sounds like me!  Get to know Emily a little better.

JoMG: How would you describe the magazine?  What kind of bride should pick up your magazine?
SW: Southern Weddings Magazine is the South’s premier publication for the modern bride. The Southern Weddings blog, updated daily, highlights the best in real Southern weddings and event details from around the country and shares behind-the-scene details from the making of a magazine with a fresh, fun, and fabulous staff of women.  Our readership tends to skew a bit younger than most wedding magazines, and we like to think of our readers as “young sophisticates” — belles (wherever they might live!) who are planning a classic, elegant, and fun wedding.

JoMG:  When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
SW: At different ages I wanted to be a ballet dancer and a high school English teacher, but starting in middle school I knew I wanted to work at a magazine.  I’ve loved weddings fanatically since I was a little girl, so my present job is pretty much perfect!

JoMG: What is your background?  How did you get started in the magazine industry/wedding industry?
SW: Working at Southern Weddings was my first job after graduating from college.  You can read the whole story right here!

JoMG: What inspires you?  Where do you get your inspiration for the magazine?
SW: I’m inspired by our readers, and from classic, understated style in all arenas including fashion, food, and interiors.  After pushing one issue out it seems like you’ll never be inspired to start again, but something amazing always comes along that lights a fire under us.  For V3, it was the cover shoot from Joey + Jessica Weddings.  We’re just starting to find our mojo for V4!

JoMG: Where do you get your daily motivation?
SW: My Google Reader, stocked with way too many amazing blogs, as well as Pinterest — such a great way to collect visual inspiration!  Here’s a link to my boards.

JoMG: What do you love most about your job?
SW: I love the independence. I am (mostly) free to decide what a given day’s priorities are, how to handle situations I find myself in, and what I want to work on when.

JoMG: What is your pet peeve when it comes to work?
SW: Since I handle submissions, I’d have to say it’s when photographers, vendors, and/or brides don’t understand our exclusivity policy.  It can cause so much unnecessary confusion and heartache for all involved!  To read up on our submission FAQs, click here.

JoMG: What wedding “trend”–past or current–is your least favorite?
SW: I’m sure some would disagree with me, but I have to say the picnic engagement session.  Cute, but not terribly authentic for most couples, and definitely not unique at this point!

JoMG: What wedding “trend” or “tradition” is your favorite?
SW: Bows are my favorite “trend” right now.  Katharine wore a bow-bedecked Amsale gown (the beautiful Blakely) for her wedding this past September, and it was GORGEOUS.  My favorite “tradition?”  Classic white cakes.  Love them!

JoMG: What is a wedding day must-have?  What is a wedding day “nice-to-have, but not so necessary”?
SW: Unsurprisingly (since I’m the SW Art Director!), a wedding day must-have for me is superlative photography.  You only have one chance to capture beautiful images of your family, your friends, and your love in one place.  Hiring a professional photographer who will record your day seamlessly is (in my opinion) priceless.  Nice to have, but not so necessary?  A brand-new couture gown (you can find amazing deals on pre-loved sites these days!).

JoMG: What advice would you give brides & grooms when planning their big day?
SW: I love details.  Obviously!  But if planning and then attending my sister’s wedding taught me anything, it’s that details are lovely, and they can absolutely help create a desired environment on the big day, but they’ll never replace or outshine a happy bride and groom.  Makeup artist a half hour late?  Priest stumbles over your names at the ceremony?  Caterer serves the wrong appetizers?  Band plays the song you put at the top of the do-NOT-play list?  DON’T LET IT BOTHER YOU.  Just don’t.  Prepare yourself in advance for the realization that something WILL go wrong on your wedding day, and make the decision to not let it bother you.  There will be plenty of time to speak with the caterer/makeup artist/DJ after the honeymoon, if you so choose, but you only have one wedding day.  So choose to be happy!

JoMG: Describe your dream wedding.
SW: Classic elegance.  Ceremony in a tiny church with a center aisle, evening black tie reception at a private home in Connecticut with a lawn that rolls down to the sea.  A swing band.  A delicious white cake.  Happy guests.  Cousins and sisters in my bridal party.  A handsome groom :)

JoMG: Name 3 things you cannot live without in life.
SW: God, my family, and my friends.  Since none of those are actually “things,” however, I’d have to say Kraft macaroni and cheese, Google Reader, and my family’s summer cottage in Maine.

JoMG: Name 3 things your business cannot live without.
SW: That’s easy: Mac books, iPhones, and solid vendor relationships — we couldn’t do much of anything without our fantastic vendor partners.

Favorites:
- drink The North Carolina invention Cheerwine is high on my list (hint: it’s not actually wine!)
- TV show 24
- song “Beyond the Sea” by Bobby Darin
- movie Too hard to pick a favorite, but I do have a weak spot for government conspiracy/action thrillers (i.e. Air Force One, Enemy of the State)
- guilty pleasure Oh, this is embarrassing, but it’s definitely “The Bachelor” on ABC.
- game Scattergories or Settlers of Catan.  I am a HUGE board game nerd.
- book The Bible
- flower White tulips
- color palette Navy and white
- blog(s) {aside from Jomygoodness, of course!} Too many to list!  Inchmark and Oh Happy Day are my favorite non-wedding blogs.

Pick
- PC / Mac For years I was a PC, but I’d have to say I am most definitely a Mac now.
- iPhone / Blackberry iPhone
- black / white How about black and white together?
- modern / traditional Traditional
- coffee / tea Lemonade :)
- chocolate / vanilla Chocolate

Jomygoodness features Brian Khang Photography

by jomylene on October 8, 2010

in vendor profiles

Ok, everyone, meet Brian.  Not just any Brian, but the awesome Brian Khang, the photographer.  I’ve only met Brian once face-to-face, and I must say he lights up the room.  He’s funny, he’s charming, and not shy at all.  I asked Brian if he was okay with me featuring him on Jomygoodness, and he agreed to answer a few of my questions.

Photographed by Jonathan Canlas

Here are his words on describing his background & how he got started in photography {sidenote: I can totally imagine him telling this story word for word}:  My background is actually in art and drawing.  My life long dream has been to work for Marvel Comics {awesome! I can so see it!} as an artist.  In high school I took a photography class that really just taught us how to develop film, but not really be artistic and creative in taking photos, so I was never really attracted to photography back then.  I can say that I used my parents film camera my whole life, but it was really for only taking family photos.  It wasn’t until about 7 years ago when a friend of mine showed me his digital SLR camera and the rest was history.

It was kind of like walking through a dark forest and then all of the sudden, someone hands you a flash light.  It was literally like a night and day experience.  After buying my first SLR digital camera, I just was so addicted to taking pictures.  I took my camera everywhere I went and took photo after photo of absolutely nothing.  I’ve always had this love affair with cars and so I naturally just photographed cars for the longest time.  I thought then that I wanted to become a car photographer.  It wasn’t until I photographed a friends wedding for fun really and my decision changed to become a wedding photographer instead.

What did Brian want to be when he grew up?  Here’s his answer: Besides wanting to be a doctor or lawyer like every other kid growing up, I also wanted to be either a musician or comic artist.  My older sister was a talented Violinist, so I would think that was probably why I wanted to be a musician and my older brother was a talented artist as well, so that’s why I probably wanted to be an artist.  Yes, so I guess I just wanted to be like them when I was growing up.

Find out what makes Brian love his job so much: Where do I start?  I love people and that’s the honest truth.  I love being at a couples wedding, anticipating the right moment to photograph a smile, a hug, a laugh, a wink or tears of joy.  I love that my job isn’t based on a 9-5 day and that I get to sleep in a bit longer if I choose.  I love dressing up on wedding days and my fiance Helen, well and everyone that knows me, can vouch for me on that!  I’m sure if I sat here long enough, I can fill up a page on things I love about my job!  I honestly do feel that I’ve got the best job in the world!

Oh, my gosh.   Here is his photography pet peeve: I think the only photography pet peeve I have and I’m not sure if this is a pet peeve, is when at a shoot or a wedding, my equipment fails or stops working correctly.

Here’s his advice to engaged couples regarding hiring a photographer.  By the way, this feature is long overdue, thus his “I’m engaged to be married” sentence… There’s probably a million answers to this question, but in my opinion and as most people know that I’m engaged to be married this June, so we too were searching for a photographer.  The best advice I can give a couple when searching for a photographer is, first love the photographers work.  Find a handful of photographers that their styles just speak to you and meet with them.  Love who they are as a person, as well as an artist.  They will be with you on your most intimate day and well before your wedding day and after your wedding.  You want to make sure that you click with them.  Do your homework on camera equipment and the what ifs’.  Make sure you ask questions!

Here’s Brian’s rundown of his equipment:  I’m currently shooting with Canon 5D’s.  My backup camera is the same as well.  In my bag I have the camera bodies, a 16-35MM, 28MM, 50MM, 85MM, 70-200MM lenses.  Macro extension tubes, flashes, Pocket Wizards and 2 EOS 3 film bodies.  I shoot film from time to time and if there is time.  There’s still something so magical about true black and white film that I love!  The one thing that I would never be able to shoot without, would definitely be my 50MM lens.  I just love the focal length.  If there’s a 2nd thing, then it would be comfy stylish shoes!

What inspires Brian? I get most of my inspirations from the movies and tv I watch.  Fashion and catalog magazines.  Some commercial and fashion photographers.  And I can’t leave out living in Orange County.  I just love it here!

Where Brian would love to shoot: Oh there’s so many places I would love to shoot, but if I had to pick one, then it would probably be Japan.

Brian describes his perfect day: My perfect day would be getting to sleep in, waking up to a beautiful sunny 80 degrees and hearing the sounds of the ocean, enjoying a nice brunch outside by the beach, playing some afternoon basketball or volleyball with friends, getting a massage, shopping at my favorite stores, having dinner at a delicious hole in the wall restaurant that I’ve never been to with Helen and ending the day with great conversation over tea or coffee with friends around a fire pit.  I try to have this perfect day once a year on my birthday!

Brian is such a sweet guy.  Guess who his heroes are! My heroes hands down would have to be my parents.  They took a risk leaving Vietnam before I was born, in hopes of a better future for their children.  I would definitely love to go back in time and photograph my parents wedding.  Apparently, the photographer that photographed their wedding in Vietnam lied to them and didn’t really have film in his camera.  So there’s no photo of their wedding day, not even 1.

What’s in store for Brian? I’m not sure what the future holds for me, but I am going to be continuing to do what I love and that is being a photographer.  I’m currently working on new branding, as well as a new website and blog.  I’ve also been pretty busy with commercial work, so that might be an avenue that I’ll be strolling down more often.

What wedding trend Brian is digging right now:  The only thing I can think of that I’m happy to see back is the vintage look.  I actually love the 50′s and 60′s era so much.  The styles and music are something that I really appreciate.

I am soooo with Brian when it comes to what is not wedding hot: Pouffy wedding dress sleeves from the 80′s and wedding cake structures that are connected by bridges.

Brian describes his style as a photographer: My style as a photographer can be described as classically modern, emotional and lifestyle.  My personal style can be described as fun, preppy, JCrew.  I think the 2 styles definitely overlap.  How I live my personal life and style, really reflects in my style of photography and what I like to photograph.

If I were a genie, I would grant Brian these three wishes:  My three wishes would be..  to win the Powerball or something equivalent, travel to every place in the world and forever be surround by great friendships!

Considering doing a first look?  Here’s Brian’s take on that & trash the dress: I think first looks are such a great idea.  It’s such an intimate moment still and on a busy hectic wedding day, it helps with more time for portraits.  I’ve never really done a trash the dress session, but if someone wanted to go out and trash their wedding dress, I can see how that can be fun!

Three words that describe Brian are..  confident, emotional, stylish

When Brian is not working, you can expect to find him at a mall shopping, a basketball court, hanging out at a friends place, or eating or cooking.  I love to grill food!  bowling or laying out at the beach.
