Ari Photography Couture Custom Guest Albums

I couldn't be more excited about one of the up and coming promotions I am doing. This evening I received Lauren and Eric's Guest book and I JUST LOVE IT! I feel that this book does a great job portraying the fact that Ari Photography is a BOUTIQUE business, not just any photography company. My guest books are NOT simply images printed in a book (like we all know you can do now a days simply by printing through Costco.) They are not the "norm" of guest books either! They are custom, hard page, smudge proof (linen/art paper) Albums made with some MAJOR TLC! 20 pages, about 40 of your engagement images. Gorgoeus works of art themselves. Pair them with your 20x30 float wrap that comes with your wedding package and whamo..major statement pieces right at the entry of your reception.

Ambers Rock the Frock




I absolutely cannot believe I completely bypassed posting Amber's Rock the Frock photos on my Blogspot, especially with how much I love them! I know they are all over facebook! Unfortunately I don't have time to get them all round up right now so to see more please go to my Ari Photography facebook page and look up the "Rock the Frock" folder to find more!
I do however have this image that ended up being very special not only to me but to her entire family. I feel strongly that a few angels helped me out in creating this image for Amber and her parents..apparently this is the way Amber's parents see her..purely angelic and perfect. I love it! I love the love of a mother and father. After the many trials that Amber has been through in the past, how blessed I feel to be a part of something so special for the entire family!

Another fav..

Lauren & Eric's Guest Book




Lauren asked for a guest book of her engagement photos as a sign in to her wedding in just 2 1/2 weeks..I wonder how many more of my brides have thought about taking up this opportunity. I decided to create not only a book but a nice album meaning hard bound pages, art watercolor paper (so there is no smearing or smudging like costco poaper gives you) a custom cover et. Were all about boutique up here in this neck of the woods so were not going to create just ANY book you can print off from Costco! I'll ofcourse be using one of my boutique printing companies..very excited...Here is the layout..white space ofcourse for guest to sign in.






I love this page below because the guest can write on the chalkboard! Originally that said the date of their wedding, however it was changed to December..IN TAHOE!:) So thanks to photoshop we were able to take what could have been a useless photo into something extra fun for their guest book!...:)

Taylor/Freitas Wedding Photography- Mandalay Bay Beach Resort




Here are two more to finish the grouping of favorite wedding photos from Candace and Allen Freitas' wedding last month. That was such a fun weekend! I sure loved this edgy couple! One thing I love about wedding photography is the diversity of clients that book with me. Some appreciate the arts a bit more than others and I got the feeling from this couple that they dug the bright colors and mood that I often like to add to my images.
When you book an artistic wedding photographer, don't be scared off by the label. At least when you book with Ari Photography, you get unique/artsy wedding photography as well as the traditional shots. I shoot photojournalistically throughout the wedding ceremony and reception, traditional for your formals (unless this couple really wants me to go for it!) Model/Fashion for the brides and bridesmaids, grooms and groomsmen, and bride and groom together. Artsy for the Details (rings, dress, shoes, table scapes). And Model/Fashion for your Rock the Frocks and engagements (the degree of that depends on the couple) I think this mix makes for some gorgous and unique wedding albums and memories altogether!
So really your getting the best of all forms of photography with an artistic photographer! Perhaps not all artistic photographers include traditionals, but I know that grandma and grandpa are going to want traditional so your going to get it!
Keep in mind that these photos are for YOU and your fiance, sure your parents may be footing the bill so go ahead and include them in your final decision, but don't let their traditional preference out way what you really appreciate. They will get traditionals from the formals I guarantee it! However you will be the couple having to look at the images for years to come!
Just a few thoughts:) In this case the bride, groom and entire wedding party were edgy, so I had a blast processing the shots:)

Project Haute Couture: Porcelain Couture






What a great shoot we pulled together in just 3 days! I am still working on the photos now but had to share a few with you what I have completed so far. I named this shoot Porcelain Couture because in many of the photos the bride is portrayed as a porcelain doll. This is one of the many options you have as a bride booking with me, to do a rock the frock session, and if you would like...become a doll! Ari Photography stretches the limits to the typical photography and takes them to a whole new level.
DOLLS....(Rock the Frock option)..
