Hi
everyone.
If you hadn't guessed by now, I am a photographer. Primarily a wedding photographer.
I operate both on my own from LancasterPhoto.net,
and
sometimes in tandem with my brother under LancasterMedia.net.
He (Keith) is a cinematographer in the Los Angeles area, but we will do
the occasional wedding
together as a team. I often travel to do my work, with my home area
being Walnut Creek, CA and the surrounding San Francisco Bay Area.
Planning a wedding? Here's a bit of free advice that I've organized, based on my experiences as a vendor and as a guest.
A bit about me:
- I
graduated from the University of California-Santa Cruz with a BA in
Business Management Economics, of all things.
- I
am a musician at heart, and therefore know a lot of bands/musicians.
This would probably explain the extensive gallery of Live/Promotional
photos on my site.
- Video
editing is a strong hobby of mine, whether it be for someone else's
project or for my own promotion. You can view clips of a studio session I did for a
designer, or you can check out a "Making the Record" documentary
that I put together.
- I
consider myself to be extremely friendly. I take my business very
seriously, but that in no way means I have to be serious. More often
than not, I am asked to be more a part of someone's wedding, rather
than a contract employee. I like it that way.
- I
was not raised in a religious household. I respect and admire anyone
who is honestly devoted and loyal to their spiritual belief system, and
adapt as needed. So whether you have a traditional ceremony or
something totally off the wall, I am always excited to be a part of it.
- Shooting
for models is a relatively new direction for me, but I am pursuing it.
So please ask!
- I
am observant. Most of my couples prefer a more candid
"photojournalistic" approach to their wedding, and I find that to be
the most fun.
- Be
open with me! I cannot think of the last time I was put off or offended
by anything, and I'm always looking to shoot something new. Make
suggestions if you have them!
Contact me
about anything. The best way is
clay@lancasterphoto.net, or the contact form (icon above).
I am often out and about, but thanks to technology (i.e. my iPhone) I
can get emails all day long. Use it!
I look forward
to working with you.
