Zelo Photography at the Bridal Bazaar

Monday, February 1, 2010 Posted in Cinema, Zelo News

Thank you to everybody who stopped by our booth at Sunday’s Bridal Bazaar!  We appreciate all the wonderful things you all had to say about our booth and our work…it was music to our ears!  As many of you know, we actually ran out of our hand-assembled pricing brochures and we’re sorry for that.  We just didn’t expect quite so many of you, haha!  It won’t happen again, we promise  :)

Next up is a short clip of our booth setup.  Forgive us for the weird “flicker” you see in the video….we failed to take the wonderful, beautiful fluorescent lighting frequency into account, haha!  Enjoy it anyway, and by all means leave us a comment!  You should also shoot us an email and set up a time to meet and chat about your wedding :)

A Quickie From A Fun Sibling Session

Friday, January 8, 2010 Posted in Families, Portraits

Last year we got to shoot Sandy & Chris’s engagement session….this year Sandy is back with her brother Kelley to do some photos for their mom.  As we downloaded the images tonight this was one of our favorites and I think their mom should definitely blow this one up HUGE and put it on her living room wall….what do ya think?  :)

we’ll have the rest in a few weeks, including some “regular” ones, haha!

Shay & Broc’s Engagement!

Tuesday, December 15, 2009 Posted in Engagements

How can we not love Shay & Broc?  Gosh, from the get-go we hit it off with these two and have had some great conversations about the contestants on Survivor, haha!  They made the engagement session really easy for us and since then I’ve been able to come up with a couple new names for Broc like “B-Rock” and “Broc-tober”.  Anyway, enjoy a few of their engagement photos and stay tuned for their wedding photos from The Ivy Hotel coming soon!

The Bodacious Booth at Danielle’s Bash

Friday, December 11, 2009 Posted in Personal

Birthdays can be a good time.  The other night we got to celebrate our good friend Danielle’s birthday and we had a good time with the Bodacious Booth. We got a blast from the past with a bunch of 80’s outfits and it was like, totally rad!  So take a chill pill for a minute and bug out on a few of our favorites before you go mental:

I think everybody needs to goof off like this at their birthday party.  In fact, I think everybody needs to goof off like this in their everyday lives once in a while also.  It’s good for you.  If you didn’t know that, now you know…and knowing is half the battle!

Lindsay & Dan Rock El Cortez

Wednesday, December 9, 2009 Posted in Weddings

Lindsay & Dan’s wedding was a big day with big fun, and after shooting their engagement photos we knew that’s what it would be.  The girls got ready down at the Embassy Suites while the guys were busy being guys over at the Hard Rock Hotel.  A hop, skip and a jump over to El Cortez and we’re at the wedding!  El Cortez is just plain cool and has tons of character.  Lindsay & Dan were able to incorporate a bunch of cool little details that just made the wedding all that much better.  Here’s a few of our favorites!
