Studio EMP Blog (formerly Eckman Maus Photography)

Last night was a great wedding for me too- down at Surf and Sand in Laguna with a great couple- Mike and Julie got a lot of practice during their engagement shoot in Central Park in May.

My good buddy Mario from Vero Image helped myself and a new assistant, Jeni (no, not my wife) to get some killer images at one of my favorite venues ever.

Jeni did great at thinking for herself- I like to let assistants and second shooters be free and use their own brains to express themselves with their own style instead of shooting like me which wouldn't be true. By the looks of her images, we will be seeing a lot more of her in the future- she was great to be around.

I also got to work with a great coordinator for the first time. Maria Lindsay and her assistant were totally on-top of everything and still easy to work with.


Mario got some extra-credit while I was shooting the boys:


At the bell-hop's desk, yes, that's a phone on the left- we'll Photoshop that out during the edit...Such a beautiful day and the perfect time to be on the beach! ...except for the waters rolling right up to the hotel and all around us! It was high tide.
