Well you’ve all had a sneak peak at Kristin and George’s wedding from Kristina Zidon’s introductory post. In addition, their Engagement Session was this fall at the Alameda Open Space.  Kristin and George were married on January 17th at Risen Savior Church and the reception was at the Marriott Pyramid. This wedding was organized a bit differently than normal. We started at the bride’s house with some getting ready photos, then headed to the Marriott Pyramid where we had scheduled a time for the bride and groom to see each other for the first time, and then we finished most of the rest of the photos there at the hotel before going to the church for the ceremony. The ceremony started at 6:00 and, of course, it was dark by then and that is why everything was shot before hand. Kristin and I planned this whole day out minute by minute in order to ensure that everything went smoothly and that there was enough time to get everything done. I was very impressed, though not surprised, that we pulled the whole thing without a hitch! Shooting this wedding with me was Kristina Zidon and she did a fabulous job as always.

To Kristin and George, Thank you so much for making us a part of your special day!

P.S. I have marked Kristina’s shots with her initials, kZ, under the photo.

I just ran across this video, I had sort of forgotten about it.  It’s a little best of 2008 I put together last fall for a bridal show.   I can’t wait to do another one with all the weddings we have shot since then.   I wish there were more hours in the day, I’m just having to much fun with this stuff.

As always, things change fast around here and as Dry Heat Photography continues to grow the opportunity to add another awesomely talented photographer to our roster of wedding photographers has presented itself.  Now this is not just anyone off the street. This is the one and only Kristina Zidon! She is our good friend, collegue, incredible photographer and gifted album designer. Yes, Kristina is multi-talented and we are so thrilled to have her as part of our team!  When she recently found herself unencumbered you better believe her first phone call was from me and the conversation went like this;

ring ring ring

Kristina -” Hello?”

Me- “Hi Kristina this is DeAnna, you have to shoot weddings for us!”

Kristina- “Well, if you insist...”

Me – “Woo Hoo!”

One small technical difficulty is that most of Kristina’s portfolio is owned by her previous employer. This is not a problem, per sey, because I know full well what kind of photography she is capable of.  It is, however,  just a small inconvience. Therefore, our first matter of business is helping her to rebuild a new portfolio.  Kristina shot a wedding with me last weekend that was steller! I have included some of her shots with this blog entry but there will be many more in the official blog entry for that wedding – which is coming soon…
