Tips from the Pros

Larry and I had a blast photographing the Spirit of the Horse event in Carpenteria last September. Spirit of the Horse is a fantastic outdoor event benefiting Return to Freedom. This nonprofit run by Neda Demayo raises funds and awareness for Return to Freedom’s 300-acre wild horse sanctuary. This was the first time we participated in the event by not only donating a photo shoot to the silent auction but also photographing the event itself. There was great entertainment, food and lots of shopping all laid out in an “old wild west” setting. We also got to hand deliver the photographs to the sanctuary in Lompoc the following day, which was a real treat! Thanks Neda for the personalized tour and for showing us so many beautiful horses. Please check out www.returntofreedom.org for more information and see our slide show below.

We are going national! Our exclusive Engagement Story Albums have been quietly enchanting our clients for months but the cat is out of the bag. Our feature in Inside Weddings “Discoveries” section has the phone ringing off the hook! For those of you not familiar with our Engagement Story Albums, let me fill you in. We begin by photographing you and your sweetie in a fun, relaxed setting, ensuring you’ll have lots of wonderful photographs with which to fill your book. As always, we love to integrate our custom printed museum quality photographs that we have become known for. Once we layout your photos, the real fun begins. By asking you and your fiancé a series of questions about yourselves and each other, we are able to tell the perfect story of you as a couple. We take these quotes and hand calligraphy them into your hand bound album. The funny thing is – the answers you give us always seem to correlate perfectly with the photographs. The end result is more than a photo album. It’s an heirloom depicting not only what you look like but also how you are feeling at such a momentous time in your lives together. Even if you don’t live in Southern California or aren’t able to fly us to your town for a photo session, you can still have an Engagement Story Album of your own – just send us some of your favorite photos and we’ll interview you over the phone and via email. Soon you will have an adorable book that is all about you. These albums also make wonderful guest books at your wedding reception. Your guests will love looking at the photos and finding out more about you. But be warned, these little beauties have been known to illicit a tear or two so make sure to have a box of tissues nearby!

Isabel Lawrence Photographers congratulate same sex partners on their ability to be recognized as equals in the eyes of the law in the State of California. We have long been proponents of same sex marriages, shooting our first gay wedding over 10 years ago.

It continues to be a great year for us at Isabel Lawrence Photographers. The item below is a press release issued by the Museum of Ventura County mentioning our exhibit, lecture and radio interviews and the item below that is a press release issued by WPPI. That photograph was taken at a beautiful estate in the Berkshires at Caolionn and Sam Waldman’s wedding last September.
