Metal Cover Wedding Album Collection

For couple’s that are seeking something really unique when it comes to their wedding album cover, we offer metal covers from Graphistudio. For Monica and Sal’s album we did a brushed silver on their 12×12 storybook album. The cover photo is actually etched into the metal, giving it a very nice soft and warm look. The parent albums come standard with a metallic print slip cover and give-a-way brag books have a metallic thicker print stock for their covers . As you can see the print quality is amazing and the three products together are simply stunning!

Introduction to My Recent “Film M’bemba Fakoli – A Musical Journey Through Guinea, West Africa”

My two greatest passions in life are photography and drumming. That is why I feel so blessed to be able to combine the two b y maing films in West Africa, where I have been intensely studying the drumming for nine years.

In January of 2008 I was commisioned to make a performance DVD of some of the greatest musicians from Guinea, West Africa, including Bolokada Conde, Fadouba Oulare, Lansee Kante, Koumbagna Conde, and many more. We filmed in many villages in towns over the course of a month using 3 high definition cameras and a high end audio recorder.

The editing took almost a year due to having such a busy wedding schedule in 2o08 but the DVD is now complete and for sale at many retail outlets through the country. The name of the film is “M’bemba Fakoli: A Musical Journey Through Guinea, West Africa” and you can view the introduction to the DVD here.

Rasika and Mukul’s Wedding Part 2

The last blog post had the morning Hindu ceremony photos at the India Community Center in Milpitas, Ca. This post has some of my favorite reception photos which was held at the beautiful Decathlon Club in Santa Clara, Ca. The reception was decorated so beautifully with many amazing lighting effects and table decorations. The food was exquisite, and the chef himself was even there. Of course, the dancing was off the hook so this wedding weekend was pretty spectacular. I could have not asked for more. We had a blast, all of us, myself, and my four assistants!
