Mark and I were just reminiscing of past fun e-shoots and we came across this VIDEO which portrayed what a couple can expect during a Kostelphoto e-shoot. I personally really love how it captures one of our favourite couples in love and displays KP in action as well as our great fine art images. Mark can be seen in action several times which shows how involved we get with our couples. We are not afraid to run, jump and get in to the action (definitely we get into what we do). The video gives our future couples, a sense of the time we invest in planning the locations and making sure our couples have a variety of images and diverse backdrops all while having fun. Jen and Davide were great sports, since we took them to Forks of the Credit river, where we shot at a water fall, train tracks, small village, Badlands and even in the ruins of a country barn. Because we got to know them so well, we even incorporated their talents (can you tell Jen is a nurse and Davide loves repairing cars?). Thanks to BluPearl Media Films for coming along and capturing it all on video. When booking e-shoot sessions with Kostelphoto, couples will really get a personalized session that has them getting familiar with what to expect. So on the big Wedding date, you will be so comfy with us around. We provide an experience during our e-shoots. We just don’t want a few great shoots, we want a bunch! Plus, we feel it is a great investment for you to get comfortable in front of our camera’s and see what a piece of cake it can it can be for you. When you are relaxed with us, it really reflects in your images. Plus, we are all about making fine art images so spending time with our couples really makes sense. Hope this post helps couples out there, who might be looking to commission artists. We really have our heart in what we do, and we believe it shows.
March 7th turned out to be a beautiful sunny day and attracted the masses. Diana and Ryan had been hoping for a winter shoot with snow and ice, since Diana ice skates, but they ended up enjoyed a lovely spring-like day instead (what unpredictable weather we are having in Toronto). The warm breeze was blowing in the harbour, and the sun was shinning….and Mark and I could feel the love and attraction between these two lovebirds. It’s always a pleasure to shoot those in love (and a couple as friendly & nice as Diana + Ryan). It’s wonderful when two great people find each other in this busy world, and we are so happy that Diana + Ryan will be tying the knot on July 17 and we look forward to documenting their wonderful upcoming wedding day. Until then, we hope you both enjoy some of your engagement photos from Toronto harbour. Oh by the way, Diana was one of the first brides ever to pick up our camera and review the days shoot without us even having a chance to do any post-production (which I know many of you top notch photographers would cringe at the idea of a client reviewing sooc images). We thought this was a special moment and would blog about it. I know people have fear of their work being critiqued, but see….all is well and Diana and Ryan are still our friends and confident in our skills. Now they can have a look at these blog photos to witness the magic Mark works on our images, to add style, flare and creativity (something a professional, creative photographer should provide – so any future brides out there consider this a tip, when looking for a great photographer stay away from people who just shoot & burn).
Without further a due, enjoy images of our friends Diana + Ryan.
This post is a quick answer to all the inquiries from photogs about our b-cards. We got them done last year through Tasteofinkstudios. Self designed with multitude of options that they provide. In fact they do design as well, should you need it. The quality and thickness of stock is unparalleled that we could find around. Custom die for foil stamp is really sharp, spot UV and rounded corners are also an option. Not the cheapest but well worth the presentation. We had nice cards before too, but again countless compliments on the feel and look. Having a nice business cards for presentation is really important and being consistent with your brand goes along way. So do check them out, They are in the US and service is reasonably fast. Ciao
William was very sweet and mostly cooperative for the whole session.
Hope this will hold you off until Monday.
