Your fiancé, a beautiful beach, the perfect sunset…what else do ya need?

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

Well it always helps to have a stellar photographer around to capture the moment, eh? (grin) This was a spectacular evening and a wonderfully happy couple. We look forward to seeing these two again when they walk down the aisle in February next year! Incidentally, these photos have not been retouched in Photoshop. This is what was captured in camera.

This must be one of the most photographed places in the world! Any why? Because the light under the Santa Monica Pier is truly wonderful. Here’s a set taken from Rachel and Frank’s engagement shoot.

Santa Monica Beach is such an iconic place from a photography point of view. It is so familiar to anyone who has ever watched much TV pretty much anywhere in the world. The late afternoon sunlight at this time of year is truly perfect. Here’s an engagement shoot we did for a fun couple. We’re going to split this up over a few posts as there were some outstanding shots!

Now THAT’S what we call a buffet!!!

How about WOW! Good Gracious catered the Catie Awards in Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago. Many thousands of caterers and restauranteurs from all over the world attended. And everyone was totally inspired by the food and the presentation. It was DELICIOUS! And much fun to photograph, lemme tell ya! The curry fries, yummmmmmy!

Good Gracious Seminar on How to Think Outside the Buffet Box

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

This was a Catersource conference highlight! Pauline Parry and her right hand man, event planner Dan Smith, hosted a fabulously entertaining seminar on state of the art buffets for the catering and restaurant industry. There was live art, ballet dancing, thought provoking concepts and much hilarity!
