It’s LIVE!

I can’t contain my excitement!!! After 7 long months of hard work by the design team at Flosites, my newly branded website has launched. I love the new logo. Jenny Ambrose at Flosites did a beautiful job in creating a new branding for me. You can see a lot of personal elements in here. I wasn’t so sure if I could open myself up to the world like this. But, I think this gives out a lot about me. Up and comer videographers Bryce and Jesh at Hello Lucid shot this fun video of us during a real engagement shoot that is also showcased on this site. I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. This site is really a true reflection of my personality.

I have to express my gratitude towards a few people here. THANK YOU Nicole Stagnaro, the amazing who I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing the wedding for last summer, for providing me feedback for this site from the day one; Ross and the team at Flosites for putting up with me for the last 7 months and creating this beautiful design for me. You guys nailed it! My incredible clients, I couldn’t thank you enough for keeping my passion alive. I never knew I could do this, and I sure couldn’t have done this without you. THANK YOU for trusting me and bringing me in to your lives.

Cheers…

2010 has been one of the craziest years of my life and today we mark the beginning of another decade. My life has changed in ten years, I can’t wait to see what the next ten will bring to life. I welcomed 2011 with my man watching a spectacular fireworks show right by the Bay Bridge in my favorite city San Francisco. Waking up in the city, taking a morning walk by the way with a cup of coffee has to be a great first morning of the year. And now I’m blogging from Santa Cruz using one incredible invention of the last decade, my iPhone. I’m excited to see what technology gives us in 2011.

Thank you all for reading my blog. I promise more fabulous-ness in the near future. New branding and a custom blogsite is on the way. Please stay tuned

Happy New Year! Have a prosperous year ahead.

Happy Holidays…

off to WPPI

admin — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 07:29:30 +0000

Finally this year, I have managed to attend WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Photographers International). It was a last minutes plan! I was sick for a while, couldn’t decide if I should go or not. It was on Friday only when I pulled the trigger and arranged everything. So that means that I will be in Vegas..yippyyy…I think this will be a great way to kick off my wedding season. Immediately after I return from Vegas I will be shooting Meghan and Lukes spring wedding in Sacramento. It will only get crazier after that!!! Can’t wait!

I’m excited to be at WPPI this year. I don’t know my shcedule yet, but I know that I’ll be busy. I’ll be there for two days only, therefore, I plan to squeeze in as much as I can. I will be checking emails, don’t hesitate to contact me you have any questions for me.

I will be back in a few days…

Wedding Wire’s Bride’s Choice Award

admin — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 04:57:04 +0000

A few weeks ago I got an email to be informed that Impressions by Nudrat Photography was selected to receive the WeddingWire 2010 Brideâ€™s Choice Awardsâ„¢.Â That made me super happy, my hard work was finally starting to get recognized by the world! The Bride’s Choice Awards recognizes and celebrates excellence in quality and service within the wedding industry, as determined by over 500,000 newlyweds. Being a recipient of this award means my services are in the top 5 percent of all wedding professionals in the WeddingWire Community!

As I mentioned earlier, I never imagined becoming a photographer, let alone starting my own photography business! To get a recognition,Â that was totally decidedÂ by the brides’ and grooms’ experience with me, is an ultimate honor. I’m glad to have found my passion doing a job that captures fond memories, love of tender hearts andÂ the beauty and passion we all share. This is why I love doing what I do! I may get up one day and reject the idea of writing code, but hopefully, I will not stop capturing life as it goes on.Â

Cheers…
