This is me all day today 😂 few morning mini sessions and my second to last wedding of 2018... it’s crazy how fast this year has gone! ⠀ ⠀ Thanks for the snap @oliviarichardsphoto 😂👍🏼 .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #adrianaklasphotography #comminutyovercompetition #therisingtidesociety #womeninbiz #bosslady #momlife #bosslife #wifelife #myclickstory #photographerlife #bayareaweddingphotographer #bayareafamilyphotographer #danvillephotographer #livermoreweddingphotographer #menloparkphotographer #eastbayweddingphotographer You really can’t go wrong along this Cali coastline 💛 #weekendvibes⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #adrianaklasphotography #mamiya645 #portra400 #kodakportra #mediumformat #brideandgroom #Filmweddingphotographer #hybridphotographer #canonphotographer #weddinginspo #weddinginspiration #bridalinspo #bayareaweddingphotographer #menloparkphotographer #paloaltophotographer #danvillephotographer #livermorephotographer #engagementphotography #engaged #weddingphotography #theknot #lovelove At weddings I get asked all the time... "What's your favorite part about photographing weddings?" "Aren't you nervous?" "How many photos did you take today?" All really good questions... And here is how I often respond: ⠀ ⠀ 1.) Favorite part of the day... hands down getting to hang out and be around two people (and their families) who are so in love they just can't wait to spend the rest of their lives together! I mean... everyone is so happy! It's like the #1 day of their life! (am I right?!) And that makes me so happy! This stunning couple right here has been together since high school and just look at how in love they are! ⠀ ⠀ 2.) Do I get nervous... Um, yes! I feel like I get nervous right before ceremony, I think because it's "The Big Show," the reason we are all there and the most important part of the day... To watch and celebrate two people (and families) becoming one.⠀ ⠀ 3.) I take a lot of photos at weddings! Like 4,000 images (in some cases closer to 5-6,000 image) and then I get the deer in the heads look back... like WHAT?! But don't worry! The finally gallery does not include that many images... For instance, for every family photo I typically take 10+ images of the exact same thing, because someone's eyes are guaranteed to be shut ;) And part of my job is to get that 4,000 number down and make a nice seamless gallery for the client. I never give an actual image quantity quote because every wedding is so unique and different, ie: # of guests, if there is a bridal party, if so how many? Huge list of family photos, etc... you get the idea... But on average my wedding galleries are around 1,000 images. ⠀ ⠀ Now you know a few of the ins-and-outs of AKP :) Cheers to Thursday!⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #adrianaklasphotography #brideandgroom #weddingphotogarpher #bayareaweddingphotographer #weddinginspiration #outdoorwedding #eastbayweddingphotographer #menloparkphotographer #danvillephotographer #livermorephotographer #truelove #happiness #forphotographers So yesterday I was super motivated to get organized and situated for the week, starting with a run to the post office. I got a bunch of weddings packed up and ready to go, film from the weekend packed, got Cameron in the car... went to the post office... It was closed 👍🏼🤦🏼‍♀️ Didn’t even realize yesterday was a holiday! So today was the day to get organized!... Sent out my wedding packages, film and all the things! So excited for my brides to get their prints and custom USB’s 🤗 .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #adrianaklasphotography #mamiya645 #portra400 #kodakportra #mediumformat #bridalstyle #bride #bridesmaids #bridesmaidstyle #bridalinspiration #weddingstyle #bridalparty #bridalgown #bridesmaiddresses #paloaltophotographer #danvillephotographer #livermorephotographer #bayareaweddingphotographer #menloparkphotographer #weddingphotography #napawedding #winecountrywedding Now that I am back from an amazing wedding down in Palm Springs I feel like I can fully embrace the cooler weather, sweaters, all things fall, and get on the pumpkin bandwagon! I'm so excited! It's for sure my favorite season, and also my craziest! I love all the fall colors, that golden fall light, all the pumpkins, getting darker earlier (even though I need more hours in my day! But the kids think once it's dark out that means bed time, and I am all about that, so bring on the 5pm sunset! Haha!) #fall #allthepumpkins #photovisionprints Heading home and ready to celebrate this little lady! I cannot believe my baby girl is 7?! Where does the time go?! I feel like she grew up so fast! Emily, I want you to forever rock your gold pants, do you, and live your best life! So much love for my #littleemmalove 💛 Saturday, which means wedding day at this beautiful spot with @bashplease! All the desert vibes for today! 🤩 .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #adrianaklasphotography #colony29 #palmspringswedding #bayareaweddingphotographer #desertvibes #allthecacti #lovemyjob ⠀ The high five, the smiles, the glances at the guests that came to celebrate their marriage... that’s what makes the day and that’s what makes me so happy. That's why I love my job!... All this right here 🤗 So many smiles and all the love!

I'm already married" Hahaha!... Does that sound so ridiculous? Do any of you other wedding photogs/wedding peeps ever get those nerves going throughout the day? I'm so curious! All the talent on this beautiful day with with these two! @kalialana @letsreclaimthiswood @indianspringscalistoga @reaganlynnfilms @handsomelovecalligraphy @abeautifulceremony @amandavidmardesign . . . . . . #adrianaklasphotography #quinlove #indianspringswedding #indiansprings #indianspringscalistoga #calistogawedding #weddingphotography #bayareaweddingphotographer #livermorephotographer #danvillephotographer #menloparkphotographer #eastbayweddingphotographer #bridandgroom #weddinginspo #realwedding #theknot Motherhood is no joke, and so is being a business owner... you put the two together and you get crazy time all the time! Am I right?! ⠀ ⠀ I get asked a lot how I make it work with the kids, and honestly it takes a village. For weddings and/or any weekend work my hubs is left in charge of the kiddos and I pretty much peel out of the driveway after managing the kid things all week ;) We have a good thing going and know we are both best when we are busy and productive. During the week I photograph a lot of newborn sessions and @betty_irv comes to my rescue in watching the little 🐥🐥🐣⠀ ⠀ I will say when we first had Cameron it was super tricky to manage a baby all over again... he wouldn’t take a bottle from anyone (especially me!), then he wouldn’t take formula so it was rough and hard to work! Thank goodness that phase is behind us and he is so much easier now. He was hands down my toughest baby which is crazy because I thought he would be the easiest, because, ya know... he’s the 3rd! ⠀ ⠀ So yeah it’s total chaos all the time, but I like to think of it as controlled chaos 😉 And at the end of the day it feels really good to get to do/be both! ⠀ (and really really really loving my Mama jacket thanks to @brooke.averill and @heyitslizfranco, and the amaze @hillarymayberyphotography... all the heart eyes ladies!)⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #momlife #momboss #motherhood #motherhoodunplugged #sunvalleyidaho #myhappyplace #momtrepreneur #photographerlife #familyphotography #family #keepinitklasy #momtogs #clickinmoms
