This is me... smile and camera in hand. And when there isn't a camera in the hand there's a good chance I am holding my baby, some type of kids gear or an ice tea. ⠀ I am terrible at Instagram, but trying to get better... running a business in an Insta-World is no joke! My kids think I was born in 1994... I was not, I was born in 1981... but it makes me laugh every time I ask them my birthday. And we have watched Hocus Pocus 🔮 at least once a week this month, I 💛October. Cheers to Friday friends!!! 🍻 #friyay⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ 📸 @oliviarichardsphoto #adrianaklasphotography #bayareaweddingphotographer #fridayintroductions #photographerlife #danvillephotographer #livermorephotographer #walnutcreekphotographer #menloparkphotographer #paloaltophotographer #communityovercompetition #risingtidesociety #weddingphotographer #weddingpro #createyourhappy⠀ I realize I post a lot of photos of my couples (actually families and babies too... so people in general, but for right now I am specifying brides/grooms ;) I love show casing the connection between you two and so much of that is why I love photography, capturing connection and emotion...⠀ ⠀ BUT, I also realize so much more goes into planing your special day! Every detail is deeply thought about and carefully considered. I might not highlight it enough here on my Insta feed... but capturing those carefully thought out details is just as special for me as capturing you and your families and guests. ⠀ ⠀ When you look back at your wedding photos in 5, 10, 15 years and remember the day, yes it was the people there to help celebrate that made it special, but it was also the details that can bring the day back to life to help you relive it all! ⠀ ⠀ Bottom line is the details are important in telling your story and I love them :) ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #adrianaklasphotography #indianspringsresort #indianspringscalistoga #indiansprings #napawedding #calistogawedding #weddingdetails #mamiya645 #portra400 #kodakportra #mediumformat #brideandgroom #Filmweddingphotographer #hybridphotographer #canonphotographer #weddinginspo #weddinginspiration #bridalinspo⠀ #bayareaweddingphotographer #menloparkphotographer #paloaltophotographer #danvillephotographer #livermorephotographer #engagementphotography #engaged #weddingphotography #theknot 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!
