Sheree and Scott Married!! 0

Posted November 9, 2008
Sheree and Scott are two beautiful people! Both would pass as professional models and I enjoyed photographing every moment of their wedding. The wedding location took place in front of the lovely beaches of Oceanside, California. About 40 minutes away from Central San Diego. Atop a home with glorious views of the ocean, including the sunset, is where the ceremony and reception took place.
Sheree and Scott, you guys are a great couple and I had a blast being your wedding photographer and would take pleasure in photographing you two again in the future.

It’s not normal to see the newly married couple get arrested on their wedding day.. Someone had called about the noise at around 8pm but it was all in fun when the cops arrived.

Photo Project Updates 0

Posted October 23, 2008

November is right around the corner and I’m posting an update on what Photos by Rowell is working on. At the top of the list is Sheree and Scott’s wedding photos. I’m going through each photo and they are turning out really well. 

I’ve booked two other photoshoots:

Nathan & Riley Child Photography Portraits
I’m looking forward to working with these two kids. We’ll be working in their parents’ home and then moving to the neighborhood park to get some creative playground shots. Hopefully, the kids won’t notice me as much with the camera and act naturally but most importantly, listening to me and their parents to get the shots they want. For this I’ll be focusing on using the Canon 50mm 1.2L. I’m pretty excited to get some sweet child photography bokeh.

DJ Misha Urban Photography Portraits
Mid-November I will have the pleasure of working with San Diego’s house Dj, DJ Misha. Just a little bio on Misha: Read more »

8 Photography Tips for Shooting Against the Sun 8

Posted October 15, 2008

Many times I have done wedding photography and portrait photography against the sun and depending on how you see this situation you can either get bad pictures or succeed and get creative pictures.

1. Use a lightmeter..

To get a sense of what exposure you will need to properly light your back lit subject

2. Use your on-camera flash

Pop that sucker and light up your model. You’ll at least get to see the person’s face.

3. Use an external flash (1, 2 or more..)

It will be a lot better than using your on-camera flash.. a lot more powerful too. But of course you’ll need something to trigger these, such as a pocket wizard. Read more »

Wedding Photography in Oceanside - Sheree and Scott 2

Posted October 12, 2008

I had the greatest pleasure of photographing Sheree and Scott’s wedding in Oceanside, Saturday October 11 2008. I made my way to the location at 2pm to photograph both Bride and Groom getting ready. I first started with Scott because I knew he would be ready much faster than Sheree and what I ended up learning was that Scott was a Read more »
