Part of being a photographer is attending workshops and learning new techiques.  Constant practice and experimentation is part of life for us.  It's the best way that we continue to improve our craft and art.  Last weekend I had the great pleasure to attend a photography workshop hosted by the San Diego Photog Shootout Group.  The workshop pulled out all of the strings - getting a awesome venue, models, stylist, make-up artist, hair styist, and great photographer mentors.  Here is a sneak peak of one of the shots from the shoot.

A Look Back - Tammy - Baby Portraits

When we aren't shooting Weddings or Events, we also love to take portraits!  Here's a set of photos that I took of my friend's niece, Tammy.  She was a cute and adorable to shoot.  Babies can be a challenge to shoot but she was awesome to photograph.  Tammy always smiled and loved the camera!


A Look Back - Mary & Andrew

Over the next couple of post I will share some the past weddings, events, and portrait sessions that we've since we started our photography business.  Let's begin with Mary & Andrew.

I help shoot this wedding a little under a year ago with my friend and fellow photographer, Rowell of PhotosbyRowell.  It was great to work with him to capture this beautiful wedding for Mary and Andrew.  The ceremony and reception took place at the El Cortez in Downtown San Diego to help convey their Classic Hollywood wedding!


A Look Back - The First Oliver Henry Wedding - Triana & Eric

Triana and Eric was our first wedding that Henry and I shot together.  The wedding took place at Our Lady - Mt. Carmel Church and the Reception took place at the Hard Rock Hotel in downtown San Diego.


A Look Back - My First Wedding - Ana & Eric

Over the next couple of post I will share some the past weddings, events, and portrait sessions that we've done since we started our photography business.  Let's begin with Ana & Eric!

Ana and Eric was the very first wedding I shot. Man, was I nervous that day because I didn't know what to expect since I haven't really shot a wedding before. But I took the leap of faith and followed my gut and knew if I did that everything will be fine. So let's take a look where it all began.

Wedding Site: Windansea Beach (La Jolla, CA)
Reception: La Jolla, CA


Hello Update

Hello all!
I hope you guys are doing well and that you have enjoyed your summer. Well it's been awhile since I've last given you guys an update on what's going on with Oliver Henry Photography. We are both doing well. It's been a crazy summer of adventures, trips, changes, and work.
On my part, after going camping in San Simeon with friends, I went back to work to finish up my project, then afterwards left for New York City with a college buddy of Henry and I. I gave him the Ollie Tour of New York. You can check out the pics on my flickr site. Then after the trip I got a notice that I will changing departments. So I moved from Construction to Caltrans Design. So I have a desk job now. But before I got settle in, I went on another trip. This time I went to Utah to attend my great friends' wedding in Park City. However taking their advice I turned it into a mini-vacation for myself and visited Moab, Utah to explore Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. So now I'm working on getting all the pictures in order and hopefully soon I will update the website and blog of Oliver Henry Photography, soon. So i've been busy.
On Henry's part, Henry has also been having some great adventures himself. This summer he went on a mulitple day hike in the Sierra Nevadas. As well as move to the East Coast to attend Business school.
But don't worry Henry and I are still working together. It will need some planning on our side but we will do what we have to do to make you guys happy. You guys rock! Thanks for all your support. Check back soon for updates.
Nice to get you guys up to date with what's going on with Oliver Henry Photography. Let us know how we can improve. Thanks - Oliver & Henry.

Disco Divas - Premier Catering Event

Flash back to 1970's, the era of disco music and divas!  Disco Divas was the name of the game for this year's Rady's fundraiser hosted by Premier Catering at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.  Having shot this event last year, it was nice to do a repeat shoot for Premier.  This year it was filled with many surprises and guest.  Check out the pictures to find out.

Thanks to Premier for giving me a place to practice my art and craft.  You guys totally rock and I can't thank you enough for all the opportunities that you have given me.  -Oliver


Vacation - Boston - Weekend Getaway

It's time for the Annual Weekend Trip.  This year's weekend trip took me to Boston, Massachusetts.  I went with my good friend and fellow photo buddy Bryan.  It was a nice laid back trip with visits to Harvard Square, MIT, the Samuel Adams Brewery, the Freedom Trail, and other Boston landmarks.  Visiting Boston, I also go a chance to hangout and catch up with my friend Lisa, who I have know since elementary school.  Overall it was just a nice quick weekend trip.  Check out some of the pictures from the trip.
