Proof books

Although proof books have been around since the wedding photography infancy the look of proof books has greatly changed. Early this year I started using press printed books for proofing, they have the look and feel of a high quality book you would buy at Borders or any other book store. They come with a dust jacket for protection, they are elegant and beautiful. I have been offering this book to all my clients, the response has been of the charts, my favorite comments is that they look through this book more than their completed album.

Amy & Andrew

I love shooting in the City, Andrew was born in the Uk so for their session San Francisco was their natural choice. We found some new areas to shoot, great weather and a cold Corona at the Ferry Bld., it was a great time.

Ashley & Jack

A Valentine’s Day wedding at St. Mary’s college with a reception at Orinda Country Club, great venues for Ashley and Jack, even the rainy day weather could not spoil her fairy tale wedding.

2009 Bride's Choice award

WeddingWire, the nation’s leading wedding technology company, just announced that Eli Pitta / Eli Photographer has won the 2009 Bride’s Choice Awards™!

In its inaugural year, the Bride’s Choice Awards recognizes and honors vendors from the WeddingWire Network that demonstrate excellent quality of service, responsiveness, professionalism, value of cost and flexibility. This year’s recipients represent the top three percent of WeddingWire’s vendor community, which includes over 100,000 wedding vendors from across the US. That means Eli Photographer is one of the very best Wedding Photographers.

Unlike other awards in which winners are selected by the company, the Bride’s Choice Awards are determined exclusively by recent newlyweds through surveys and reviews.

“We are excited to launch this annual award program to honor high-performing vendors based solely on the experiences of our WeddingWire community,” according to Timothy Chi, WeddingWire’s Chief Executive Officer. “This year’s recipients have set the bar high, exhibiting excellent service and expertise in the wedding industry.”

I would like to thank my past clients for speaking on my behalf and helping me win the 2009 Bride’s Choice Award!

Roxana & Albert's kids

One of the best ways to capture kids is to let them be kids, one of greatest advantages of being a photographer is becoming friends with your clients.

My Nephew Ethan

Ethan is now 3 years old and as a 3 year old he has his own ideas of what he wants to do and when he wants to do them, makes for some great photo opps.
