Aaron Tommasi

Hello everyone and welcome to Aaron Tommasi’s latest blog.

Aaron has decided to change the direction of his blogs. Now there will be two different blogs types either they will be information and advice blogs or image viewing blogs.

In the next two months look out for the following information blogs:

When do I book my wedding photographer?

How do I decide my photography budget and what if the photographer I want is more expensive than my budget will allow?

Whilst your awaiting the two above blogs here are some images from a recent trip that Aaron took to the lake district with his wife Rachel and their friend Louise. There are also some images taken inside of Louise’s house. Louise’s house through Aaron’s eyes you could say.

Please see below for a sneak peek and please click on the following link to view the rest of the Lakes images via Aaron’s Flickr account -Lakes2010/Aaron Tommasi Contemporary Wedding and lifestyle Photography

Here is a peak of the Pre-wedding shoot for Karen and Chris on 13th Feb 2010 in Bishop Stortford . A freezing cold day and scattered showers didn’t stop the shoot from happening or dampen anyone’s spirits. Chris and Karen are getting married August of this year in Wales.  I loved the shoot yesterday and cannot wait to shoot their wedding.

Hello everyone and thank you for taking some time out of your busy days to read my blog. The beginning of the week saw me sending out literature to some stunning local venues with the possibility of me becoming one of their recommended suppliers. This of course will  be on-going (so much so that I will be doing this after I have finished this blog post), as I think it is important for venues and suppliers to work together so that the bride and groom have the ultimate experience.

I also had a commercial shoot for a Kent based exhibition stand company called ESM who are launching a new product called HUB. Which is a stand that is not custom built like most stands. This product can however be set up so differently and can be so personalized so easily that you would think it is a custom build, but as it is not, it is a fraction of the price. I think these guys have developed and produce something so interesting here especially considering the current economical climate that I feel this will be a very successful product for them and I wish them all the best. To few images of this product please click on the following link -Aaron Tommasi/Commercial/ESM-HUB display.

I went into London Kings Cross as well to watch and shoot the amazing new band called Jon Paul Palombo. I could try and describe their music but I know I would be ridiculed by the band for a lame description, so I recommend that you go on the above link (the name of the band) and have a listen to them, my favorites are Jimmy and People, listen to me I sound like a groupy ha ha. A fantastic gig and some good images I’ve attached a few images to the bottom of the blog. to few more images click on the following link -Aaron Tommasi Photography/Live bands/Jon Paul Palombo some crazy lighting at the venue though, white balance thrown straight out of the window. Lucky I like a challenge.

I spent Saturday at the Water Gardens at Harlow advertising my lifestyle portrait service. I’m there for most of the month so if your in the area come and say hello. I’m running a prize draw whilst I’m there and the winning will recieve a free portrait shoot including one framed print as well. My wife and I found it very funny as the British mentality cannot seem to understand the concept of the word free and seem to think that there is surely a catch. Well I can assure everyone when i say free that is exactly what I mean. A big hello to all the people that stopped to say hello.

Aaron Tommasi Contemporary Wedding & Lifestyle Photography

Hello everyone and welcome to the latest blog of Aaron Tommasi contemporary wedding and lifestyle portrait photographer.

I hope everyone is doing well? Its been a very busy week for myself.

I currently in the process of contacting wedding venues in Essex with the aim of becoming a wedding photographer on their recommended suppliers list. I’ve looked into every venue I have contacted or are about to contact to see whether it is a venue I want to build a close working relationship with. I could have contacted as many as possible but I am a firm believer in quality not quantity. I believe that a good working relationship by all suppliers/venues etc leads to a greater experience for the bride and groom.

I’ve finally had time to process some images that I took on the day before my wedding. I’ve attached three of them below. To see a few more of these please click on the following link- Aaron Tommasi-Wedding-Portrait-Photography-Flickr/Wedding-Build-up.

I’ve also added Feats of Clay -a unique handcrafted cake topper company to my associates page. The toppers produced are amazing (please see at the bottom to see my own topper).

I meet up with Chris and Karen on Sunday. Who are getting married at St Donats Castle in Wales next August and have booked me as their wedding photographer.

It is now eight days to my Wedding. Crazy I now. Still slightly recovering from my stag-do on Saturday. Thank you for those who came (I had no idea I was so popular)and a special thanks to Stephen for organizing it. Me and Rachel are rushing around like mad men at the moment just finishing up the few last loose ends.

What’s been happening with the photography I hear you all ask? Well clearly I have had to miss the majority of the wedding (summer) season this year, as there has just been to much on with my own wedding. In August after my honeymoon, I will be banging on several venues doors. As i think its time to get on venues suppliers list and build good relationships with the venues so that I will be able to offer an even better service.

I have been in contact with publication company that supplies material for civil cermonies and Tourism in Essex, so hopefully some of my shots might be used their.

This week I entered 5 Lifestyle portraits into the Taylor Wessing competition at the National Portrait Gallery. So fingers crossed with that one.

Wow it was a busy weekend. A commercial shoot with the covers band Rockpins in the London City on Saturday lots of fun. A real good bunch of lads. Nick if you reading this stop facing the complete opposite way to the camera, but at least it kept everyone spirits high. Check a selection of images from Saturday’s shoot of the Rockpins out at my Aaron Tommasi flickr site.

Then on Sunday I had the lovely pleasure of Brenden and Hayley (as well as their two beautiful Dalmatians) for their pre-wedding shoot. A wonderful couple. I hope you are more relaxed about having your picture taken now. The pair of you will be radiant on your day as you were on Sunday. A selection of images from the Hygate pre-wedding shoot can viewed on my Aaron Tommasi Flickr site.

Have a good remainder of the week everyone and a wicked weekend.
