New Website!!

Continuing in the theme for new things this year at Akil Bennett Photography, I got a new website. The fancy folks over at Bludomain designed it for me and I love it! I think it fits perfectly with my brand and compliments my style - to provide the best fashionable, wedding style photography. I loved my old website and it served me well, but this one is awesome! Take a look, I put up a few new images as well, and let me know what you think. This is going to be a great year, enjoy!

Winter Wedding Specials

The wedding season usually kicks off around April and lasts halfway through November. Those Saturdays typically book up fast but right now is the slower season. Currently I have a few dates still open in February and March so if you want an awesome photographer to shoot your wedding, send me an email so we can discuss your day. I'm offering specials on a case by case basis for those dates. My regular prices are listed on my website so give me a call to inquire about the special off-season pricing!!

Well since I know how much people hate reading blog post without pictures, here is a random shot from an engagement session I shot a few weeks back...

My dog Nala...

I promise I'm not one of those people that are obsessed with their dogs! Seriously i'm not but I just bought a new lens (the awesome Canon 70-200 2.8 IS = $1700!!!!) and I wanted to do some test shots. This lens is awesome!! Congrats to all the lucky clients of 08' that will get all the benefits of the greatness of this baby! Ok, so here are the shots of Nala :)














Again sorry for all these Nala pics, but she was the only one who would model for me on such short notice!

Atonement

If there is one thing that you should know about me, it is that I Love movies! I was a film production major in college and I was positive that I was going to be the next Spielberg. Turns out that photography was the path for me which is great, but it didn't deter my love for movies.

That being said, I saw an awesome film last week. I haven't seen a movie this well directed/acted in a long time. All three leads turns out stellar performances and the story just sucks you in. I didn't think it would be as good as it actually was going in and I was pleasantly surprised. If you have time, go check it out...it'll be worth it!



PS... something very exciting will be coming to Akil Bennett Photography within the next week. Be on the look out :)

Claire : Bridal

Here are a few shots from a Bridal Session I shot a few weeks ago. Claire is awesome and shooting her wedding, in many ways, may have been the best thing to happen to my business. She is super nice and smart, she's currently a grad student at Stanford at only 21! Shooting her session was very easy and we had a blast! I knew her wedding would be awesome, and sure enough it was. Look out for those photos soon! Here are some of my favs from her shoot.

I'm Back....

Happy New Year everyone!! I took a little break from blogging but now I'm back and I have many things to share. Another photographer friend of mine mentioned to me this past weekend that I hadn't blogged in a while. I just noticed it has been over a month and I'm going to do my best to not let that happen again. Many new exciting things have happened in the past month or so that I am going to share and there are many things to come. My new years resolution is to blog at least three times a week and to try to include more personal things going on in my life. I have a feeling that this is going to be a great year!!

PS..the next entry will have photos, I promise :) I went to Hawaii a few weeks before Christmas...can't wait to share those!!
