Bannister & Associates http://www.bannisterinsure.com/ held its annual photo with a classic Fire Engine on Halloween in Downtown Huntington Beach. Cause2exisT was proud to participate as the event photographer. We ended up taking over 400 photos of kids, adults and pets on board the 1940 classic Fire Engine. It was a wonderful fall evening and just about every participant had on costumes, including the pets.
Thank you to Bannister & Associates and Downtown Huntington Beach for hosting such a great event.
See you next year!

How To Choose Your Wedding Photographer
How To Choose Your Wedding Photographer
After the initial excitement of engagement most couples find themselves faced with a daunting number of decisions. Making decisions together as to ceremony and reception locations, flower arrangements, dress, cake, entertainment, photography and so on can be stressful for a newly engaged couple. The purpose of this article is to alleviate some of that stress and assist you in choosing the photographer that best suits your needs. The importance of an Engagement Session or E-Session in choosing your photographer should not be underestimated. Photography is an integral part of your wedding experience. A good photographer captures the important moments as well as the moments in between. A great photographer combines these elements with creativity and professionalism in order to create images and experiences you will always treasure. Choosing your photographer may be the most important decision you make.
Let us suppose that you have narrowed your search to a handful of photographers through personal recommendations, advertisements, and internet searching. You have visited each of the candidate’s websites in order to qualify that each photographer’s style, quality, and pricing match with your own preferences and budget. How do you make that final decision? My recommendation is an E-session.
The E-session is an opportunity to clarify a couple of important factors in your decision. First and foremost is the personality of the photographer. The photographer is present through out the entire wedding event; therefore if your relationship with a photographer is abrasive, it will show up in the photos. The E-session will also showcase the photographer’s creativity and their ability to bring your vision to life. Additionally, the E-session is a great time to highlight the photographer’s workflow. Workflow begins with the first call. Were they prompt in returning your call, on time for the schedule shoot, clear in their communication, and did they provide the proofs or final photos in a timely manner? Most importantly, are you satisfied with the finished product?
An E-session is an excellent opportunity to build rapport with your photographer, ensure that their style matches your expectations and gives you the confidence that your photography needs and memories are in good hands. Finally, the professional images delivered from an E-Session are great for invitations, save the dates, and wedding favors.
You wouldn’t buy a car without first test-driving it, would you…. would you?
