Yanman Photographers Blog

I thought this picture of my daughter would make a great first day image, it shows such a great sense of wonder for new things.



As we open a new year, I wish you and your family a happy and safe New Year!

We are looking forward to working with all the newly engaged.

Sylvia is an ex co-worker from my IT days working in the wonderful world of electronic ticketing.

When she called and asked if I would be her photographer at her wedding I jumped at the chance.

Sylvia and I have both come a long way since we met eight years ago, and I wish her and Barny all the best.



It was a little rainy when we got started at the Aloma Methodist Church


The rain went away and the day got almost as pretty as the bride ... well almost.






The reception was held at the Altamonte Springs Clarion...






I could tell you all about the first time Sylvia and I met, but that would be a whole different blog...

Ok the title is an inside joke, and this is an inside wedding.

For those that don't know, Yanman Photographers is a bit of a family business.

My brother Joe shoots weddings with me and even one or two on his own, my wife assisted me at many weddings before our daughter was born, and my sister-in-law Marcy now assists me from time to time. While there are some other non-related "family" members helping out, we still think of everyone as family.

So when my brother asked for some assistance photography an up-coming "friend of the family" wedding, I couldn't say no. Well I could have but it wouldn't have been pretty, since Marcy was in the wedding party, and brother Joe was asking really nicely (hard for him to do trust me ;o)

So here are just a few of my favorites from the day, plus a couple to introduce you to our team members ...


First It's hair and makeup time -



A little something to come the nerves, not mine, or the brides for that matter. Hmm why are the bridesmaids nervous?



Here is Marcy getting ready, my brother had to remind me that she wasn't assisting in taking pictures, she was IN this wedding. Joe took this picture which he was quick to point out to me when Marcy posted it on Facebook ...



Well here is something a bit different, the Photographers have name cards and a place at the guest tables. Normally I wouldn't sit with the guests, but since many of them were part of extended family ...





Here is the happy couple ...



Joe always nails the detail shots ...



This is why people get married at county clubs ...





First Dance ...



And last but not least, a shot of my brother Joe and his wife Molly. Molly thank you for keeping him in-line!

While most of the weddings we shoot we book on our own, every once in a while we do shoot weddings with other studios.

Here are some favorites from one we did on October 11.

The wedding was at the beautiful Knowles Chapel, and the reception was at the Celebration Hotel.
