Thank you first of all for such an amazing amount of support. We would like to congratulate the couples that won a free engagement session at the Bridal Show. We had 21 entries for the drawing and we got a bit carried away and gave out 5 free engagement sessions. This message is now going out to all that attended, so here is your chance to win if you did not see us at the show or even if you did not win, we are going to give out another 3 to you all. How? Go to our site, at LAdigitalPhoto.com. Fill out the quick questionnaire there and we will pull 3 winners this coming Sunday. Come back here on Sunday at 6pm and we will be posting a video naming the winners. Be sure your name, event date and email are correctly typed up so we can match it to the event mailing list. No purchase is necessary, just like at the show. Already have your photographer? Then be nice and pass the chance to win onto someone you know that is getting married but hey, free is free right? So if you don't know anyone, just enter anyway!
Head to our pricing page to see our offers for photo, video, DJ. Go to the Services tab and drop down from there to Photo Booth to see those prices.
Start a chat with Tom at anytime... just use the Chat box at the bottom of your screen... It has only been 20 hours since this message went out to you all and already 195 of you have come to chat and only 8 have entered the free engagement offer and asked a ton of great questions. Bear with me I am responding as fast as I can. :) it's almost 7am and this morning is busier than last night. If you are on a desktop my messages will show up. If you are on a phone you will have to tap the chat button to see my messages.
Congratulations to the 17 couples who have already booked us from the show. Can't wait to be capturing your engagement sessions soon and weddings coming up later this year and next year.
Which one got carried away?
Because we expect there will be a huge response, we may add more winners but they may not be with Tom. It is our request that we do these shoots on a week day, otherwise we may not be able to get to you by the time of your wedding.
LAdigitalPhoto is made up of amazing friends and colleagues of mine from my 21 year career. Some were clients of mine at one point who got married, others I have known now for nearly 15 years and have been on and off our team of the years; they always come back... We are all portrait photojournalists. What does that mean? It means we shoot a ton of candids and are also very comfortable to help you and your family with your portraits as well. Many ask us if we do candids. Yes, nearly 85% of everything shot is a candid moment, but what you may not know is that of the 15% of the rest of the "posed" images almost 2/3 of any photo orders or photos that end up in albums come from that smaller capture of time. You may be scratching your head and thinking, no way! Well think about this. How many times have you gone somewhere, bought a frame and loved the photo in that frame because it was a candid moment? Then you bring it home and what photo goes in it? A posed photo. Yes, we all do it to, so don't feel bad.
So why are we reaching out to reintroduce ourselves again? Because we never ever had a chance to meet you all. In case you want to meet again, we will be at the Bridal Show in LA at the Convention Center on March 24, 2024. It is being sponsored by the same company as the OC Fairgrounds show. We don't have our booth number yet, but we will be there! We will also be at the open house in La Canada at the Thursday Club on June 5, 2024 from 5:30-8:00pm. Yes it is on a Wednesday. Yes they will have amazing free good and drinks. Yes, you might fall in love with this location. But come see us there if you want. Totally free to attend, you just need to register on Eventbright.com #846203847487.
Since we started back in 2003, we have always had upfront pricing. We are not here to judge you by your venue, your car, your address etc. We base our pricing on similar parameters that venues use. Day of week, number of guest and how many hours you need. Yes we understand that this may not alway work due to cultural needs so if you think what we show will not work for you in some way, by all means text Tom right now at 714-394-4263 or start a chat on our site, yes we get it instantly and will start responding if we are not shooting... or sleeping, but even then you'd be surprised that Tom will respond at 2am from time to time. Here is a quick link to our pricing. You can view a ton and I mean ton of our work from our Recent Events Tab. Or go directly to our full clients gallery from that page, where you will be able to break it down by number of hours we shot at an event, or even the actual venue you were planning on being at. We have made a ton of relationships over the years and are the primary photography company at these venues:
Los Angeles Arboretum in Arcadia. We recently did a portrait session there for a couple that eloped. Check it out! See weddings and engagement sessions here.
The Altadena Town And Country Club in Altadena (just above Pasadena). This is a new location for us. We shot a mitzvah and a very small wedding there recently and they just loved us. The wedding can be seen here. It was an older couple and they just did a ceremony, no family photos, and a lot of dancing so don't expect to see a traditional wedding day! Ask for Sandy.
The La Canada Thursday Club in La Canada (just north west of Pasadena). This is probably our most captured venue since we do so much work for this venue and Cindy and I were married there too! See years and years of our work here. Ask for Ani.
The La Canada Country Club. View our work for this location here. Ask for Joy.
Wedgewood Irvine University Club in Irvine. Now Tom loves to shoot here since UC Irvine is his alma mater. Ask for Lesley. View recent work here.
You can view all other work at a ton of the Wedgewood locations here.
California Yacht Club in Marina Del Rey. You can view 2 weddings here.
There are others as well, but I won't bore you. Wondering if we shot at your venue? Just ask. Frankly we love new places so we'd love for you to bring us to one.
Here are some video links for you to look at as well from venues like The Reef in Long Beach, The Inn Riverside, Fluer de Lis Chapel in Upland, and San Diego to Huntington Beach to Pomona to Oceanside, San Juan Capistrano and Malibu to name a few.
Here are even more to view.
Did I mention I could bore you to death with the info I know.... well I can, so I will try not too.
We know officiants, dress shop owners, florists, and just about anything else you can think of so feel free to ask if you want referrals. We have a tab for venues and other referals just take the links in our menu.
We look forward to hearing from all of you. We'd love to see a ton of you try to win an engagement session (remember that is free to enter and free to win!)

Thank you all for coming to check us out again. Questions? Chat with Tom here or text 714-394-4263.
Read our reviews! View our actual work. We will date to compare to anyone at the show and beyond. We heard there was a company there that had too good to be true pricing. So we did the research. The company's work was amateur at best. Despite being around 12 years nothing new was being shown on their social media or there site. We couldn't find a single review online for them. That is a sign something is wrong. No reviews on Yelp or the knot or Google. Further investigation of their work we couldn't find a single full gallery. Photos were misfocused, poorly edited and frankly very sad for anyone who may have had this as their photographer or videographer. Please read our client reviews. Just google LAdigitalPhoto and pick a link.
We'd love to be everyone's team and we feel we can with the talented people we have. We are here to help, to educate and help. Chat with us when you are ready or call Tom at (714) 394-4263.
