about the ed pingol photography team

this is the section where most photographers would write about their history and why they became photographers... maybe even some of their philosophy to talk about how much they love photography. but i think i'll skip all that and just simply tell you that we really like artsy fun photography. and luckily enough, our clients do too... so if you like to have fun, please read on.

ed pingol photography is a happy accident.

we began as a husband-and-wife team consisting of me and my wife, monica, and have grown to a cooperative of several very talented photographers. = ) we love having fun, goofing around, getting to know our clients and honestly portray who and how they really are in pictures. though i love having fun and goofing around, when it comes to getting some kick-butt images, we REALLY don't mess around. feel free to check out our personal blog to stalk, errr... i mean, get to know us better. ; )

another thing you might not want to know (but if you've read this much, why stop) about us is we love sushi! we love lola, our weiner dog, who likes to come along during our family photo sessions and e-sessions.

oh, and make sure you check out the FAQ because there's A LOT OF INFORMATION in that little section.

this is us... uhhh, the real us.

this is my brother and fellow photographer, hamilton (a.k.a. jeff) and i phooning. sounds weird, i know... but it's SO much fun.

hamiton is an awesome lighting assistant and photographer during shoots... especially when i'm in a climbing mood.

monica helping out the lovely jasmine and her hubby, jerome.

monica's going to kill me by putting this up (sorry love) it's part of the process... if you don't want these type of images up on the net, don't make funny faces. = )

i tend to shoot monica quite a bit to test out exposures... she loves it! just look at that smile. = )

yes, more monica.

this picture below is me on my 28th birthday celebrating with immediate family - i love pyramid beers and cupcakes, uhhh... but not at the same time. i also have a lot of happy wrinkles.

Ed/Monica,

These pictures are amazing. I can't wait to see the rest of them. So, we didn't get a chance to capture Chayenne's umbilical cord. The opportunity to have someone as creative and talented as the both of you photograph my newborn made up for it 10 fold.

I love the way that you guys were able to capture my babies in their environment and not at a studio where it's cold and unfamiliar. Being able to take photograph at home were my kids are comfortable made such a big difference and made the pictures much more special.

Another thing that I love about you guys is that you are both so down to earth and easy to get along with. This made such a big difference to my older daughter. Now every time we take pictures, she says "Macaroni" and laughs.

I'm defiantly going to book you guys when Cornell and I have our 3rd baby. I will be recommending you to all my friends and family!!!!

Thanks a bunch!!!!!

Enoch Photography has left a new comment on your post "liana and henry's wedding - the cathedral of st. m...":

Holy Cow - these are outstanding. I'm really digging that mixture of HDR into the images. I've been playing around with that for a while now... but the time it takes on each one... def. only meant for special images. Keep it up dood! you rock star you.

I also have a FACEBOOK and MYSPACE page. Ask me to be your friend!!! = ) You can also follow me on TWITTER.

EPP TIMELINE - inspired by the talented "the image is found"

prior to the wedding - kindly fill out the wedding contract and submit the required retainer fee so we can reserve your date (remember, we work on a first-come, first-serve basis, upon receipt of a completed contract & retainer fee). we'll send you information regarding how to schedule and prepare for your engagement session. we'll also help you with your wedding day schedule, in order to plan for your photo opportunities properly.

the wedding day - GET HITCHED and SMILE!!!

1-2 weeks after the wedding - we will post several images ("blog teasers") of your special day on the blog. feel free to use/copy them for online use, whether it be through facebook, myspace, or friendster. please leave the image as is and avoid altering the image. (the pretty borders are there for a reason, giving us proper photographer's credit. =)

8-12 weeks after the wedding - ALL of the edited images will be posted on edpingol.instaproofs.com. we'll send you an email announcement to notify you that your online wedding gallery is ready. feel free to forward it to your family & friends. if applicable, your disk of edited high-res images and/or proof book will be shipped out to you.

we triple back-up all of your images, but it's always a good idea to make copies of your own on disk, as well as back them up on a hard drive, and store them in separate locations just to be safe. we recommend a copy on an external hard drive, a copy on disks, and a copy placed in a secure, off-site location like a security deposit box. you may even consider having them stored through an online data storage company.

10-16 weeks after the wedding - your primary album images must be submitted to us. we'll send you directions as to how to upload your selections onto edpingol.instaproofs.com. are you a self-proclaimed procrastinator or having a hard time selecting your images? don't worry, we can pre-select the images for your album designs.

6-8 weeks after image selections submitted - we will send you proofs of your album design layouts for your review via email. if there are any revisions/substitutions you would like to see made to the album, please notify us within a week. this will be your first and only revision period. if the album design is perfect the way it is, we'll complete our editing/retouching and send in your order right away! =)

1-3 weeks after the revisions - if revisions are requested, we will send you an updated version for review through email. once the album design is approved, we will take a closer look and edit the minor stuff making your images even better. then, the order is sent off to our album production company in italy!!!

8-12 weeks after the order submission- the order process varies depending on the time of the year. also, the timeline is dependent on how quickly image selections are submitted and layout designs are approved, which is up to the clients. (did we mention we have a pre-selected image selection process for the indecisive? =) when you receive your album, remember to share the memories with friends and families. sharing is caring!! = )

1 year after the wedding - woot woot..!!! it's your anniversary!!! time for an aftershoot or anniversary shoot, perhaps?

do you bring back up gear too?
you cannot not have back up gear. you're shooting a wedding that happens only once ("knock on wood!"). you have to have back up!

i don't have a lot of money to spend on lenses right now...can you recommend a good cheap one?
nope. save your cash and buy right the first time. it'll hurt a bit but it really is the way to go. remember, lenses are the eyes of your camera. make sure your camera can see 20/20 especially if you're planning on shooting a wedding.

should i buy a canon or a nikon?
it really doesn't matter... both have very good cameras. either way, you really can't go wrong. but you know what our preference is! (cough.... canon!.... cough)

what equipment do you use for processing?

* MacBook Pro 17" goodness
* MacBokk Pro 15" goodness

* quad monitors. "argh argh argh!!!" barked like "tim the toolman taylor."
* 5 terabytes of portable space

who do you use for online proofing?
we use the instaproofs.com. check us out at edpingol.instaproofs.com.

what lab do you use?
whcc, miller, apollo imagizing, and simply canvas.

how do you get such great color in your photos?
Light, LIGHT and LiGhT... it's all about light.

do use actions?
yes. i create my own because it's free and it really saves me a lot of time.

did you go to school for photography?
not really. i went to school for packaging design (which was my full time gig up until december '07) photography was part of the job. so, it has always been there.

do you have a studio?
yes. = )

how old are you guys!?!?
ed is 29 going on 15 and monica just turned 28.

do you use an assistant at weddings?
yes.

How to Prepare for your Engagement Session

Clothing, Attire, & Accessories
We suggest one outfit or one casual and one "dressy" (dinner attire) outfit for each engagement session lasting at least 1.5 hours. (If less than 1.5 hours, one outfit is best.) For the casual look, jeans and a long-sleeve top in complementary colors works well. For the dressy look, men tend to look best in a button-up long sleeve shirt, sports jacket, with dark slacks, and dress shoes. (Don't forget to wear dark socks, guys!) Women's dressy attire can include any type of clothing you'd wear to go to dinner at a nice restaurant, usually dressy pants or a skirt with a blouse, or dress, with heels/flats.

We suggest a long-sleeve top as this allows the focus to be on your faces rather than on your arms. Dark, solid colors tend to "slenderize" and flatter the body, as well as "v-neck" lines. We ask that you wear clothing without logos or any large patterns, as this tends to be a distraction. Remember, horizontal stripes create the illusion of more "girth" and less height, which tends to widen most people. Most importantly, clothes you feel comfortable wearing will allow you to look your best in the photos.

If we will be shooting at a beach/lake/river, please bring along flip-flops as we may shoot you walking along the shore or in the water. Don't forget to bring towels that you can use to sit on and/or wipe your feet with afterwards. Also, flip flops double as "sore feet relievers" when we walk from location-to-location and after the shoot, especially for you women who will be wearing heels.

Please feel free to bring along any "props" or objects of sentimental value you'd like to feature in some of the photos. A common object brought is the original box of the engagement ring for the guy to hold in a "re-enactment" of the proposal. If it is forecasted to rain or has just rained, umbrellas are a great prop to use in photos.

Make-up/Hair
Something that many women find useful is to schedule a make-up and hair trial session with mua's (make-up artists)/hair stylists whom they are interested in working with on their big day. This serves a few purposes: 1. allows you to figure out if you'd like to work further with that artist/stylist; 2. allows you to play with different looks before trying them out on the big day; 3. allows you to look ultra fabulous in your engagement photos. Mac make-up photographs really well! Some women who decide not to use an mua for their big day choose to go to a local make-up counter at either Sephora or at a department store at the mall to get made-up, which can be a great affordable option. Most make-up counters will either provide you with a free make-over or complimentary make-over with the purchase of products over a certain amount. This has also been a great way brides have found their mua's. If you would like referrals of local mua's, please let us know.

Hands
As we will be shooting close-up shots of your hands, please make sure your nails are neatly trimmed & shaped and/or manicured. This is especially important for the ladies, as we will be featuring your engagement ring as a focal point in some of the photos.

After the e-session
If at all possible, we suggest you allow yourself time after the engagement session to enjoy the rest of your day/evening together. Since we shoot on-location at or near some great cities, it's great to have a chance to enjoy a meal at a nice restaurant, especially if you are already dressed up.

You will receive a CD of all your high-resolution images within 6-8 weeks after your e-session. Look out for updates of "teasers" on the blog: edpingol.blogspot.com. On the disk, you will find a folder of high-resolution images (for print use) and a folder of low-resolution images with our signature borders, which you are more than welcome to use for online purposes, as it gives us proper photographers' credits.

We look forward to photographing your engagement session!

aftershoots, aftershoots and more aftershoots

i encourage every couple to do an aftershoot session (a.k.a. "trash the dress"). why? because you get to don that beautiful gown again that you spent so much money on, without worrying about keeping it clean and take photos with your new spouse, in a relaxed and scenic location, without the hectic schedule of a wedding day.

NOTE:
Newest posts is placed on top of each section.
If you want to see a ton more photos, kindly just click on each individual thumbnails!!! =)
This gets updated frequently as we're now in full swing with the wedding season.
