An easy way to save and organize your favorite photos in one place

We deliver a lot of images. Weddings are a full day, and we shoot a lot to make sure we capture everything. Sure, the pictures get narrowed down a lot. But in a typical wedding, we deliver anywhere from 400 to 700 photos. Ish.  Our selection process is pretty stringent, and we only deliver the best photos that tell the story of the day.

Most brides and mothers of the bride have liked us delivering that many. But some people, it’s a bit much to look through them all. Enter collections. I’d posted about using collections to organize your favorite photos a while ago.

Here are the basic steps:

1. Sign up for a free Visitor account. It’s the last option.
2. On the Organizer bar on the left side of your Zenfolio edit page, select New, then Collection.
3. Name your Collection.
4. Go to the gallery on our Sharing Gallery.
5. On the photo you wish to add as a favorite, roll your mouse over the photo, and select Add to Collection on the left side of the photo. Go through and do this will all your favorites.

That’s it! Then you have a collection of your favorite photos.

My friend set up one here for her wedding.

We’ve made a few changes to our main site

To show more of our work, we moved some things around. The info that was in our About page is now part of the FAQ section. We’ve also added an engagement portrait gallery with some really nice images. The thing I love most about these pictures is the level of interaction that comes through.

There are a few updates to our wedding photo section from weddings we did this summer. We’ll add a few more from the ones we did in August before too long.

If you haven’t checked the portrait page in a while, you’ll see a really cute kid right off.

So take a look at our portfolio if you haven’t in a while.

C.J. and I had the pleasure of shooting Mike and Erin’s engagement pictures.  We knew it was going to be a good session when they offered us coffee right as we walk in, and Blind Pilot is playing. We started off at Erin’s house in Riverside, then shot some in Riverside Park.

We love it when photos really display personalities.  Our favorite shoots are about interaction, and this was a great example of photos coming together because of the natural, fun nature of Erin and Mike coming through.  They’re somewhat retro, which is a bit of departure from our normal processing, but these photos screamed to be dated to match the subjects and tone of the photographs.

And now for something we hope you really like…

This project started as a way to bring some fun to reception photos of the guests. We never did like going around to the different tables while everyone was eating, forcing them to pose for us, and get a subpar photo. So, an interesting and entertaining solution was to set up a photo booth.

It’s not really a booth, per se. It’s really an area we corner, set up a background and lights, and have props set out for people to use. People come if they wish. Some choose to have a nice photo taken of them and their family, all dressed up for the special occasion.  Many go ahead and try on the various wigs, hats, and props that we bring. Kids (of all ages…2 through 72) really got into it. Whether participating or watching, the photo booth by Mosaic Photo brings a lot of excitement to a reception and provides some great memories.

Another big plus, is that if we do formal portraits after the ceremony and before the reception, we have a dedicated person start the photo booth. This gives the guests something to do as we shoot pictures of the families and bridal party.

My good friend Andi let us try this out on her at her wedding in early August. Here are some fun shots, or check out the entire set.
