Here we are, ready for another issue from ‘The Man behind the Woman, behind the Camera”.   Today we capture the male assistant species in his  natural habitat.  Well, someone has to hold all the expensive purses while the extended family pictures are in progress.  An onlooker estimates several hundred…eh, thousand dollars of purses from Prada, Gucci and Coach (oh, and grandma’s from  Target).  But, as a quality service provider would do , I stood by patiently while the guys from the wedding party threatened to revoke my “Man-Card”. 

Honestly, this is one of the many tasks that I, “the Man behind the Woman behind the Camera”  find myself doing that usually surprises our brides and grooms and what our potential clients can’t even grasp is possible on wedding day.

So I challenge, or requst, that all of our existing and past customers could  chime in with a couple examples of the “Man” assistant or the lady photographer exceeding your expectations on your fabulous wedding day and help all of our future brides and grooms understand that Ford Family Photography is more than just awsome images and a great day, it’s also about the service you will never forget.

My Work off Camera

So why should we create yet another BLOG?  Aren’t there already enough BLOGs in our cyber world?   And most of all…what could the man behind the woman, behind the camera offer to the general public to have an interesting BLOG? 

But the answer to all these questions is the simple fact that we become involved with our customers’ experiences.  We allow ourselves to become family for our brides and grooms, best friends to our engagement couples and trusted advisors to our graduating seniors.

We  truly enjoy what we do, and I, as the man behind the woman, behind the camera, see, hear and participate in occurrences that may entertain, amuse, and baffle the average BLOG reader.  

These above images are an example of my work off camera.   As our customers can attest to, I hold the grey card, I am the reflector or blocker of light, and most of all, I add some humor to allow the customers to forget there is a big ugly camera pointed directly at them.   

On this shot, Tim and Tracy had an extraordinary day with us in San Francisco and I couldn’t think of  two better people that enjoy and deserve each other.   Thanks guys for showing us your part of the city.
