Thanks for stopping by my blog. I am based out of Los Angeles, California...capturing weddings and families all over the country. Photography and Travel are my passions!
Take some time to poke around the blog. Get to know the people I capture through my lens . They are the Trendsetters. The Thrill-seekers. Rock Stars. Smart People. People who light up the room, just by the simple act of being there. People with new ideas, zest for life! People who want to do things differently. The ones who aren't afraid to show the world exactly who they are. Mostly, these are the people who a have a lot of love in their heart... because at the end of the day - that's what really shines through in a photograph. People who come to me to capture their stories have a lot of SPARKLE, and I love them for that.
If you have questions about photography for your wedding or family, please don't hesitate to give me a ring (917.650.5736) or email at jill@jillianbisinger.com. Cheers!
Tis the season to take family pictures! I usually have all of my family photography finished in October – but I was busy with so many other projects that all of my families had to wait until the very last moment. And this was the very last appointment for the season….GO TEAM BARRIOS! I couldn’t ask for a more beautiful or fun family to chase around and have a good time with….
All of the couples I photograph are special to me. I’m so blessed by the lifelong friendships that are formed as a result of this job. Rachel and Mario conference called me on the way home from their post-wedding brunch, just to rehash all the fun of the day’s events. That phone call was the icing on the cake of this event. I love getting that call or that text message the day after!!! Dishing about the party with your girlfriends the next day is almost just as fun as the actual party! A big celebration should supply you with smiles for year’s to come…and clearly Rachel and Mario’s event will do exactly that!
I talked a bit about the event location: Tara Circle in a previous post…the pictures should speak for all of it’s haunted charm. But the venue wasn’t the only thing that made this wedding a complete original. I love that the couple made a space designated as the ‘Man Cave’ … a dark room off the main dining area where the guys could hang out, drink whiskey and smoke cigars. Some girls managed to elbow their way in as well…but it was a space that was geared specifically with the Men in mind. The candle-lit ambiance in the library of the giant distressed mansion, made for a perfect intimate dinner party for 200 of the couple’s closest friends. And the ceremony on the grounds of the eerie courtyard at sundown was something out of a old world mystery novel. This wedding was nothing short of Pure Magic, what an honor it was to have captured it ….
