Jacob Bongiovanni Wedding Photography Blog

Welcome to my blog!

That's me on the right and my beautiful wife Jane. We have been married for over two years and if it wasn't for the pictures I got from our wedding photographer, I would not remember anything from that beautiful day. That is one reason why wedding photography is so important to me.

My passions are Photography, Poker, Table Tennis, Worshiping God, Computers and my Family. Wedding Photography is my specialty because I love the excitement of the day and the love that is displayed on that once in a lifetime event.

Cameo & Sean [[ Wedding ]]

January 9, 2010

cameo-011

Mission Viejo, CA: Cameo and Sean had a beautiful wedding ceremony out doors at Norman P. Murray Park in Mission Viejo. I have known Cameo for many years and am also friends of their family. I helped out a fellow photographer for just an hour or so during the ceremony and some basic formals just before the wedding. All the images were shot with no natural light so I had to work my camera hard to get these. Cameo has a brain tumor which made for an extremely emotional service. Mom, Dad, sister, brother, Cameo, Sean… it seemed like everyone was crying at some point in the service. Congrats to Cameo and Sean. May every day be lived to the fullest.

Shooting Sports on my Day Off [[ Football ]]

December 31, 2009

Pomona, CA: A good friend of mine Dan Roditi runs an annual flag football tournament at Cal Poly Pomona for the LA Church of Christ. He asked if I could take some photos of the game so I headed down to Pomona to see what I could capture. I am by no means a sports photographer and do not have the equipment to do it well, but since this was a no pressure shoot I was going to give it a try. It was a lot of fun watching the game and seeing the girls cheer on the guys in the game. Dan’s team ended up winning the tournament for the 2nd time in a row which was very exciting. Congrats to the O.C. Flag Football Team.

WPJA [[ Award ]]

December 27, 2009

wpja-award-001

I joined the Wedding Photojournalism Association a few months back. It is a very selective group of wedding photographers. I actually applied three times before I was accepted into the WPJA. The WPJA does a quarterly contest in several different areas’ of the wedding day ranging from getting ready to creative portraiture. I submitted several photos and this photo above won an award in the category of “getting ready”. I am so excited and honored to have one of my photos place in this very competitive competition. The photo is of a boy playing in his suit. He was such a cute kid and I got a ton of great photos from this wedding. I hope to learn a lot more about wedding photojournalism in 2010 and hopefully get some more exceptional wedding photos. Thanks WPJA for the award.

Phil & Denise [[ Wedding ]]

December 14, 2009

phil-denise-032

Irvine, CA: Weddings are one of the hardest things to photograph. Add cold weather and a ton of rain and it makes it that much harder. Fortunately for me, Phil and Denise are such troopers that it did not seem to slow them down at all. Happy couples always make for great pictures and you could not tell it was raining by the love that was shown on their faces. They were even willing to get out in the rain for some more creative shots.
