Ken Mendoza & Brady Thomas
Ken & Brady married in Yosemite National Park, one of their favorite places on earth, in May 2007. They have a passion for outdoor adventure, environmentalism, parks & open space preservation, wonderful picnics in beautiful places, and... oh yes, photography! A rare combination, this husband/wife photography team understands what their clients dream about & want to capture in memory. Comfortable in any environment, they're a professional, relaxed, easy going pair who know the name of the game is for you to not have to think about the photography. Think about your event, those you love, & why you're there.
Ken goes to great lengths, keeping up with the very latest technologies & lens capabilities, to use natural lighting for as much of your event or photo shoot as possible. From using the latest digital cameras to classic Zeiss & Leica lenses, Ken will bring the best optics that money can buy to your event.. The results will astonish you. He uses the same cameras, settings, and lenses for professional shoots & weddings that he does for his own beloved family outings, hikes, travels, and portraits. Ken's also really good with kids (we've seen him on his belly on a formal lawn), and grandmothers (belly not so much).
Brady is a born stylist and Ken's assistant photographer, carefully researching locations with various lighting possibilities. If you're a bride, rest easy & relax with your day. Brady makes sure you get the beautiful shots that are important to you, suggests poses if you like, can deftly rearrange a wind blown veil or train, ensures your accessories are perfect, and stands at the ready with water (or champagne), lip gloss (or chap stick), hair pins (or bubble gum.. just kidding, I always bring extra hair pins).
