One on One with - Jasmine Star

Prophotohub & Jasmine Star....
B-DAY April-6

1) PPH: Where is home ??
 JS: Orange County, CA 
2) PPH:  How long have you been shooting ??
JS: Two years

3) PPH: What camera gear do you use / and what's your favorite lens ?? 
JS: Canon gear and my favorite lens is the 50mm, 1.2 

4) PPH: Do you have a memorable wedding photography moment ??
JS: A couple months ago, I shot a wedding in Seattle, Washington and the bride and groom were spectacular!  We were treated like family and their friends embraced us immediately...the wedding was perfection!  At the end of the night, the band played "Let's Get It Started" by The Black Eyed Peas and I found myself taking pictures in the center of friends and family as they jumped simultaneously in the air.  Everyone was waving their arms and singing along and it was one of the happiest moments of my season.  It made what I did that much sweeter and I fell more in love with wedding photography.

5) PPH: First car? Today's car? What do you want in the future ??
JS: First car: Pontiac Sunfire (give me a break...it was totally cool!).  Current car: Infiniti G35.  Future car: Porsche Cayenne. 

6) PPH: Is there anyone else in the "biz"  you enjoy shooting with? why? who would you like to shoot with ??
JS:  I really loved shooting with Becker ( www.thebecker.com ).  I learned so much from him!  He has such an impactful way of engaging with his clients and their families and it's awesome!  :)  I would love to shoot with Jose Villa ( www.josevilla.com ) and watch how he sees a wedding and how he executes his vision for the day. 

7) PPH: Where would you like to shoot that you haven't yet ??
JS: I want to shoot a garden wedding in England.  I picture it to be earthy style, vintage, and just fabulous! 

8) PPH: Where would be your dream " desti " location ??
JS:dream of shooting a wedding in Australia or Thailand...I just imagine it'd be so amazing to shoot in those countries! 

9) PPH: What good tips can you give to a photographer starting off today ??
JS: Take risks, dream big, and get uncomfortable! 

10) PPH: What is the one approach / step that took your studio to where it is today ??
JS: Blogging took my business to another level.  There's no way my studio would be where it is today without establishing a web presence.  The ever changing dynamic of the wedding industry really lent itself to blogging and I made it a point to leverage it as an asset! :) 
Maybe...time will only tell! ;)

Jasmine, T the brit. you can come to the UK anytime and shoot a lovely garden Wedding.
i notice your dream desti is australian, the light at least will be the same as CA.
don't expect that kinda light in the UK.
600 year old chaurch, small windows and clouds. Dont like that, hang on 10 minutes it will be as sunny as hell. plays with the WB and settings like you would never believe.
but you are welcome. T
