I am proud to announce that April Rocha Photography has been chosen to be the official photographer for the Westfield Topanga and Southbay Galleria Ben Bridge stores.

So what does this mean?

Any Ben Bridge customer that purchases an engagement ring at one of these stores will be receiving a free engagement session as part of their purchase at this wonderful jewelry store.

Engagement sessions are such a great way for a wedding photographer to get to know a bride and groom better.

I have an extensive list of engagement session location ideas which you can peruse or you can decide on where you want the shoot to take place.

These are two of my favorite Ben Bridge engagement rings – Ben Bridge Item Number 10495372 and Item Number 10858512.

Book any $3500 or over wedding photography package with me and receive a 16GB iPad as part of your photography package.  Yep, that’s right, an iPad ($500 value).

The wedding can take place any time in the future (2011, 2012, etc.) but you have to have signed the contract and sent in your initial investment by February 28, 2011 to be eligible.

The iPad is not exchangeable for cash or services.

A great way to share my work to people is by showing them my wedding blog entries.  Click here to view them.

The Last Kodachrome Show at the Rayko Photo Center

I am pleased to announce my participation in THE LAST KODACHROME show at the Rayko Photo Center in San Francisco, California.

 From Rayko’s website:

In 1935 KODACHROME was released as a 6mm home movie film, then for 35mm cameras in 1936, to huge success. In the summer of 2009, Kodak announced that Kodachrome was being “retired, concluding its 74-year run as a photography icon,” with the final rolls hitting retailers shelves in early September of that year. December 2010 is the last month that Kodachrome will ever be processed, so in a juried exhibition, RayKo Photo Center celebrates the life of Kodachrome, considered by many the greatest color film ever made, the subject of popular song, and the only film to have a park named after it (Kodachrome Basin State Park, Utah). It’s the end of an era…come pay tribute to this beautiful film and the powerful images made with it.

My image was shot on Kodachrome film at the Ace Hotel & Swim Club in Palm Springs, California last summer. The show opened last week and runs through January 21, 2011.
