Katherine & Scott's Engagement Photos (Sacramento, CA)

noreply@blogger.com (Travis Hoehne) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 18:27:00 +0000

Katherine and Scott literally live down the street from me so we opted to carpool to their engagement session in my Prius, if that isn't green then I don't know what is ;) And that has absolutely nothing to do with anything. Anyways, we had SOO MUCH FUN together and as you may know, I'm a huge fan of couples that are totally in love with each other and know how to have a good time. Katherine and Scott fit that profile to a massive "T". Apparently Scott was a bit nervous, but about 30 seconds into the shoot he busted out of his shell and never looked back. Meanwhile Katherine looks scary similar to Hayden Panettiere and is a total rock star in front of the camera. Here is a massively long post from their engagement shoot I shot yesterday... yep, I said yesterday! How's that for catching up.

I promise I'll post a lot more form this past year of shooting as well! Enjoy...

Why hello Fall, thanks for coming to play with use today!!!

The classic "where should I put my hands" & Katherine rock'n the profile!

Sooooo busy!!!

I just wanted to say I'm so sorry for the lack of blogging this past month. I have been traveling and shooting a TON, so the blogging time has been pushed to the back burner. Well actually I just put it in some Tupperware and threw it in the freezer for a while ;) I just got a print of this photo I shot at Natalie and John's wedding (their ridiculously awesome wedding will be posted soon) and I thought I would share it with you all. It might be one of my favorite photos ever, I'm thinking about selling it to Ikea.

More to come!!!

Old Sugar Mill Wedding Photography

noreply@blogger.com (Travis Hoehne) — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 18:05:00 +0000

Alex & Millicent are... two scoops of complete awesomeness! We had so much fun at their wedding which took place at the Old Sugar Mill. The venue was right up my alley and we took full advantage of all the coolness it had to offer. Way more photos to come, but for now I hope you enjoy the first part of their wedding day.

And now I'm off to NYC!!!

THP Associate Photographer LINDSEY WELLS is in the house! Great shot, so good I thought it was my own ;)

Work it girl!!! Millicent should model wedding dresses, another great shot from Lindsey I might add!

Alex joining in on the fun...

And a little more Lindsey photo goodness!

New Client Meeting Room

noreply@blogger.com (Travis Hoehne) — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 05:01:00 +0000

So I just moved into a new house... That makes 29 moves in 27 years of life! Crazy, I know. I can pack a moving truck like no bodies business though. So in our new house I get an entire room just to meet with clients... it's going to be AWESOME!!! There's just one problem... I have to fill the walls with some canvas and you know how much I just hate ordering NEW HUGE CANVASES!!! ;) Here are 2 that I'm deciding between. It's the same main image, but the first one is what I call the "THP Story Canvas", it's literally the entire story of your wedding on one ginormous canvas and the second one is just the main image, which is totally worthy of canvas awesomeness all by it's self. Let me know what you all think!

Chris & Jess' ARUBA wedding!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Travis Hoehne) — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 19:23:00 +0000

A few months ago I had one of the best times at a wedding... not sure if the location had anything to do with it... ARUBA!!! When I booked the wedding I told my good friend Michael Norwood that I was shooting a wedding in Aruba and he quickly signed up to be my second shooter. My wife wasn't to happy about that, but Michael got me into the business and so I kinda owed him one ;) So we get to Aruba and the first thing we do is rent scooters, HOLY CRAP THEY WERE AWESOME!!! We went everywhere, even to the "bad part of town" at night, which wasn't the smartest thing to do, but we still had a blast.

Chris and Jess are... well, PERFECT! Super nice, relaxed, beautiful, a little on the wild side, and down for some crazy party'n! We had such a good time and we got some pretty killer shots. Again it helps when you're on a private island with freak'n flamingos walking around!

Senior Portrait Models / Runway Boutique

noreply@blogger.com (Travis Hoehne) — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 06:01:00 +0000

I had an opportunity today to shoot some advertisement photos for my good friend Robin over at Runway Boutique in El Dorado Hills. She has a great boutique of some killer ladies fashions. If you're ever in the area stop by and throw up some hi fives!

On a side note, I really want to incorporate this style of shoot into my THP Senior Portraits. When it comes to Senior Portraits you know that I am not a huge fan of the cheesy "lean up against a tree and smile in a letterman's jacket" kind of thing. No offense to those of you who did that, it's just not my thing ;) If you want to know what type of Senior Portraits are "my thing" then just look at the photos below.

Huge props to our lovely models, both of whom had never actually modeled before... I'd say they did a great job!!! Well done ladies ;) Enjoy!

THP Print Credit Special!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Travis Hoehne) — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 06:00:00 +0000

My birthday is in about an hour (August 11th) so I thought I would celebrate by offering all of you fine individuals a little print credit love. For the month of August I will double any print credit that is purchased up to $500. Yep, it's like your Grandma sending you a birthday card with some Benjamin's in it ;) For any Wedding Investment that is booked in the month of August your print credit will automatically be doubled as well. A print credit can be used for any type of print and with this deal it will never expire!!! If you have been wanting to fill in some empty space on your walls nows the time to do it. Or maybe you know of a newly married couple that would love to receive a sweet canvas or just a few extra bucks to buy some prints. Whatever your fancy nows the time to stock up some print credit goodness.

*** THIS JUST IN ... Due to popular demand you can now use up to half of your total print credit towards additional album sides. So if you purchase a print credit for $500 I would then double it for you giving you $1000 of print credit goodness. You could then use up to $500 of that print credit towards additional album sides which translates into 10 EXTRA SIDES!!! Hurry this special ends on Aug. 31st.***

Marie + Kevin ... Married

noreply@blogger.com (Travis Hoehne) — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 06:49:00 +0000

Marie and Kevin are super duper style-rific and totally awesome with a cherry on top!!! Their engagement photos have been quite popular (CLICK HERE) and I have a feeling that their wedding is going to turn some heads as well. Their venue: 7 Degrees in Laguna Beach, CA + Their amazing coordinator: Angel Swanson of Love and Splendor Events = FREAKING PERFECTION!!!! I am going to let the photos speak for themselves on this one. ENJOY!

Marie's dress was AMAZING!!!

Feel the burn!

Marie's got water color skills... I knew I should have paid more attention in kindergarten ;)

Kevin can kill you with his pinky... no really, he can!

LOVE IT!!!

Can anyone say... CANVAS!!!

Like I said, 7 Degrees + Angel Swanson = PERFECTION!!!

The bride and groom drop'n some mad rhymes on the turn tables

Kevin might be able to kill you with his pinky, but Marie has one heck of a back hand ;)

The amazingly talented and super fun to work with Angel Swanson (she is the one in the middle) ;)

Possibly my favorite ring shot ever!!!

Marie + Kevin ... Engagement

noreply@blogger.com (Travis Hoehne) — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 00:02:00 +0000

I flew back to Baltimore/D.C. to meet up with Marie and Kevin for their engagement shoot. I basically hung out with them for a few days and even got to sleep in Kevin's spare room. We had a blast eating good food and taking some ridiculously awesome photos! One word describes Marie and Kevin... Hip!!! They've got tons of style and are super cool, not to mention they are totally in love! I shot their wedding a few weeks ago at the uber nice 7 Degrees in Laguna Beach so be on the look out for those. For now, I hope you enjoy the photos from their e-shoot in D.C.

Mindy + Andrew ... WEDDING!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Travis Hoehne) — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 02:48:00 +0000

I love San Diego... and it just so happened that I got a chance to go there with my wife to shoot a wedding last month. It took place in La Jolla at the Museum of Contemporary Art. Mindy and Andrew and all of their friends are some ridiculously smart MIT grads, but they sure know how to have a good time ;) We had a blast walking around La Jolla snapping some shots and making complete fools of ourselves. GOOD TIMES!!! Hope you like the pics!

I literally almost got killed taking this photo (the one in the street that is) ;)

AT&T "Raising the Bar"

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's crazy killer boats!!!

Props to my wife Rebecca for this shot! I taught her everything she knows... No really, I did ;)

Andrew, you so naughty!

And of course the rings, blue ones at that!

The Dirtiest Ring Shot Ever!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Travis Hoehne) — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 04:09:00 +0000

My wedding this past weekend was at this really cool venue, Grand Island Mansion. It's this old victorian mansion with a ton of risque art all over the walls. You know me... I just couldn't help my self, I had to use it some how. When I showed this shot to the couple I wasn't sure what they were going to think, but... they LOVED it.

Let me know what you think. I'm thinking a huge canvas hanging in the living room ;)

Light it up PART 2!

noreply@blogger.com (Travis Hoehne) — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 08:03:00 +0000

May was so busy it was dumb!!! 15 different airplanes, 2 different countries, 5 different states and 11 different cities, but a whole lot of fun!!! Oh and some dope photos of some really cool couples ;) So I promise wedding and engagement photos will be posted very soon. But first a shot of the moon over my house last night. I know, random, but it looked so big I just had to snap a shot of it.

Light it up!

noreply@blogger.com (Travis Hoehne) — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 06:44:00 +0000

I got home from Denver tonight just in time to see one of the craziest lightning storms that has ever passed through Northern California. Over a 1000 strikes so far and no signs of slowing down. The cool part was it went right over my house. I was able to grab this shot and thought you all would enjoy it. Tons more blogging coming up in the next few days... Aruba, Denver, D.C. & O.C to name a few ;) Check back soon!

Mindy + Andrew ... Engagement

noreply@blogger.com (Travis Hoehne) — Fri, 01 May 2009 00:40:00 +0000

A few months ago I was in San Diego's beautiful Balboa Park shooting the dung out of Mindy and Andrew. They were a bit nervous at first, but then again so is everyone else ;) After the first 10-15 minutes or so they busted out of their shell and we started to have a blast. I will be shooting their wedding in a few weeks in La Jolla, and if they are anything like they were during the engagement shoot (super fun!) then we are going to rock La Jolla's face off!!!

Enjoy!

Sophia + Denby ... Married!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Travis Hoehne) — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 06:59:00 +0000

I first met Sophia and Denby at their family restaurant in Southern California. We chatted for a while and then I knew that we were going to be a great fit when they started bringing out the food. SOOOO Good!!! A few months later I found out that I would be working their event with Carolyn Chen from The Special Day (event design & coordination) & Julie Hill from Elysium Productions (videographer extraordinaire) and I was that much more excited to be working with Sophia and Denby. It was an absolute beautiful day at the Hyatt Huntington Beach which if you are looking for a venue this one ain't bad at all ;) Not to sound cheezy, but Sophia and Denby's wedding was PERFECT! It got me to thinking how important your vendors are. They really can make or break one of the most important days of your life. And Sophia and Denby sure know how to pick some top notch vendors!!! Well done guys. Thanks for putting so much time and effort into choosing the right people for your awesome day, it sure paid off.

Carolyn & Julie: It was an honor, keep up the good work and Cabo is seriously calling our name ;)

Sophia & Denby: Thanks for allowing me to be a part of your wedding. I had so much fun and I hope you guys love your photos! Enjoy

Sophia rockn' the train like nobodies business!

Real men wear pink... socks that is

I mean, you gotta get married somewhere, right?!

Yeah, that's a lot of heads

Denby had something in his eye ;)

Carolyn freakn' destroyed this reception! (in a very good way that is)

I think this is my favorite cake cutting shot ever, not sure why, I just love it!

Slippery When Wet!

noreply@blogger.com (Travis Hoehne) — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 22:26:00 +0000

A little sneak peak into Kim & Chris' wedding this past Saturday at the always awesome R.H. Phillips Winery. When I went to get the rings from Kim and Chris they said, "Oohhh, time for the ring shot huh?!" I knew the pressure was on and I had to bring it! More to come from their special day.

Senior Portraits THP Style!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Travis Hoehne) — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 20:03:00 +0000

Being that I now live very close to the high school I graduated from (Oak Ridge, WHAT WHAT!!!) I have been wanting to get into the Senior Portrait market. My idea for great senior portraits is a high end photo shoot, at rockn' locations with unlimited outfits and magazine quality photos. Plus I'm a huge fan of doing the shoot with a few of your friends (The BFF Shoot). Put all of that together and you get THP Radtastic Senior Portraits!

I got together with Blake, Hillary, Jaslyn & Lauren last week to do their BFF Senior Portraits. It was freakn' AWESOME!!! We had such a great time and they were so easy and fun to work with. We laughed till our sides hurt most of the time. It was a perfect day, a little wind, lots of sun and two great locations. Here is a little sneak peak from their shoot. More, lots more to follow!

The Totally Tubular Trio

noreply@blogger.com (Travis Hoehne) — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 18:32:00 +0000

This past weekend I was in Huntington Beach shooting Sophia and Denby's totally rockn' wedding. Besides Sophia and Denby being just a ridiculously kick booty couple they can also pick vendors like nobodies business. This post will only highlight 2 vendors in particular. First we have Carolyn Chen of The Special Day. She freaking blow up this party with all of her awesomeness! One of the best and easiest coordinators to work with in Southern California! I knew she was good when I got the timeline and everything worked, perfection! Hire her!!! Next we have my new BFF... none other than Julie Hill from Elysium Productions. They are literally one of the best videographers in the world. I don't recommend that many videographers, but I have recommended Elysium a number of times, but now that I've had the privilege of working with them, they are hands down my number one choice in southern california (they travel world wide as well). Without a doubt they need to do your wedding video!!!

A huge thanks to Sophia and Denby for being so good at picking their vendors. And to Carolyn and Julie... Until next time ladies... maybe in Cabo ;)

Check out our photobooth photo and then there is a little sneak peak into Sophia and Denby's radtastic wedding. Enjoy!!!

Traci & Josh :: Married

noreply@blogger.com (Travis Hoehne) — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 22:37:00 +0000

Last summer (yes, I know, I should blog these faster, I'm sorry!!!) I shot Traci and Josh's wedding at the amazingly beautiful Solage in Calistoga, CA. I absolutely loved this venue and Traci and Josh brought the awesomeness as well. They are a super cool couple and I am honored to call them friends now. Traci should be a super model and I'm actually hoping to use her for a shoot I've got coming up for Runway Boutique. Needless to say we had a killer time and I'm really happy with how their images turned out. I think I see an album in their future ;) Enjoy!

Sneak Peak :: Clarence & Maggie

noreply@blogger.com (Travis Hoehne) — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 07:39:00 +0000

Here is a photo from Clarence and Maggie's radtastic engagement shoot I have been working on. I wanted to try something a bit different and I super excited with how it turned out. One word for you... CANVAS!!! If you couldn't tell, I'm a huge fan of canvas. They are everywhere in my office and house for that matter. I just might have to order this one for my studio as well ;) Hope you likey!

Zion's in Shape Magazine!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Travis Hoehne) — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 08:02:00 +0000

My wife and I always knew that we had the cutest kids on the planet, but every parent thinks that ;) So when we thought about getting them into modeling we didn't really have high hopes. We're not the type of people that try to make money off our kids, but we figured if while they are young they can do some cool shoots and have some good experiences then let's go for it. When we signed them up with their agent from City Model Management, INC. we honestly were not expecting much. But, when we got the call informing us that Zion had been chosen for a Shape Magazine editorial photo shoot were were pretty excited to say the least.

I went with Zion to the shoot in SF and we had a great time. Being a photographer I was totally into it. The incredible Ericka McConnell was the photographer for the shoot, she was great and her photos are off the chart! It made me really want to get into commercial photography. Zion did an amazing job and I am super impressed with how everything turned out. A great experience all around. Check out the spreads and then go out and buy a copy for yourself ;)

Brent + Victoria :: Engagement Photos

noreply@blogger.com (Travis Hoehne) — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 07:39:00 +0000

When Brent and Victoria booked me I had a feeling their engagement shoot was going to kick some major bootay! And then when we landed on Napa as our location I was convinced we were going to bring the awesomeness and freaking kill this shoot. Brent and Victoria were so unbelievably easy to work with. I am totally looking forward to their wedding at the end of May, going to be crazy!!! I hope you all enjoy the photos. I see some huge canvas orders in my near future ;)

Yep, love this one... a 40x60 canvas should suffice! ;)

A New Canvas & The Cutest Kids on the Planet!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Travis Hoehne) — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 20:11:00 +0000

I just finished designing an album and I came across this shot I took at Tina & Jimmy's Wedding (I'll be blogging them soon) of Tina's bouquet in a mail box. It got me thinking that I need a canvas of some bouquets I shot over this past year... So this is what I came up with. And then there's a shot of my boys. Dagnabit they are cute!!!

A very MERRY MONDAY to you all!

Save The Date (THP Design)

noreply@blogger.com (Travis Hoehne) — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 18:17:00 +0000

Clarence and Maggie are this really great couple that I have the privilege of shooting their wedding and engagement photos. You know when you meet someone and they are just really awesome... that would be Clarence and Maggie. There's just something about them that makes you feel so comfortable around them. We did their engagement shoot in San Francisco a few months ago and hey asked me if I could design their save the date cards. Heck yeah! This is what I came up with. Let me know what you think.
