I just sold my first Seattle Panoramic print to the amazing Michael Arrington, founder of TechCrunch and CrunchFund. I was so honored and humbled to see him write up a post on his personal blog about the photo.

Lots exciting going on lately for kapchur.us photography!
We’ve been shooting lots of head shots lately, booking summer 2012 and some 2013 weddings, shooting club events and hanging with some really fun folks! Below is a smattering of some of the recent activity.

We’ve branched out doing LOTS more headshots recently. Some are for artists for their portfolios, others are more corporate style.
We’ve got great rates right now! $125/head, no minimum! If you have 10 or more in one session we’ll drop the rate to $75/head. That’s usually a pretty good deal considering we come in and setup our mini-studio on-site or meet you at a pre-determined location.

WINNER to be announced soon!!
On February 1, 2012 the Washington State Senate will be voting on Marriage Equality in the State of Washington which would allow same sex couples full access to the legal system of civil marriage. Although the bill passage may be challenged after the vote by referendum, it’s highly likely to still pass a statewide vote of the citizens. With that said, kapchur.us photography will be raffling off a wedding photo package for ONE very lucky same sex couple. The drawing will be held on April 1.
So, what IS part of this package??? This package would include, an amazing 2 hour engagement shoot with a bottle of champagne to enhance the mood, and for the wedding day, a full day with two photographers (each photographer documenting the earlier prep for each of the two wedding participants), up to 15 hours of shooting in one day. We’ll then edit the photos, post the “best of the best” on Facebook for your friends and family (usually with 48 hours), then we’ll create a SmugMug gallery where you, your friends and family can order physical prints. We’ll also burn a set of the photos on DVD.
We would like to be able to use the photos taken during the winning ceremony as promotional material as well. Much more information on our wedding packages on our website: http://kaphcur.us/pricing
More details to be fleshed out with winning participants!
Travel expenses would need to be agreed upon if the wedding venue is 50 miles outside of Seattle. If you live outside of Washington State, but would like to come to WA to get married feel free to enter! WA State Citizens interested in a destination wedding outside of WA (same sex of course for the purposes of this raffle) need only pay for agreed upon travel expenses!
Questions or inquiries can be submitted on our website using the Contact Us form at the top of the page.
We CANNOT wait to share this special day with you! You’ll look amazing and we’ll capture the love and commitment you’ve shared for so long, that now FINALLY will be come legally recognized in the State of Washington, an historic moment for all of us!

Ladies & Gentlefolk, I present to you Dudoir 101… huge thanks to Devin for doing the shoot with me and allowing me to “expose” them to the world!

What does ‘Dudoir’ mean?
Hi Rick, here’s a posting where I lay it out “in words”: http://kapchur.us/2011/11/dudoir/
would love to do a shoot with you in the future or soon 
very nice pics. thanks for sharing:)
Thank you Devin for letting me use this photo I took of you for this posting.
As a couple of male photographers, we don’t get a lot of opportunity for boudoir shoots with the ladies. Traditionally, ladies tend to invest in a boudoir photo shoot as a special gift to their husbands or fiances on their wedding day! It’s a little steamy, a little racy and a whole lotta sexy for their husbands to enjoy, even when she’s not feeling so sexy.
For the past couple weeks I’ve been trying to figure out how to launch a product for MEN to offer a similar product to their companions. And thanks to the talented linguist and my good friend, Derek Lactaoen, we’ve come up with DUDOIR, boudoir for men.
We’re still fleshing out pricing but here’s what the plan entails:
- arrange a few hours at a Seattle (or other local) hotel (the classier the better, and hopefully under $100)
- once there, capture intimate images and portraits featuring everything sensual about you as a man
- after the shoot we’ll arrange a viewing (private for just you or you can include your significant other)
- at the viewing you can decide whether you only want the digitals, or whether you want it made into a booklet, calendar, or any number of other materials
- within a month of shooting your products SHOULD be in your hands (digitals within a week)
Keep in mind this gift doesn’t have to be for your current significant other. I’m sure there are plenty of potentials out there for the single fellas who would love to use these photos as a… luring method of courtship. (Taking sexting to a whole new level?)
For the rest of November 2011 ONLY, we’ll offer this service for $200 plus hotel (digitals only, add-on products extra). Ho ho ho? :)

I’m no hipster, HOWEVER, I do like to follow the “trends of the time” when it comes to technology. Also, I’m a communication junky! LOVE to write, love to talk and love to conspire about new ideas!
This is exactly why I thought kapchur.us photography could be a little different than some other photographers.
In a discussion today with the ever lovely Rebecca Lovell of GeekWire, I explained that I loved photographing the tech events because I know so many people at the events! Also, because I connected with the community’s passions in so many different ways. Beyond that, I understand the business advantages to the organizers who start publishing content and photos of the event ASAP! It’s for this one reason that I promise at least a handful of images to be published on Facebook within 24 hours of the event. This keeps your guests engaged in the event and with one another for a few days after it occurs, sometimes even longer!
I always think it’s great to see photos from events after being tagged! It’s a great way to remind myself who I met and whose name I’ve already forgotten! But if the photos go online fast enough and folks start tagging it can be a great reminder of who you met AND who you wanted to meet, but didn’t get a chance to.
For those who don’t like to be tagged on Facebook because of various reasons, please remember to take the precautions to prevent that. Here are some instructions. Other things to keep in mind, if you see photos appear of you that you don’t approve of, feel free to tell the producer of the photos to remove it from Facebook. Most will oblige without question. What if you haven’t set the permissions to prevent you from being tagged, is there a way to remove the tag? YES! Go to the photo and under the photo where you see your name as someone tagged in the photo, hover your cursor over your name. You should see a little box appear above and one option inside that box is “Remove Tag”. This will remove your identity from the photo and will remove that photo from associating with your profile.
I love being ahead of the curve! Hope this gives you some ideas for your Facebook photo management.

Just recently a wedding client brought Jeweled Bouquets to my attention. I’d never seen them, nor heard of them before (such a guy thing to say), but I’m in LOVE! They are AMAZING! So, after doing some searching around I found this one site on Etsy that hand makes them (not sure anyone is pumping these babies out of a factory yet)… and it seems to me that they are quite reasonably priced!
Hope you enjoy them as much as I do! (Click on the image below for more like it at Noaki Jewelry of Los Angeles, CA)
Such a spectacular piece!
