Only a few Saturdays left

Posted February 25, 2014 to wedding by: .

This year’s wedding season calendar began filling up last spring.

I only have three Saturdays left open between the busy months of June and September.

Those dates are:

  • August 23
  • August 30
  • September 27

There are still some dates available for you procrastinators having an early spring wedding, or for those who are just getting started planning their October, November and December weddings.

If you have that date set for your wedding, or have a friend who digs my style and approach who has one of those dates set, contact me now to get on the calendar.

Let’s get some history on your walls

Posted February 25, 2014 to specials by: .

It’s odd to me that most of the professional photography done nowadays is either for engagements, senior portraits or weddings. Remember back in the day, before iPhones, Instagram and Facebook, when people actually had images that captured their family history hanging on their walls?

I want to use my skill set to make sure your walls aren’t blank and you have something to pass on to your children and grandchildren.

To celebrate my new website, I’m offering an “Any time is a good time for memories” special.

Book a two-hour portrait session by April 1, and receive a free 16×24-inch canvas display. That’s a $455 value for $275.

Contact me to today to get your session scheduled.

A Cataldo Engagement Session Adventure

Posted February 21, 2014 to engagement portrait by: .

Chris and Stephanie are all about the outdoor lifestyle. And they take advantage of all that North Idaho has to offer.

We walked along the river bank, tromped through snowy forests, walked on top of ice with a river flowing under it, and ended up underneath a freeway. The freeway doesn’t really jive with the rest of the outdoorsy settings, but it just goes to show how adventurous these two are.

If the engagement session was any indication to how their wedding will be, I’m in for a fun day on June 14.

Katie and Steve are a lovely couple who contacted me more than a year ago to shoot their upcoming wedding this summer.

It was so nice that they traveled from Seattle and ventured around downtown Spokane with me in the frigid weather for their engagement shoot.

Hypothermic Engagement

The Inland Northwest population is fairly tough.

Cold weather doesn’t bother us much during the winter. But when it gets down to 12 degrees for a high, even the hardiest of couples may rethink doing their engagement session outdoors.

For Amanda and Kenny, they were all in. No bone-chilling cold weather was going to keep them from frolicking in the snow, taking walks by the lake or postponing there save the date cards.

They were brave. I was bundled up like the kid from “A Christmas Story”. I’m just glad I was able to pick myself up off the ground.

A Snowy Engagement

It seems like this year, everyone wanted snow in their engagement portraits.

As luck, or I guess bad luck, would have it, there wasn’t much snow until the beginning of February. So when you have four couples all waiting for snow, you have to keep it fair and go with the couple that’s been waiting the longest.

Luckily for Chris and Amanda, when the snow hit, it really hit. There was so much snow at one point during our day, I had a hard time seeing them through the falling flakes. But despite the cold, heavy snow fall, these two had a great time goofing off in front of my lens.

As for the next three couples, there’s more snow in the forecast.

The Way Back Wedding

Posted February 7, 2014 to wedding by: .

My buddy Andy and I first met in college in 2000. He was the photo editor of the campus paper and I had just came on staff.

We worked well together. We traveled together to a conference on the East Coast and had an awesome time. But then, as what happens with a lot of friendships, we lost contact after he left for Missouri to go to school and ultimately ended up in Japan.

Every year or so we would see each other when he came back to Coeur d’Alene for holidays. Then one year, he had a girl with him. Yuki ended up being his fiancé. He had met in Missouri while attending college and then moved to Japan to be close to her. It was good to see my old friend from college find someone special. It was even better when he asked me to document their winter wedding here in Coeur d’Alene.

In this life, you don’t know where it’s going to lead you. For Andy, it led him to Japan to be with the woman who would ultimately become his wife. For me, it led to me have a 13-year stint at the newspaper in Coeur d’Alene and a business that I enjoy immensely. And it all started in that small newspaper office in Coeur d’Alene.

Amy & Skip’s Spokane Union

Posted February 4, 2014 to wedding by: .

Amy and Skip are an adventurous couple. They love to laugh and been bit by the travel bug like no other couple.

This dynamic duo traveled around the world with each other before their wedding event took place last October. Their wedding reflected their passion for life and travel.

They live life to the fullest and appreciate the finer things. For them, downtown Spokane was central to who they are. It’s where they met. Gonzaga is where they went to school and wanted to be married. And it’s where they wanted friends and family to gather in celebration of their union at The Davenport Hotel.

From the table assignments which highlighted their travels, to the amazing decor of the two halls inside the historic hotel, Amy and Skip wanted to share their appreciation for everything that life has gifted them with.

Welcome to the new Jerome Pollos Photography blog

Posted February 4, 2014 to Uncategorized by: .

It’s been two years since my previous blog went live.

I’ve had quite a few great people and moments grace the pages of that old blog. And with this people and moments were also the stories behind them. And that format will remain the same.

But now the blog shows big, glorious images, is easier to navigate and easier to share with friends and family.

So stay tuned for regular updates from shoots, special offers and helpful information regarding photography, planning for your wedding, and maybe the occasional totally irrelevant post about food, fun or whatever other goofy stuff I can find.

Stay awesome.
