Beautiful Miramonte Winery, Temecula CA

Miramonte winery has been around for a while.  However, they are just finishing up a multi-million dollar renovation and they have established themselves as the new competition on the block.  They sit on top of one of the most beautiful hills in wine-country and enjoy stunning 180-degree views and awesome sunsets.  If you haven't been to Miramonte for a while then it is definitely worth a visit.  Oh yeah, and they do weddings!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2012 Workshop Schedule

For all of you photographers out there... it is time for the Hulse Photography Workshops to begin again.  As always, it is One-on-One but instead of doing just one 8-hour workshop we are breaking it up into two 6-hour days.  We've found that students retain a LOT MORE when we do it this way.  

The first step is to call us at 951.303.6507.  I'll figure out where you are with your skills, create some goals and customize it to your needs.  Includes a nice mix of time behind the camera, studio and Photoshop.  Nothing held back. 

This year's schedule is going to be cut at around mid-March so don't drag your feet.

New Nikon D4 is here!!!

I JUST received an announcement that the new Nikon camera is FINALLY out.  It has been been delayed and delayed with natural disasters in Japan and Singapore but here it is.  

It's a beefier camera and 20% more expensive than the D3.  Of course I have to buy it.  But I must admit that I'm unimpressed with the new features.  I was hoping for 24 megapixels or more.  Rumor is that the new D800 will be 36 megapixels.   

Pala Mesa Commercial Shoot

I was hired by one of the local golf resorts to shoot their property for their 2012 marketing materials.  They have invested a lot of money into the property it is absolutly beautiful.

South Coast Winery - WineMaker's Dinner

I had the honor of photographing the first event ever at South Coast's new barrel room.  It was a very private 'Cocktail Hour' with Jim Carter (SC's owner) and his close friends.  It was so new that they were literally putting in the finishing touches just hours before the party.  

Following was South Coast's lavish WineMaker's Dinner.  The night's special guest was a celebrity chef from Hollywood.  I wish I knew his name but I don't have it.  If you have never been part of a WineMaker's dinner then you're missing out.  It is one of life's great meals!  

Ponte Wedding - Jenna & Brian

This is my 11-11-11 wedding.  I think every wedding venue across the country was booked on this particular Friday.  It's one of those dates that gets snatched up two years in advance.  I think it's VERY ironic that 7-7-7, 8-8-8, 9-9-9, 10-10-10 and 11-11-11 all fell on weekends.  I just checked for 12-12-12 of next year and, unfortunately, it falls on a Wednesday.  Of course, these dates only come around once a century.  

Cool date or not, I think Jenna and Brian's wedding was perfect.
