Professional Wedding Photographers Biography

I suppose it's possible that it's what I do because my Grandfather was an avid amateur photographer and I did admire the man a great deal, or it could be that my mother was an artist... I couldn't tell you why for sure. What I can tell you is that I really love what I do and I spend a lot of time refining, perfecting and even obsessing over my work... It is a passion. I have spent a lot of time reflecting on things such as what is my "style" of photography. Style comes with time and is a difficult thing to force. I think more important than style is being aware of the literal nature of the image I see and striving to go beyond that in an aesthetic sense to create a captivating image. I have spent a lot of time reflecting on things such as what is my "style" of photography. Style comes with time and is a difficult thing to force. I think more important than style is being aware of the literal nature of the image I see and striving to go beyond that in an aesthetic sense to create a captivating image.Though best know as a wedding photojournalist he is also a headshot and entertainment industry still photographer. Daniel has photographed weddings and events in Southern California for over 25 years.  Daniel's unique blend of style is developed from a broad range of artistic and photographic experience. Daniel is comfortable and relaxed in both the studio and shooting on location, possessing the uncanny ability to be creative even under pressure. Daniel is a strong advocate of killing your television and enjoys reading, coffee and intense conversation. He currently lives in Ventura, California with his wife Jennifer and four children and when not on shooting assignments he can most often be found at home playing with his wife and kids. Daniel Colegrove (1964), is a Ventura, California based photographer, Established in the industry with his early use of photojournalism techniques in wedding photography, striking editorial and commercial portraits, and his pioneering use of alternative lighting techniques in forensic photography. He is also notable for using his skills to promote awareness in many social issues including drug abuse, infant mortality and child welfare. He has worked in a wide range of photographic specialties including: Photojournalism, Movie Stills, Theatrical Headshots, Rhythmic Sports, Editorial, and Forensic Photography.
 Daniel Colegrove was born as Daniel Logue in Whittier, California and grew up in Ojai, where he attended Nordhoff High School and later moved to Ventura, where he still lives. He became interested in photography at 16 photographing surfing, an interest which transformed almost immediately into a career, shooting professional assignments in 1980. His mother was an impressionist painter and stepfather was an aerospace engineer. Colegrove said he was destined to become a "creative scientist" shunning the term artist in conjunction with his photographic work. Colegrove graduated from the UCSB in 1984 with a degree in Psychology. The year before his graduation he began covering assignments as a photojournalist in conflict areas around the globe. Today, though best known as an entertainment industry photographer shooting movie stills and studio headshots for actors and entertainers, he photographs weddings, events and commercial editorial assignments as well.I kind of failed to grow up in Ojai, California in the late 70's. The idea of becoming a photographer had never crossed my mind. I was thinking Rock Star or Professional Surfer. My first camera was a Kodak Instamatic I think I was about 6 when I got it, but the story really starts in 1980 at the beach in Ventura, California. My friends all wanted to become pro surfers and live on the beach in Hawaii surfing the Banzai Pipeline the first step (but obviously dude) was to get their picture in the surfing magazines. My mother was an artist and my dad was an aerospace engineer and I generally stayed sober enough to understand what I read so I was the logical choice for camera man. Money was scraped up and a Canon F1 was purchased along with a few used lenses and I became our official Surfing Photographer.I was 16 and had no idea how to submit photo's to a magazine so I stuffed an envelope with prints and a cover letter to one of the surf rags. About a month latter I received a letter that said they weren't hiring but would accept freelance work. Lucky for me they also sent forms that had information about submitting images and stories and multiple copies of copyright release contracts. My first shot was published in the spring of 1980 and I got a check for $50.
By 1982 it started to get serious, and the reality of it was... I didn't actually know what I was doing. I had friends that attended the Brooks Institute in Santa Barbara so I began to sneak into their classes and borrow their books. I took a few photography classes at Ventura College. By this time I was getting by as a Hollywood and Los Angeles Band Photographer and Freelance Photojournalist. I started doing Headshots for aspiring actors, models, dancers and other entertainers about this same time.At Peter Townend Wedding Photography we aim to bring a fresh approach to how your wedding photographs are presented on the page. Over time styles change, and wedding albums are no different, so in keeping with those trends we have moved away from putting pictures behind mounts, with the exception of our Traditional album, to offering an alternative style with personalized pages and custom backgrounds as in our Montage or Storybook packages.The photographs on the web site and in our sample albums show how we present your pictures, in a fresh alternative style to the Traditional method. You choose the presentation style you like best and have that tailored to your own wedding photographs.A combination of complimentary styles throughout the album is very popular, from a simple clean looking background to something more stylized for the intimate shots of the bride and groom together.When the pages are made up you will have the opportunity to preview them and make any changes prior to them going to print.
Our approach to taking your photographs is to capture a combination of relaxed, informal and posed shots, some of which you will not be aware of until you see the preview pictures. This can only be achieved successfully by having two photographers working together, one with the specific task to record the day's events in a spontaneous, candid style. We have male and female photographers which help put the nervous bride, and groom, at ease. We believe with two wedding photographers, and our attention to detail and the care we take in presenting your pictures in your album, this will give you many happy memories in the years.
