by Administrator on Mar.04, 2010, under Photo and Video, Weddings
Ah, yes, I have been slacking on posting…however…here are some great pics of Dana and Shoe’s wedding. The had the ceremony at John Baca Park in Huntington Beach, and the reception in the front yard area of their apartment. Great family, friends, and of course, neighbors! The weather was perfect, and the day was even better.
Jaydan’s Birthday

What a great weekend. Friday night, I shot Jaydan’s birthday party at Scooter’s Jungle in Aliso Viejo. What a great place for kids and adults. Jaydan turned 2 years old, and let me tell you, he had a blast! Scooter’s Jungle is in a wherehouse, where they have big rooms with giant blow up slides, jumpers, zip lines, air hockey, ping pong, and all kinds of toys for the kids to play with. You get your own private room with jumper and play area, food area with tables and benches and your own private bathroom–unlike Chuck E. Cheese, where you are being ran into by other people’s out of control children. A Host is assigned to you, and MCs the cake cutting, birthday song, food, and cuts the cake, cleans up the messes, serves the kids and everything. THEY ARE AWESOME! I highly recommend you all try it for a party. Of course a personal thank you to Amrita, Jaydan’s mom, who graciously invited my daughter to attend while I was shooting. She was one of the oldest kids (except for those kids over 21) and had the best time!
On a shorter note, I booked 2 more dates for weddings and birthday parties this year, so my calendar is filling up fast!
Have a great week to you all, and enjoy the pics from Scooter’s Jungle.
Tania and Ahmed’s Wedding Day
by Administrator on Jan.24, 2010, under Photo and Video, Weddings
I absolutely love to shoot traditional East Indian Weddings. The colors of the sarees are wonderful for photographs, there is always a performance or two by family members, the bride wears beautifully handcrafted, beaded clothing, bangles, gold jewelry, and henna. I spent four days with Tania and Ahmed–The Mehndi, Pithi, Wedding day, and Satada. Four days of fun, good food, family, and celebration.
Ariel’s Bat Mitzvah

What a great time I had with these girls. I remember when I had that much energy. It was a “Night Club” theme. These girls had everything from music, to ice cream bar, to professional dancers. You can only imagine what happens when you mix a camera, backdrop, teenage girls and props!
Manjoo Mehndi
by Administrator on Dec.28, 2009, under Indian Events, Mehndi
Nothing beats the beauty and elegance of a South Asian/East Indian event. Farhad and Helen had their Mehndi in Brea, California, and their wedding was the following weekend in San Fransisco. I was lucky enough to get to shoot their Mehndi! Great Indian food, beautiful decor, and best of all–warm, welcoming people who make you feel as if you are part of their family.

This has become an annual event for me. Dilan and his Brother Jayden are just adorable. Their mom always plans a fabulous party, fun for all.
Liaren’s 18th Birthday
by Administrator on Nov.23, 2009, under Birthday Parties
Similar to a Quinceanera, Filipino’s have a big 18th birthday celebration for their daughters. I had a wonderful time photographing this event. This was the first one that I had the privilege of shooting. Liaren was so beautiful in her dress. Her color was purple–my fav! I think my favorite part was the “18 Candles” ceremony.
Nadia and Ray

Nadia and Ray were married in Whittier at the Candlewood Country Club. They had a reception at Geezer’s in Santa Fe Springs on the patio. The day couldn’t have been anymore perfect. Nadia made a beautiful bride!

About
by Administrator on Nov.17, 2009, under Photo and Video
O’Neal Photography and Videography is located in Southern California, however we work worldwide. We are available for destination weddings just about anywhere in the world. I do both photo-journalistic style and posed photos. My favorite are the photo-journalistic style photos. They are “real”. They capture the moment as it happens, not a posed instant replay that often looks fake. All images are put onto a website for viewing and ordering prints and print products. Your guests can also purchase prints and print products. We archive all of your images and they are available for you even 20-50 years from now should anything happen to your originals.
Our videos are professional quality, like a movie of your day. We make then fun to watch. They are not your typical boring video that people play to torture their friends and family. High quality DVDs, with chapter selection menus, music of your choice, professional editing, and a highlight montage of the day. It’s fun to actually hear what people say and how they react. Alot of times we get people who say “I didn’t know you caugh that” or “I didn’t know that even happened”. Video is the eyes and ears of your day, another great way to document your history for generations to come.
