Many Thanks

This year has been so amazing for me professionally. From taking pictures of President-Elect Barack Obama, to shooting at some of the best wedding venues in the state, to venturing into California and Washington for a few weddings, Becerra Photography has really grown over the last 12 months. However there have been a few people who have been helping behind the scenes and I just wanted to give a little shout out to those who have helped bring you some pretty amazing pictures this year.

First, thank you Steve Wagner! I met Steve after shooting a few weddings that his wife Nicole had done makeup for. Steve and I hit it off right away. We both have a passion for photography which is only surpassed by our passion for buying the latest photographic equipment. =) Steve worked with me on quite a few weddings in 2008 and I hope to have him shoot with me a lot in 2009!


Thank you Tino Zapien! Tino is currently one of my photography students and he shot his first wedding with me this year. I have been so impressed with his work both in wedding photography and in the classroom. He is constantly pushing the creative envelope and teaching me new things. He has a bright photographic future. But just so you know, when he becomes a famous photographer some day, remember that you read about him here first!


Thank you Lydia Shute! Lydia is a former student of mine who is majoring in graphic design. She currently designs my wedding albums and does a much better job than I am capable of doing. She really understands how to put my pictures together to tell the story of the wedding day. Hiring Lydia has been such a blessing because it has freed up a lot of my time so I can focus more on making great photographs.

Thank you Carlos Becerra (Dad) What can I say about my dad? Not only has he shot many weddings with me this year, my dad is always encouraging me to "Go for it!". Whenever I need a boost of confidence I can always count on my dad to point me in the right direction.

Well there you have it. I don't always have the opportunity to give these people the credit they deserve but I just wanted to say thanks for helping to make 2008 such an amazing year!
