Welcome to my blog!
My name is Jeffrey Neal and I am an Orange County Photographer!

This is where you can see all that I am doing in the world of photography!  On my blog you will find the latest images from all the shoots that I have, information for my clients and any other crazy ideas or projects that I have.  
I had so much shooting this engagement session!  When I met with Kristen and Morgan I knew that these two were going to be so much fun to work with.  They are a great looking couple and such a cute chemistry with one another.  I love shooting engagement sessions and getting to spend that time with each one of my clients.  It is so crucial for me to get them comfortable being in front of the camera before there wedding day.  I will be speaking about this at WPPI at the PRO DPI booth so stop by and check it out.  Thank you again to Kristen and Morgan for such an awesome day!

Craft beer is an art form in and of itself!  It has been so exciting to glimpse into the world of craft beer and hear the amazing stories of each of the brewers.  The time, thought, science and creativity that goes into every craft beer is inspiring and heart warming.  I really believe that craft beer is more of an experience offered then just having a beer.

The word "Pub" is short for the word "Public House".  The idea is a place to meet, have fellowship, discuss politics and life and doing all of this over a nice glass of hand-cfrafted beer.  The head brewers of each "Pub" take great pride in giving there patrons an excellent glass of beer to enjoy while meeting and discussing daily issues or just catching with their friends.  This project of shooting and learning the stories of each brewer has been tremendously rewarding.  
 
This is a shot of Shaun O'Sullivan from 21st Amendment brewery in San Francisco.  He flew down yesterday to tell his story and let me grab a few shots of him.  Check out his site and try one of his beers.

I know, two posts in one day!  Yesterday I headed up to shoot with Heather and Ryan to Long Beach at yet another place that I have not yet shot an engagement session at and I was so excited with how they turned out.  The light was amazing and Heather and Ryan were so great in front of the camera that it made my day very easy.

This is not a place that I would have picked to shoot but as I started shooting it reminded me that you can make amazing images anywhere, you just have to think about what your going to do and have a vision for what you want the final image to look like.  I love shooting engagement sessions because I really get to know what my clients are like during our time together and see the little things they share in how they love each other.  

Thank you Heather and Ryan for an awesome shoot and I can not wait for your wedding!

Last Friday I headed out to Caspers Wilderness Park to shoot with Jaclyn and Tyler!  I am always a fan of shooting places that I have never shot before so I was stoked when they told me where they wanted to do their engagement session.  Jaclyn and Tyler are both great people and both love the outdoors so Caspers was a great location to shoot with theses two.

There is something so awesome about shooting engagement sessions that reminds me of how much I love being married to my wife.  The freshness and spark of a couple that is getting ready to be married tends to be contagious in my own marriage.  I love being in love and had a blast shooting with these two.  Check them out!

I have been super stoked for this post.  Last Wednesday I headed up to San Francisco to start shooting this project with Redtail Media called the American Craft Brewer.  I can not give all the details of this project yet but trust me you will be hearing a lot about this.  The basic idea is to put together a photo essay and video that tells the story of the craft brewers in America.  If you would like to you can check out the "I am a Craft Brewer" piece done by Redtail Media to get an idea of how awesome this will be.  

The stories of each of these brewers are so inspiring.  They are artists in their own right living the American dream by creating a "beer experience" that is unlike anything you have ever tasted.  So much thought, creativity, passion, science and hard work goes into every beer that they create.  If you have never had a "craft beer" I suggest that you try one as soon as you can.  I will put links to the brewery's that we shot so that you can order some beer or just go to Bev Mo and get some.  

Here are some of my favorite shots from my time out there.  The idea is to create images of brewers that are just as creative as the beers that they are making and something that the beer industry has never seen before.  Let me know your thoughts.
