Regal Bay Photography

At Regal Bay Photography, we are dedicated to providing our clients with the highest level of professionalism and creativity in our photography services. Based in Southern California, we have a team of experienced photographers and assistants who are passionate about capturing the essence of your special moments. Our team consists of Steven R. (Commercial / Traditional Photographer), Keila I. (Photo-journalistic Photographer), and our dedicated assistants who specialize in lighting, prop, and makeup support.

We understand that each client is unique and has their own style and preferences. Therefore, we offer a variety of photography styles including commercial, traditional, and photo-journalistic. We believe that having a minimum of two photographers on each shoot ensures that we can capture multiple angles of the same event or talent, providing our clients with the best value for their investment.

Our goal is to deliver high-quality, magazine-style images that capture the essence of your event or wedding. We pride ourselves in incorporating both photojournalistic and commercial event/wedding photography styles into your images. Of course, we always cover the traditional posed shots, but since each booking includes a minimum of two photographers, we can deliver both photojournalistic and commercial styles into every traditional pose.

Creative Style, Image Quality, and Photoshop

At Regal Bay Photography, we pride ourselves in incorporating both photojournalistic and commercial event/wedding photography styles into your images. Our goal is to deliver high-quality, magazine-style images with a strong emphasis on photojournalism and commercial wedding, portrait, and event photography.

We use professional DSLRs like the 5D Mark III to shoot in an uncompressed, unprocessed digital format (.RAW). This grants us an amazing amount of dynamic range to be able to produce high-resolution photographs in any color style and variation; black & white, sepia, pastel, retro, glamor, and more.

We believe that shooting in. RAW allows for the highest level of quality to be brought out of your images and allows the photographer (during post-production) to interpret and process the complete data from your images. We don't think it's right to leave the image processing up to your camera, especially since shooting in. RAW allows us to get better detail from images and dramatically correct over or underexposed images which would otherwise be deemed unusable.

High Resolution Image Files and Printing Rights

We won't hold your images hostage. The majority of photographers will give you digital images but lower their resolution and force you to go to them to get higher sized prints. In contrast, as a standard, we deliver each of our images in complete high resolution (300ppi) format which can be used to create larger prints than those with smaller resolutions. These images also come with full printing rights, so you can print and share your images with friends and family as you see fit anytime you want.

Shoot and Burn Photography

"Shoot and burn" photography describes the action of photographing a wedding or event and burning the images from the event straight to a CD/DVD without post-processing. "Shoot and burn" photographers are usually super cheap (for a reason); unprocessed. JPEGs usually leave the couple/client with distracting elements in their images such as bad lighting, incorrect color tones, over/underexposed images, and blemishes such as pimples and scars that can cost hundreds of dollars to edit/remove later. There's no second chances when it comes to getting that once in a lifetime shot, so why leave the image processing up to your camera?
