Episode 6: Denis Reggis and Joe Buissink – Part 3 of 3

In this this final part of the main interview series with Denis and Joe, Joe shares what makes him so passionate about weddings. Denis recounts the story of the photography that became Time Magazine’s photo of the year, of the decade, and of the century. Special thanks to my buddies at Elysium Productions for allowing me to show a scene from the wedding movie of Gary and Melissa Fong. Also, special thanks to the Los Angeles, Orange County and Claremont, CA PUGs for hosting this event. And kudos to my friend, colleague, and associate producer on this episode, Joth Riggs of Whitestone Productions in Westlake Village, CA. I also want to thank Elysium Productions who gave permission to use footage from the incredible wedding video they made for Gary Fong.

Episode 04: Denis Reggie and Joe Buissink – Part 1 of 3

My wife and I love to shop at Whole Foods. Whenever we can, we pick up fruit, milk, frozen food, protein bars, cereal, and my favorite, Rice Dream. (Hmmmmm!) But, every now and then we go to Lucky’s too. What does any of this have to do with today’s episode starring celebrity wedding photographers Denis Reggie and Joe Buissink. Well, you’ll have to watch to find out. But keep this in mind. You know how a square is a rhombus, but a rhombus isn’t necessarily a sqaure? (C’mon, think back to junior high math). Well, a person who hires Denis Reggie to shoot their wedding most likely shops at Whole Foods; but just because a person shops at Whole Foods, that don’t mean they can hire Denis Reggie (present company included. Are you adequately confused yet? Good. Then hit play and gain some insightful, no holds barred wisdom from these two masters.
