Mod Blog » Fine Art Photojournalism

Hi there!

Our names are Craig and Beka Schott (pronounced as in, "Mod Photography shot our wedding and did an amazing job!"). We are based out of Loma Linda, CA, where we live with our four cats, Pico, India, Merlyn and Pixie - affectionately referred to by their acronym, P.I.M.P.

Here on our blog you can see our most recent work, as well as what is happening in our lives. We love vintage clothing and listening to vinyl on our old record player, and searching yard sales and thrift stores for more of the same.

Being photographers is much more than just a job for us, it's what we love to do and we always try to bring that passion through in our work. We refer to our style of photography as Fine Art Photojournalism, because we see our role as not only documenting a special moment in your life, but doing so from a highly artistic perspective. We don't want to just give our clients photos, we want to give them art.

We are very relaxed and easy to work with (who needs extra stress from their photographer on their wedding day?) but we are also very professional. We try to build a relationship with our clients, instead of just treating them like customers.

Please enjoy our photos here and feel free to leave us a comment (we love when people comment!).

Thanks for visiting our blog!

Nathan + Mie, Wedding!

Tuesday, July 27, 2010 Posted in Wedding

Over the weekend Craig and I photographed Nathan and Mie’s wedding. What a fun event! We started the day off with some posed photos at Villa del Sol, then headed over to the Fullerton Arboretum for family shots and their beautiful ceremony under a tree. Afterward, we wandered through the arboretum for more fun photos and then headed over to La Vie en Rose for an intimate dinner celebration. At the end of the day we had trekked over 6 miles! Nathan and Mie set aside a lot of time for photos during their day and we had a great time with them. Thanks again for having us be a part of your celebration!

Stay tuned for another post soon with photos from their reception!

Saturday night Craig and I celebrated with and photographed the joint birthday party of John and Traci. Their party was a fun affair held at the cozy wine bar, Time in a Bottle, in downtown Redlands. The wine and food were delicious and everyone had a blast in our Mod Photo Studio. Thanks again for a great evening, you two!

Feasting on the Farm, the event!

Monday, June 28, 2010 Posted in Events

Yesterday Beka and I had the great pleasure of photographing the “Feasting on the Farm” fundraiser event for the Redlands Conservancy Emerald Necklace Project. The day started with wine and appetizers at the Three Sisters Farm, and later moved up the road to the Powell Farm for dinner, music, more wine and Hangar 24 Orange Wheat beer. Everything was amazing. For appetizers, there were stuffed squash blossoms (hundreds of them, freshly picked that morning), spring rolls and salad on skewers. And for dinner, there were grilled goat tacos in freshly made tortillas, sweet potato hash, black beans, squash, salad with edible flowers and beets. The farms were beautiful, the people were friendly, and the food was delicious. It was one of the best events we’ve been to in a long time. Special thanks to Chef Lee Burton for contacting us about this event and getting us involved. We had a great time, Lee!
