It’s a done deal, I’m going to Vegas, whoohoo!!! I am so excited to attend this workshop, Vegas Love Story given by Bob & Dawn Davis. We are going to be shooting at the famed Bellagio hotel, and then off to Red Rock Canyon for portraits of the bride and groom before their ceremony. On day two, we will head to the boneyard of the Neon Museum to photograph several brides in one of a kind gowns by Stephanie James Couture. In fact, I think that all of the details of this wedding are going to be amazing. The bride, Samantha Lerner, works for Blu Domain, my web host, plus she is a wedding photographer herself. She has chosen some amazing details for her theme wedding. It almost makes me want to get married all over again. Luckily, I’ll get to photograph her stylish event along with a group of other photographers that I can’t wait to meet. I’m posting some of her details to inspire other brides. I grabbed these images off of her Vegas Love Story Blog (hope that you don’t mind Samantha), because there are links to some fabulous vendors. From cakes to invites, it’s worth checking out if you are planning your wedding.
My friends Cathryn & Anthony are back in South Africa now working on wedding plans. I’m sure that they are happy to be together again with so much excitement about their up coming wedding but, we miss them! Hope that you guys are basking in the sun because we finally got our typical foot of snow here in the Northeast. It was such a blast working with you both on this. I hope that you like the slideshow!
We finally got some snow this winter. When I went out to shovel a path for my little photo project, I’d say that we already had 9″ and it was still coming down.
So today’s project (I don’t know what possessed me) was to shoot a self portrait, in your favorite wedding attire while holding a single flower and (how goofy is this), you had to have a red heart on your cheek. Not my own brainstorm, but a photo contest being held by BluDomain, my web host. They are giving away a seat to a fabulous workshop called The Vegas Love Story lead by celebrity photographer Bob Davis. This is going to be a blast. It is actually the wedding of Samantha & Nathan. Samantha works at BluDomain and is also a photographer (who else could think up such a great scenario for their wedding day besides a wedding photographer). The details will be amazing, and the day after we are going to the boneyard at the Neon Graveyard to shoot several models against this surreal backdrop. This is the kind of workshop that I dream of. I only hope that it doesn’t sell out before I can get a seat, contest or not.
I’m so excited to be attending The “Master Your Craft” seminar, given by Bob Davis and Mike Colon this coming Wednesday in Hartford. I’ve met both Mike and Bob at a Pictage conference where I had the opportunity to hear them both speak. It’s amazing how much you can learn from seminars when the speakers share their knowledge and insights about our business, especially when they’re industry giants like these guys. I always leave inspired and ready to tackle a new project. I’m thrilled that they made it to a city near me. If you’re a photographer looking for ways to better your business, I highly recommend attending one of their seminars.
Yes the famous kiss with ponies shot appears again. The couple are Gerald and Airika Pope, who I met out in Idaho. They are a great photographer team based in Seattle.
I got turned onto these photo embellishments by reading the Open Source Photo forum. This is a fantastic photographers forum to learn and share what’s going on in the business, and to get tips from other photographers. I apologize for not remembering whose work I saw that intrigued me enough to check out these designs. The forums are so extensive. The company that makes these high quality digital designs is Little Dreamer Designs. Have a sweet Valentines Day everybody! BTW, my email is now up and running. The problem actually might have been me, still figuring out how to access my mail. Thanks to some technical support we are fully functional now, well at least our mail is-lol.
