Nicole & Michael

August 29, 2008

Nicole & Michael’s wedding was awesome. Lighthouse Point Park is such a beautiful place to have a wedding. I am hoping to be there for her “Trash The Dress Session.”  They are such a nice and fun loving couple. One of the groomsman was Kevin, who is the owner of Kevin Lee Studios. that videotaped the wedding.

To brides who are still looking for hair & make up, may I suggest that you check out Dana Bartone’s website. She did such a great job with this wedding!!!

Ten Eyck SUPER Tuesdays!

August 23, 2008

I just went to Carla’s blog and read the great news that she will start offering a full day shooting and post-production intensive workshop; and the best of all this ….  It is limited to only THREE photographers per class. 

Wanna know something better? ….. It’s only $350.- p/person with Mexican lunch included. What? You don’t like Mexican…? 

Here is what she is going to cover:

We are going to SHOOT!

The focus will be on portraits- they can be bridal or engagement- the point being it has to be a solid portrait, which you can then apply to whatever you love shooting.

But: we are going to focus on GETTING IT RIGHT IN CAMERA, the first time! That’s right! No shooting and then saying, ‘well, what if you asked them to look this way- your shot would be perfect’, or ‘I wish that you had opened your lens up more’ etc. NO. 
Set it up.
Shoot it.
LOOK AT IT! 
Is it working?
WHY NOT? 

And then….. learn how to MAKE IT WORK!

*Note.  Mexican Lunch!!! (Keep dreaming)

I went to Maryland for a week and came home with a  great surprise … this voicemail!

“I received your album today of our wedding and I couldn’t wait to call you.  It is the most beautiful, meticulously designed, well crafted wedding album I had ever seen. Its a beautiful piece of art and I cannot thank you enough.  It was a pleasure to work with you planning,  the day of, and during my wedding. It was something I and my family will treasure for ever.”

As a photographer this is the nicest part of completing the wedding and knowing that everyone was appreciative of the artistic skills and enjoyed the finished product. I enjoy my work because there are moments when people I have worked with just let me know how much they appreciate my work.

Last week I entered one of my images from Claribel’s wedding in a photo contest.  Jenny, owner of Trendy Camera Straps has an interest in shoes  and decided to hold a contest of images of shoes.

My image was one of the final pictures, placing second!   How exciting this was for me and  Fabuluxephotos :)
