Fendelander Wedding

Wedding went off without a hitch...ok I am lying (How did you know). Melted my flash. Now have to buy the better version *darn*. Really though it was an excellent learning experience. Their ceremony was short but I did manage to nail all the important shots. The formals went well but I probably could have incorporated a bit more time. Photos of objects and details during the wedding went amazing which is really great since this is one area I really felt I was lacking in. The reception photos were exceptable. I am betting they will be thrilled with them. I however know that this is the next area of my craft that I need to focus on. Getting the wonderful interactions of guests "naturally" and having these images be creative and pleasing, not just "candid" is now my new focus.

Since that wedding I have been on 6 "interviews" with one new booking and two I feel really insanely confident about. Cross your fingers mama needs some new equipment lol. I will leave you with a few of my favorites from this last wedding...

Workin it...

Went to go scout out the location for the Fendenlander wedding next weekend. Was pleasantly surprised to find out the ceremony is not going to be in a hotel room after all (dreaded that) but in a meeting room within the hotel. The front desk clerk is going to be marrying them and I have full reign of the hotel lobby to take my photos lol. This thing is just crazy I guess that is what happens with last minute weddings eh? Now I can sleep a little easier though having finally gone down to the scene of the crime and started those ideas a flowin.

Created an ad for the business and listed in on craigslist.com under all areas of Colorado. Here is a peek at it, let me know what you think. Hopefully the knowledge I am gaining at my new advertising job has paid off a little.



Tomorrow I am headed up to take some maternity photos for a friend. This will be my first time working with a backdrop indoors as well as my first trial with my new Lightsphere. Should be interesting on both occasions.

Things have been pretty uneventful here lately. I have been getting some response on my wedding photography and actually met with a bride the other day. I am still waiting to hear back and not feeling so good about it. A photographer I am and a damn good one but I need to learn a lot in the sales department.

Adeau for now...will post a couple pics when I have some time.
