April and Joe ~ October 23, 2010

It doesn't get much better than this; shooting beautiful brides is so gratifying! ~ April looks so amazing with her hair up, the wind softly blowing her veil, and the autumn colors muted in the background!

Saturday's wedding was a special pleasure for Chris. April is the niece of Chris' long-time friend Wayne, and it was so great to reconnect again! More on Joe and April's special day to come ...

We've Been "Captured" By David Ziser!

Last night's five-hour session with internationally-recognized photog David Ziser was the bomb! The ballroom at the Woburn Hilton was jam packed with professional colleagues seeking to catch a bit of David's "magic" when it comes to mastering the art of flash photography. Actually, now that we think about it, a better title for the program might have been "Mastering the Light", rather than Captured By ... just our personal "two cents," David!

Not only did David and his wife LaDawn give away over $6,000 in door prizes, (woohoo - free is good!) but they opened us up to their incredible wealth of photographic knowledge -- from the intricacies of perspective, lens selection, and on and off-camera flash, to recognizing and capturing classic lighting patterns, establishing proper exposures and using backlighting for dramatic effect.

We definitely plan on utilizing some of the pointers we learned and that can only benefit our clients. This course was totally about making our images more exciting than ever! Differentiating ourselves from the competition is a GOOD thing ...
