The Special Event!

Hey guys! This week, we’re getting a chance to ditch our winter duds and head down to Tampa for The Special Event. I’m lucky to be joining an awesome team of Richmond wedding pros-

If you’re in town for The Special Event, please join us this Wednesday at 2pm in Room 13 for  Time Crunch, managing the delicate balance between your clients wants and the professionals involved needs on the BIG day.

Brides and their entourages are being bombarded with more and more opportunities and products to dazzle their guests and make their events memorable. As a planner how do you balance it all? It’s our job to “make it happen” and we walk a very fine line, wanting to make our clients happy and leveraging/maintaining our relationships with the event professionals involved in the BIG day process. How do we manage the “stylized” photo shoots in between ceremony and reception, the film maker that needs his shots too, the make up artist and hair stylist that committed to 24 services, and don’t forget the “angry chef that has $37,000 worth of filet mignon turning to rubber if we aren’t seating guests promptly at the designated time.

See you there!

Chicago

I recently had the opportunity to go to Chicago for a weekend trip. I was there for an Audrey Woulard seminar (Audrey rules:). I got to spend some time with my good friend and fellow wedding photographer, Janessa Bullen. The trip did me so much good! I learned a ton from Audrey and I got to hang out and explore the city with Janessa. It was great to have an entire weekend spent in grown-up land and only could have been better if I could have breathed (airborne is a waste of time)!! JB, I hope that we get to do it again soon. Here are some of my shots from the city tour. If anybody wants to know, I do sometimes explore from the inside of a car and yes, I do take pictures from moving vehicles =D.
