Trevor and Kristen {Houma Wedding Photography}

Posted on February 7, 2012

Trevor and Kristen were married at the beautiful St. Joseph Co-Cathedral in Thibodaux and had their reception at Royal Villa in Raceland. This was my first time at Royal Villa and it was great working with Danny over there. Kristen was able to get ready in their prep room as well, which is well-equipped for hair and make-up. Congrats you guys, it was a beautiful wedding and I hope you enjoyed Colorado!

I love it when the little ones wear something other than tuxedos, these outfits were so cute!

Digital Wedding Forum Convention 2012

Posted on January 30, 2012

In the 4, almost 5 years that I’ve been a photographer, I’ve gone to a few smaller workshops here and there but had never been able to make it to a larger convention. When I found out that the DWF convention was going to be in New Orleans this year, I knew I couldn’t miss it. The DWF is a forum for digital wedding photographers that I’ve been a member of for a few years now. Its a fantastic group of photographers and a great resource of information. The convention was 4 days and coincided with Imaging USA, which is another photographer’s convention that was in town. Imaging was a larger group with more classes, but there were probably thousands of photographers there and the classes were large and plentiful. Several classes went on at the same time so you had to choose which ones to attend and it stressed me out just thinking about it! I decided on the DWF because of the smaller forum and the schedule of having only one speaker at a time.

The speakers mostly talked about style, inspiration and art with a few technical tips thrown in here and there. It was an incredible experience. I met so many photographers and I can’t wait until next year (hoping that there is one!) This time around, I was a little more reserved and should have put myself out there a bit more but I tend to be a little shy around new people. I can’t bring myself to just walk up to a group of people and introduce myself and a large part of the members already knew each other. Next year, I look forward to reconnecting with the photographers I met as well as meeting lots of new ones!

The first night I was there, I got to go on a shoot with Jerry Ghionis where he showed how he works with his new Ice Light. With a couple of models, we walked all around downtown New Orleans at night – we didn’t even start until 10pm. It was so much fun and amazing to watch Jerry in action – watching photographers work is something I love, you can learn so much just from observing.

Anyway, the following images were taken pretty much over or under Jerry’s shoulder while he was working and I can’t take credit for lighting or posing. I just thought it would be fun to show what we did that night and what knowledge I hope to bring next time I have a night wedding!
