Yvette and Carlos had their engagement session at Baker Beach in San Francisco. It wasn’t foggy and we had a view of the Golden Gate Bridge so that was good. However, it started drizzling and eventually rained, which caught us by surprise. Of course the weather was not going to stop us from getting plenty of images to show their love for each other.
Last month, I went to New Orleans for the SWPB (Starting A Wedding Photography Business) Flickr Group Workshop. SWPB is a Flickr group that comprises of wedding photographers that share their work, feedback, comments, discussions, etc. It was a two day workshop camp where we met up in New Orleans. Everyone stayed at the same hotel, and basically hung out and talked shop for a couple days. Thanks to Christine Tremoulet and Laura Burlton for organizing. We had about 20 people from all over drive and fly into New Orleans, although majority were from Texas. The first day consisted of Amazon Photographer blogger and WPJA photographer of the year 2008, Ryan Brenizer speaking about his business, tips and tricks, and some demos. The evening consisted of a mockup photoshoot with two couples. The second day was more of a chill day but we also managed to get one of the photographers, the beautiful Lynette to model a wedding dress for everyone else to shoot. It was great hanging out with photographers from other cities while eating awesome Southern Cooking and Seafood. If anyone is ever in New Orleans, Fiorella’s Cafe has the best Southern Fried Chicken that we have ever had!
We managed to experience a very interesting rain thunderstorm while walking around in the French Quarter
