Dubrovnik Crotia, a lovely place for wedding photography.

I have been home for a couple of weeks now, and while I have been able to do some preliminary work on the holiday and workshop images, I am just now finding time to put the finishing touches on most of them.   The wedding workshop with David Beckstead and Gordon Jovic was jam packed with information, discussion and dialogue, beautiful models and best of all time for photography and for learning.

I did bring home David Beckstead’s workshop in a box, I have taken a sneak peak at some of the information and I know that it will be a great supplement and re-enforcement to all that I have learned.

Newly weds, new family……..for the wordpress weekly photo challenge: family.

I have been playing around with Karen and Jon’s wedding photos, and thought I would try something completely different.  I can’t decide if I like it or if it is completely hokey, if it is too busy, and the backgound is distracting, or adds to the “story”

I think I will have to look at it for a while, and I know that it really only matters what Karen and Jon have to say about it, I would like to hear from you as well. What do you think?

Karen and Jon – 5th anniversary of their first date!

In a wedding that truly reflected their personalities and their style Karen and Jon were married on the 5th anniversary of their first date! Karen and Jon were married at St. Patrick’s Church where Jon attends service regularly, and Karen worn her mothers wedding dress, just slightly altered.  And then there was the candy – jolly rancher candy, something they shared on their first date, and when Jon proposed to Karen he hid the ring in the candy for her to find!

I remember meeting Karen and Jon to talk about their wedding, and first hearing their story, and of these details. As they recounted them they would often look at each other and smile. These details have meaning for them, the memories and the feelings that go with these memories are part of their story, and bind them together.  May they continue to add detail, happy memories and stories like this to their life together, that is my wish for them.

Karen and Jon Wedding Kisses

There was a whole lot of kissing going on that day! most of it done by the bride and groom as we celebrated their marriage and commitment to each other.

I am getting through their photos pretty quick, but I have to admit that I fell asleep after work and didn’t get as much done as I would have liked, still feeling a little jetlagged!

I am hoping the holiday hangover doesn’t last too long!

After a week that threatened rain for their wedding Karen and Jon ended up with a beautiful sunny day for their wedding, now that I am home from holidays I am working on their photos. It was a joy to be a part of their day, and I am having fun all over again, so many great photos, so many great moments.  I am sure that for Karen, Jon and their families so many great memories. Here they stand looking over the Sirroco Golf Course, and the Foothills of Alberta, not long before they go to meet their guests at the reception.

I had such a great day at the workshop and could hardly get to sleep last night!  We spent the morning going over images from everyone, David and Gordon providing very positive and helpful information and critiquc, then we were out shooting for about 5 hrs.  As David said learning to play with light, challenging our knowledge, our gear as well as our comfort zone.  I can hardly wait to see what we do today!
