The good news……..

We are changing it to a 2 day shooting workshop for a price of 600.00!

Dates- Sept 9th we will meet for a dinner. The 10th & 11th will be actual workshop days. A possible bonus day on the 12th At David Beckstead’s house.Maybe shoot a bride under water at Davids private lake?

Here’s how it will work. Day one will be all about shooting and improving your “style”. We will have two sets of models and force you to see light differently, learn how to shoot motion, where to find shadows and reflections. Learn how to incorporate urban elements into your imagery and make them work. You will also be taught how to shoot in EVERY lighting condition and what tools you will need to do the job right. Learn how composition alone can separate you from the rest of the pros in your hood! All this plus you will go home with some amazing new sample images!

After the shoot we will all meet up and have dinner, download images and talk about the days shoot. Maybe even have a couple beers or a libation ( I love that word ) of your choice!

Day two will start with a morning critique of images. Pick 10 of your favorites and David and I will discuss them with you. This time is really for you. David and I have been shooting for years and have gone through numerous critiques with our own work and other photographers. These sessions really help you grow as a photographer and should never be taken negatively! After the critiques are completed we will then sit down for a round table discussion on the industry, marketing, pricing, branding etc. Basically come with a list of questions and David and I will share with you whatever you want to know.

At the end we all part ways as new friends, a strong network group, great memories and a new rejuvenation to go a conquer the world with your business!

If you are interested in this workshop let me know asap! We are only allowing 15 to 20 attendants and we are half way there already!

First off I need to let everyone know that I made the cover of Northwest Bride & Newlywed! Its on stands now and it is a great reasource for all your wedding needs from Seattle, Portland all the way over to Montana. So if your getting married anytime soon make sure you pick one up. Then give me a call so you can book me for your wedding!

The next big news is SWP is going to Maui! I was just commissioned for a wedding there for the 26th of September. I will be in Maui from Sept. 23rd through the 28th. It’s going to be a very small event with about 30 people for a sunset ceremony. Then we will take a short walk to the 4 season for the reception. This should be a great way to end my wedding season!

My schedule for the next 8 weeks is as follows….

July 28th Chelsea and Sams wedding at a private residence in Hayden Lake.

Aug. 2-3 I will be in Lewiston photographing some of the local pro riders

Aug. 4th I will be in Sandpoint photograph Amber and Darby’s wedding.

Aug 6-9th I will be all over the lakes in the Northwest shooting more local wakeboard pros. I would love to give you more information on this but I’m not a liberty to. So I will post some shots when I am able to.

August 10th I have Sarah & Terry’s wedding in Post Falls. This should be a great one with a lot of “alternative wedding images”. You will know what I mean when I get them posted. Should be a blast.

August 11th I have Shawna and Kevins wedding just outside of Spokane. This is a great couple with a gorgeous home location for the ceremony and reception.

August 12 through the 15th I will be in Sandpoint shooting wakeboarding. There should be a lot of pros from the Northwest showing up for this video and photo shoot. While I’m up there I’m also going to be shooting a lifestyle session. On the 15th I’m shooting a lifestyle session with the family of Buck Knives. I’m REALLY excited about this session. I’ve had a buck knife since I was 8 and to have the opertunity to photograph this family is a great honor!

August 16th – 19th I fly to San Diego California to photograph Cara & Brocks wedding.

Gust 20th through 24 is currently open and I’m hoping to stay home and get everything caught up.

August 25th Is Holly and Richards wedding in Hayden. this should be another great wedding for the SWP wedding year!

September 20 thru 23 I’m in California to shoot Alicia and Mikes in Corona Del Mar!
