I recently had the pleasure of shooting a bridal session for Michelle in Savannah, Georgia. Michelle is an amazing person to be around so this shoot was a breeze. She took the fact that it was raining outside in stride and we decided to do the session in her hotel room. After the rain stopped, we went across the street to a parking garage for a different look.

Michelle and Ville got married this past weekend at the Mansion on Forsyth Park in Savannah so be on the lookout for their wedding photos in the coming weeks!

The wedding photography industry is constantly changing. There are always new ways of doing something that will either give you a better result or save you time. This is why I am constantly educating myself and surrounding myself with the absolute best in the industry. As with anything, the more you do something or the more you study it, the better you become at it. This translates directly into a better product that I can offer my clients.

So a couple of weeks ago, I took off to Vancouver, B.C. (this was my first trip to Canada btw) to take a seminar (or, Bebbinar as it is so aptly named) with Steve & Jen Bebb of Bebb Studios. Steve & Jen were recently named one of the top 10 wedding photographers in the world by American Photo Magazine (Click here to read the article) so learning from them was an amazing experience. We spent 3 1/2 days learning about business, photography, and how to maintain a good work-life balance while still being successful.

One of the days, we did a bridal shoot with a makeup artist named Nadia. We walked around North Vancouver and took some amazing portraits of her in her wedding dress. She had an awesome veil that added a cool mystique to the shoot.

Here are a few of my favorite images of Nadia that I took that day:

And as an added bonus, here’s a shot of me shooting Nadia taken by our super-talented friends Ral & Danelle of Rad Studio in Vancouver!
