Grant and I had the great privilege of meeting up with over 40 wedding photographers in Richmond yesterday! It was a fabulous afternoon of food, networking, model shoots and a little training as well. There were all types of photographers there too...those specializing in Babies, Children, Graduates, Commercial, Sports and Weddings. We HAD A BLAST and afterwards a few of us ventured downtown further to eat at the famous Bottom's Up Pizza.
Many thanks go out to
Tisha Mccuiston for organizing this monthly event on Facebook and to
Grace Yoga Studio for allowing us a fabulous venue to meet in. Some of our models were instructors/owners and former brides themselves. They were superb and that's not easy when you've got a group of paparazzi surrounding you on all sides...cajoling you to smile and pulling you in a thousand directions. These models were amazing and not one of them complained, even in the cold and rain! I heard one of them (Lauren) even did a back flip in her dress! Amazing.
BTW, props go out to Pauline at
Elations Weddings for the gorgeous flower bouquets, and Kendra Thomas of
Confections Couture for the elegantly decorated cake.
Here are a few of my fav shots...and tomorrow, Grant will add a few from his collection.
