PUBLISHED – Valentine’s Proposal Featured on 100 Layer Cake

In January, I found myself in Malibu, California for a very special purpose. Sure, I was escaping the cold weather, but I was also attending Caroline Tran’s Propel Workshop. Think of it as 10 photographers living, working, and shooting together for four days. It’s completely amazing. As part of the workshop, we did a very special Valentine’s Day themed proposal with Merrill & Tim. Today, I’m thrilled to announce that the session has been featured on 100 Layer Cake!

The feature includes photos from numerous amazing photographers, and some of my own. I’d like to offer a special thanks to Amanda and the group at 100 Layer Cake. Also, huge thanks to Wilmarose Orlanes of Lovely Jubilee. She styled the session and did an amazing job. Also, thanks to Caroline Tran and the team from Skybox Events. Caroline lead a wonderful workshop and it was all organized by Ngoc at Skybox.

I’ll have more coverage from the workshop coming soon, and many more images to share. For now, enjoy a couple highlights below. For complete details and more photos from the session, check out this separate post.

PUBLISHED – The Wedding Photographer’s Tour of PhotoShelter

I’m fresh back from a whirlwind workshop in southern California with some great news to share. First, the photography workshop I attended was absolutely amazing, but more on that later. My most exciting news today is that again I have been featured by PhotoShelter, a photographer services company. As always, I am thrilled with the opportunity to share my work with other photographers.

This time around, PhotoShelter has published a wedding photographer’s guide to the PhotoShelter services. While the guide is specific to PhotoShelter, it does contain many helpful tidbits for any wedding photographer. For example, the feature about Hunter Photographic discusses why handling each print order personally is important. As you may know, my clients and their family can easily order prints online. What you may not know is that I handle each order personally. Instead of the orders going out to some giant print lab, I handle each print order with care. This allows me to make sure each wedding print is perfect and that the packaging is just right.

Definitely have a look at PhotoShelter’s new guide and what they have to say about our client-friendly services. You can get your copy here.

VIDEO – VSCO Film with Custom Settings

Previously I published a video overview of the new VSCO Film preset package for Lightroom. The video got a great response, and thank you everyone for watching. Since that time, a new version of Lightroom and VSCO have been released. In the original video overview, I mentioned a couple key points about VSCO Film that I didn’t like, one being that it affects sharpening settings. I also noted an easy solution to this problem. Since that time, viewers have asked for a follow-up video demonstrating the solution.

So today we have a brief follow-up video which demonstrates how to mix VSCO Film presets with your own custom settings in Lightroom. In essence, we create a new preset after applying our favorite VSCO film emulsion and tweaking to match our desires. Creating a custom preset tailored to your style and workflow will help to reduce the time you spend editing, and get you back to shooting.

So that was my Sunday – quickly followed by a beer. I hope everyone enjoyed the video. Looking forward, the next item on my list is a post about VSCO recipes that I use. In essence, it will be a post showing example photos and the settings I used to create them. That’s all for today. Definitely stop back soon as I will have a lot more content coming quickly.
