Free to Succeed Tour: Boston

This past Tuesday night I was lucky enough to join many of my photographer friends for the Free To Succeed Tour in downtown Boston. The three headliners on the tour just happened to be the three photographers that I admire most in the wedding industry...David Jay, Jasmine Star, and Becker. And I felt blessed to meet them all on the same night!

David Jay gave us insight as to how an efficient workflow can can help "free" up your life. Jasmine spoke about how determination and properly branding your business can lead to much success. And Becker gave us all a sneak preview of the [b]school...which will be a social and profesional networking website for photographers.

Brides.com Event

Linnea and I attended the Brides.com vendor event last night at the Artists for Humanity Center in Boston. Actually Linnea was the event planner for the whole soiree and she worked with Brides.com to create an AMAZING night. From the delicious food, to the martini bars, to the white lounge furniture and pink lighting, everything was spectacular. Plus I got to hang out with a few of my fun photographer friends and we had a great time! Not a bad way to spend a Tuesday evening!

Some of the attendees were:
Tangorra Wedding Planning
Jenny's Wedding Cakes

Ovedia Artisan Chocolates
Silpada Jewelry by Jennifer Boyan
Envelope the Moment

May PUG

All the regulars (by regulars I mean the best wedding photographers in Boston) got together on Tuesday night for the May Pictage User Group meeting. Photographer Daniel Doke spoke on his philosophies of business and shooting and showed us some of his amazing work. It was inspirational to see how his small business has taken-off into the stratosphere!





As you can see, Dan asked the Feds (James and Kate) to model so he could demonstrate how he makes a couple feel comfortable and laugh for the camera. Looks like it worked!

NYC Bridal Show

Linnea and I made a quick trip down and back to New York City on Monday for the Wedding Salon's Bridal Show at Gotham Hall.

Gotham Hall is a seven-story ballroom, with an amazing three hundred-foot wide stained glass skylight, a huge gilded chandelier, Corithian columns, and marble floors. It's really an awe-inspiring space. The show was a who's who of New York's wedding vendors and showcased some of the best ideas and products for high-end brides.

Of course, on the the way out of the city I had to make a quick pit-stop at one of the best (yet decidedly non-high-end) hot dog joints in the city... Gray's Papaya. Although I've always been partial to the original, Papaya King, sometimes you just gotta go with what's convenient. For those of you that have never partaken, these "Papaya" places serve fruit smoothie's and hot dogs... which might seem like an odd combination, but you gotta try it! :)

David Wells Workshop

Saturday I attended the David Wells workshop on Copyright & Stock Photography for Professional Photographers at the Harvard Club in Boston. I actually won my entry at last month's PUG meeting and I'm really glad I did!

David is an incredibly accomplished photographer who has made some incredible images during his long freelance career. He shared his philosophies on the importance of registering ALL of your images with the Library of Congress and the benefits of setting up your workflow to automatically track the process. He also gave us great insight into the world of Stock Photography and how it could be a profitable addition to our businesses.

Thanks to Matt Grazier for organizing the workshop. And it was great meeting a few new friends during the day too...check out their sites: Megan Marascalo, Michael Blanchard, and Tara Morris & Ben Wight.

April PUG

The April PUG (Pictage User Group) meeting was blast . About 25 photographers gathered at beautiful St. Peter's Church in Southie Tuesday night to try out some new shooting techniques and share some tips and tricks. There were a lot of flashes going off, but the majority of the time was used to catch up with old friends, meet some new ones, and enjoy each other's company.

Captivated by the Light

...or maybe not so much.

Me, James and Kate Federico, Tony and Anna Yu, Brittany Blando, and Maureen Ford all headed over to the Captivated by the Light seminar put on by Ed Pierce in Woburn last night. The content was good, but I think we all had much more fun just hanging out with each other. :) James took a cool group shot that I'll hopefully post here soon. The April PUG meeting is tomorrow and the fun will continue.

Boston PUG

We all had a great time at the Boston PUG (Pictage User Group) meeting last night! Yet again, Enna and Matt Grazier were wonderful hosts and they gave away some amazing prizes. I actually won a free spot at David H. Wells' workshop on Copyright and Stock Photography Workflow! {Hey Matt...I'm psyched and I'll see you there!}

And the always-fantastic Eric Laurits was the featured speaker of the night. He first presented some of his inspiring and emotional images & then gave us a great walk-thru of his new ShootQ workflow. {Nice work :e:!} ShootQ is really going to help photographers get back to doing what they love most... making amazing images and building relationships with their brides and grooms.

Mike Colon & Bob Davis

It was quite an experience spending the entire day with Mike Colon and Bob Davis! Not only are they considered two of best photographers in the world, but they're also the most down-to-earth and genuinely giving guys you'll ever meet.

During the Master Your Craft seminar yesterday they shared everything from image capture techniques, strobe flash methods, and marketing and branding strategies. And I was lucky enough to spend some one-on-one time with each of them! It was an invaluable experience that I will hold onto for a very long time.....

And thanks to the very cool Kenny Kim for grabbing my camera and shooting me, Bob, and Mike! There's more great shots over on his blog.

Looking forward to...

I'm SO looking forward to meeting the legendary Mike Colon and Bob Davis tomorrow at the Master Your Craft seminar in Hartford! 

Bob recently shot Eva Longoria's wedding and Mike is considered one of the pioneers of modern wedding photography. He was one of the first wedding photographers to develop an all-digital workflow and he travels the world sharing his latest techniques and marketing strategies. He is a strong believer in a new era of wedding photography in which photographers share knowledge with each other. And we are ALL grateful!
