As promised, I'm including some of my favorites from the photo session at the Jasmine Star Workshop. This was a fun chance for me to see how Jasmine approaches shooting and interacts with her clients. Of course, with twenty photographers crowding around, many of my photos have elbows and tops of heads in them, but the experience was far greater than the photos it yielded.
It was really special to me that the models were Gabriel and Carlie of Gabriel Ryan Photographers. Not only are they amazing wedding photographers (and good lookin' models!), but Gabriel and I went to middle school and high school together, so it was a great opportunity to catch up and meet his wife. They joined us afterward for dinner and shared some of the wisdom they'd gained in the business as well as encouraged me to boldly pursue my dream.
Speaking of dinner, the entire workshop offered an opportunity to network and learn from the other photographers, but most especially at the dinner I enjoyed chatting with several of the attendees and J.D., Jasmine's wonderful husband and second shooter. I was thrilled that I was surrounded by such a diverse, friendly group of people and although I am much newer to the business than many of them, they were very kind and encouraging.
For Jasmine's far lovelier take on our day, please view her post on her blog. The beautiful flowers were by Jaclyne at Heavenly Blooms. Carlie's gorgeous dress was her own - she told me afterward that she had added the lace (an amazing idea to add a second life to your dress)!
Enjoy!
