2 for 1 : Why a Blog? – Why Formals?
Written on November 16, 2009 Posted in Formals (Pre-wedding Portraits)Using pictures from the last wedding shoot, I answer two questions. Why do I have a photo-blog? and Why are pre-wedding pictures (formals) so great.

Great post. Though it can be fun to document the wedding, these formals are really awesome. (And thank you for not calling them groomals, haha. Such a weird sounding name).
Great images, I’ve no doubt your clients are thrilled with what you produce. I feel like I do see some of that improvement you talk about making, and I haven’t been following you for terribly long. And it looks like you’re branching out a bit with your processing (either that or you’re just showing more of the stylized ones than usual). Either way– great stuff!
A 2 day weekend workshop and 2 Lightroom classes all in the same powerful and informative week.

WOW Scott! These are great – the colors are beautiful. I love the one of the bride at the gate and the one of them on the bridge. They are all awesome though.
-
Great shots! I love La Caille, I used live very close and pass by every day.
Do they charge you to shoot photos there?
-
These shots are so elegant. I love the location and the colors.
-
I love that shot with her standing by those rustic doors- very very beautiful!
-
I have never had the chance to shoot there, and it looks AMAZING. I too love the one with her in front of the doors. Stunning.

Nice locale! Any chance they had some cool couches for sale at said antique store? I’m on the lookout for one…
-
Where was this antique store? I’ve been dying to know.
-
It’s in Orem.
I can’t remember the name anymore.
It’s on state street.With any place like this… the best strategy is to get on the owners good side and make sure to not burn bridges so the owners don’t have bad experiences with photographers so… they are more open to future photographers.

What a cute couple- and such a fun spot for pictures. Love the variety. JaG

Yes, I’ll come, and try to have $6 for pizza & floats plus $5 more to pay Dougie back, since he ended up buying all the gas for our Eureka trip.
It looks like I’m not an ignoramus after all; the writer on my Mac doesn’t work. Perhaps I CAN be taught Lightroom!

THE SEARCH
I have commenced a long process of searching for all photographers.
I am starting with Utah and focusing on Wedding Photographers
My database so far for Utah is 300+ Photographers, 100 Californian Photographers, 75 Colorado 50NY
A Mega-Database
I am storing lots of information for each photographer, most importantly a link to their site.
Eventually I will share this information on a massive informational website… kinda like a price/product comparison site.


It was fun getting real time tweets from your session!
