Photobooths = Wedding vendor networking

Okay one more post in 2012.

In the land of weddings, it’s important to get to know other vendors and other photographers. They become referral sources (we can all only work one event on a Saturday, so once we’re booked, we have to pass those people on). And because the wedding world is, honestly, such a funloving, happy place, much of our networking involves basically partying. Thankfully, at our monthly meetups, there is always a photobooth to document the occasion. Here are the photobooth printouts I saved from a year’s worth of networking. Enjoy, if you can call it that.

You really must forgive some of these scans. I don’t have an expensive do-it-all scanner thing – just a portable guy that can be somewhat temperamental.

  

And, finally, the coup de grace – where Jonathan asked the photobooth dude what the record was for total number of people in the booth at any one time. We beat it.  Read more... (185 words, 11 images, estimated 44 secs reading time)

2012 Year in Review – One

Ah, 2012 (here’s 2011). What a crazy year, the one George keeps referring to as “the best in our lives.” Seems pretty premature to put that label on it, but by all accounts, it has certainly been the best year yet. I’ve got my eye on 2013, though, don’t you worry. Without too much musing, I’m going to move right on into the images. There are a lot, so go grab a cup of coffee and come back and take a walk through the last year with me. What follows are a set of images – one for each session I photographed in 2012. No personal work, no second shooting and one choice I made just now mostly through gut – not necessarily my favorite, just the one that caught my eye, just now. My 2012, in order:
