We discuss the least favorite part about the wedding day and turn that into an opportunity to learn how to shot that subject better.

 

Triathlete Magazine shoot, same approach as a wedding portrait. See the example at http://www.rhinebeckphotographer.com

 

Setting goals after the wedding season, for example update website or learning a new skill like off camera lighting.

 

Favorite thing to shoot is the portrait session after the ceremony.

Talk about the emotions behind a first look session versus post ceremony

 

All about cocktail hour and diving that time up between shooting and actually taking a break

 

Networking with other photographers and deciding to be an open book to help out each other is the healthiest way to look at this business.  They’re not competition, but colleagues.

 

How we crossed paths for the first time at Hunter Mountain.  This time I was doing video while Diane shot stills.

 

Selling all Canon gear and switching to Nikon!

Playing around with Nikon at Mystic Seminars.

Ergonomics plays a big role
