Some San Antonio Bridal Shoot Images
I think I'm only going to share a few here for now, I'm doing some final edits on my "real sessions" from before I left so I'll quit playing around and get down to business. LOL
Part of the reason I went to San Antonio is to participate in a workshop with four leading industry leaders, they just happen to specialize in weddings. And no, Marmalade Photography isn't going to participate full on in weddings (perhaps only several times a year at most), although I enjoy it my real place is with the kids and families. I love working in the more intimate setting of a portrait session than all the celebratory mayhem that ensues around the wedding (but since I believe in never saying never I won't say I *don't* do weddings. If a client comes to me and we click and it goes well I am more than happy to venture into that sort of medium). I will say, I am not adverse to shooting engagement sessions and bridals for portraiture. I love photographing couples and the "bond" and what bride isn't STUNNING in her gown and all the glamour that coincides with that part of her life.
Kevin Kubota is truly a fantastic inspiration. His photography is breathtaking and he has an amazing way of making anyone look good. I felt oh so lucky to be able to hear him speak and participate in a bridal shoot. A special thanks to our models for that day: Lauren & Josh. I have some more images that I'll preview later (more fun & quirky stuff) that I got to shoot alongside the Boutwells (a California couple who are young, hip and real up & comers in the wedding side of our industry).
It was a pleasure to play wedding photographer for a few days and although I love photographing beautiful people in dreamy settings I truly missed the wonderful families that I get to photograph on a regular basis during my "regular gig". It's good to be back home.
