Thanks for stopping by!

I look for interesting details of the wedding market and report on them here. I have traveled the country this year speaking with many photographers about everything from workflow to marketing... Everyone I met was willing to participate in a meaningful way to the discussion of market trends. That showed me that you are all very passionate about the business of wedding photography! I will continue to report on trends here as I see them come up in the industry. Please bookmark my blog, pass it around to friends and of course comment on what you find here! Thanks for visiting my blog, I appreciate your time! Putting together a new blog over at http://jbrides.wordpress.com/ so will be slowly transitioning to that!

LA WOMEN CREATE AERIAL IMAGE


"Thousands of us stood together at the Santa Monica Beach, north of the pier next to the Arlington West Memorial to represent the world uniting to say NO to war. Artist John Quigley created this powerful aerial image for us on a canvas so big it took a helicopter to capture it all; each time we have done this it has made the front page of the paper!"
Jodie Evans, CODEPINK Coofounder
