Sallee Seminar

Friday evening I attended a seminar in Toronto by two wedding photographers from Texas, JB and DeEtte Sallee from Dallas. They have been winning awards for their album designs and there presentation on this was well worth the drive to Toronto. Click here to see there full web site or click here to see a promo video they have.There is always something new to learn and this is the third seminar I have attended this summer This is one of the pages I created after coming back from the seminar

This is the left and right pages of a square album. The Sallees suggest having an average of 1.3 to 1.5 pictures per page in the album The spread before this could be one picture spanning booth sides

Comming Down The Isle

I photographed a wedding last year that did something I had not seen before.
Some weddings have very young flower girls that get nervous and refuse to come down the isle This wedding had an older brother, maybe 9 years old, younger sister about 4 and one more sister about 2. The older brother dressed in his tux enters the church pulling a old fashion wagon with both sisters in it throwing flower pedals from a basket between them. From a photographic point of view it was great. From the children's point of view it was a game and fun. Those in the church loved it.

Trash The Dress

This is a new craze in the wedding photography business were the bride is photographed 2 or 3 weeks after the wedding,more like a fashion shoot then a portrait session.Photographs are done in areas you would not go to with the dress on the day of the wedding and with no time line to get to the reception etc. everything is a little less stressed I have added a link to one photographers video. It might be a bit more extreme then you are used to thinking of wedding pictures but it could be fun and generate some great pictures. The dress could also be stored in the closet for the rest of its life. You can find the link at the side of the page under Links or here http://delsolphotography.com/ttd/ttd2/
