I am currently in D.C. & am going to attend The Event by Justin & Mary today. I couldn’t think of a better way to blog the second part to my time learning from them at the Walk Through A Wedding workshop in November then when I am stepping out into the winter weather, finally, to learn from them again & 10 other talented speakers!

I fell in love with this dress from Studio I Do & this flower crown from Isha Foss! The creative team that Justin & Mary selected outdid themselves again, on day two of the workshop! It started to rain & I loved that Justin thought quick on his feet & used an umbrella for a light as an umbrella for the models. Then he alternated from that to using it as a reflector while Mary photographed portraits. I’m sure this was barely a hiccup in the day for them but it was humbling to see that us as wedding photographers face the same hiccups & the same curveballs that can be thrown at us during a wedding day. They adjusted & then flawlessly hit a home-run. I hope 2016 brings us all infinite home-runs! Here is a look back at my portraits from Day Two of the Walk Through A Wedding! Thank you again Justin & Mary!
