Here are some “behind the scenes” photos, taken by our friend D.J. Ellis, one of hottest photographers in the nation, of Stephanie and the group in Seattle this past week.  D.J., you are the bomb dude!

All the gang hanging out after a long day of shooting. The next crop of "World's Best"?

Learning from Master Yoda himself, Jim Garner. "Wedding Photographer World's Best He Is"

The group being tutored on night shots

Stephanie "chillin" with her gnomies after a long day on the beautiful beach

Nuff said. "Watch out world, here they come!" (This almost looks like a promo for 'Survivor - Wedding Photographer'.)

Stephanie just sent me a few more pictures from her workshop there in beautiful Seattle, WA.  She learned a lot but Jana and I are looking forward to her return back to the studio!  Check out all the latest Wedding Photographs on our website…

What beautiful and dynamic colors in this shot, and the contrasting long white veil really leads the eye to the bride.

Stephanie really used the sunset here to capture a very romantic shot.

The birch treeline subtly brings in the white to guide your eye directly to these smooching lovebirds. Gorgeous colors.

Excellent use of a new lighting technique to get just the right amount of light on our subject without washing out the panoramic view of the Puget Sound.

Have a great weekend everyone!

On day 3, we spend quite a bit of time reviewing & retouching of Whidbey Island Images and using the tools within Photoshop CS3 (many that some didn’t know were there).  It was a very helpful session, on how to use the tools without making the pictures look over-done or air brushed.  Here are some shots of the gorgeous area around Whidbey Island…

The afternoon session was all regarding the business side of things an excellent 2 hour session on enhancing the client experience (which Tim and I believe is the most important part of any service provider!). Keep watching for more shots from the workshop.

Stay tuned.  (Yes, my brain is FULL )
