Awaiting Winter in Crested Butte

I am looking forward to this Winter Season in Crested Butte. I am planning on doing a 365 days of shooting starting with the first of the year. But before that I will be focusing my time on the inAWE Gallery at 326 Elk Ave and my wedding photography. This weekend I will be at the Holiday Bazaar shooting Mini-Portraits. Happy Holidays!

Wedding Photography Tip #3

Wedding Photography in Crested Butte Tip #3

I love my 28-70mm lens. I use it a ton when shooting weddings. I also rely on my fisheye and 70-200mm lens. This was shot with my 28-70, although and fisheye would have captured more of the background. The nice thing about the 28-70mm is it gives you the opportunity to be close to your subjects and interact with them, make them feel comfortable or direct them where to stand, but it also gives you the ability to zoom in when close or be a little farther away. It really works as a basic wide to short zoom which I find I use a lot, especially when they are walking down the isle. I can get the wider shot with maybe bridesmaids in front and the bride waiting behind them or the closer shot of the groom waiting at the front of the isle. It is always nice to have a 50mm or lensbaby for the fun close up, detail shots. But you can get good depth of field with the 28-70mm for those shots as well. Or use your zoom for a good blurred background. Just don't set your aperture too low for larger group shots, that back row will be blurry!

Wedding Photography in Crested Butte Tip #2




I am learning so much from the CreativeLive Wedding Boot camp. One great tip is to meet your client in person to discuss your pricing. Don't just email them a pricing list. I have done so for all of my weddings and potential clients and although I have booked weddings by doing this I have also noticed there are many potential clients that once I set them this pricing list I never heard from them again. I did not give myself the opportunity to sell my personality because I only communicated via email. And although I live in a very remote area where most of my brides are coming from far and wide, you can Skype with them! I am definitely going to implement this into my future wedding work. Thanks Sal!
