Elizabeth & Tyler

Recently we were treated to an informative session with some very talented photographer's Elizabeth and Tyler.  Elizabeth infuses her passion for fashion into her photography and it really enhances all her images.  She is a great wedding photographer and has been published in famous wedding photography magazines, you should check her out at her website:  http://www.elizabethinlove.com/

What I really admired about Elizabeth was her passion for what she does.  I have to admit, as a guy, some things are just a little more challenging for me to 'fall in love' with - like, women's shoes or jewellery.  Adorned and flaunted they are beautiful to photograph, but send me out to scout for them - I think I'd rather watch grass grow.  Elizabeth loves fashion, she is very trendy and hip as well.  All of these personality traits come shining through in each and every image she captures.  Her style is very dreamy, light, romantic.  She spoke much about her dream to be a fashion photographer which eventually led her to wedding photography.  It was very interesting listening to her and although our styles are different, I really appreciated hearing from her and learning from her what seemed to be so foreign and alien to me.

Tyler is also a very gifted wedding photograper, his images are extraordinary.  He comes from a technical background but takes great wedding pictures.  Please check out his website at:  http://tylerjamesphoto.com/

Tyler shared some really good insight with us on the business side of wedding photography.  His comments were very helpful and interesting.  I really appreciated the way he talked about building a relationship with your clients, and being personable and friendly.  It was also inspiring to hear him talk about how photographer's should not cave in to lowballers, and to stick with their price if that's how much they feel their worth.  I also feel like he spoke to me directly when he cautioned about spending too much money on gear - I am a big time gear head and have spent waaaaay too much on gear !
