With the difficult economy on our hands, for brides and grooms planning a wedding can be quite stressful and even discouraging.  I can only imagine how disappointing it can be when you want the perfect dress but the wallet says, “No can do sister girl!”  More and more brides are trying to find creative ways to save and still have the wedding of their dreams.  Now is the time to speak up for what you want.  There is more negotiating power than there ever was before.  Don’t be afraid to ask for what you want, you never know what great things might come your way if you do.

I will try to post some “money savers” from time to time so check back to see if there is anything that might grab your attention.  Whether it is about saving for a wedding or just money saving tips in general, I will be more than happy to share with you all any ideas that come my way.

Pictage User Group (PUG) Hosts Denis Reggie!

Last night a bunch of us photographers were in such great company with famous and highly talented photographer, Denis Reggie.  Denis Reggie has photographed so many celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, Mariah Carey, JFK Junior’s wedding, NBC Real Weddings, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s wedding and SO MUCH MORE.  He is the Grandfather of REAL wedding photojournalism.  There was a great turn out of many photographers that the energy in the room was so alive, fun, and playful that it truly was one of the best workshops I have been to!

Thank you Scarlett, for hosting a great PUG meeting!  We all really learned a lot from Denis and had such a great time!

(photos below were taken by Scarlett Lillian)

The first photo of Scarlett, Denis made me take it the way I normally take the photo, then he grabbed my camera made some adjustments and took the photo using his “foofing” lighting technique.  Which one do you like better?

jjj 

Denis taking a photo of me using his foo foo technique with some minor adjustments… you can see how there are shadows to the right of me when facing this photo thus creating a little depth.  This photo is only lightly “foofed”.  Below you will see images that have been fully “foofed”.

“Foofing” helps to thin out arms and since it’s so hard to photograph people where their arms don’t look “fat”, Denis explained how foofooing gives the image DEPTH thus creating shadows that assist in flattering the arms in a photo.

Lastly, I just had to share this image that Denis showed us… it truly took my breath away!

Super Rad Website!

I once was asked by a website designer, “Darice can you tell me ONE website you’ve ever seen and thought, WOW now that is a website!” To my surprise I couldn’t say that I could think of even ONE website that was that fantastic! Yet….

I found one today that blew my mind! It’s so unique, different and super fun to look at! I thought I would share it all with you and hope that it will be just as pleasing to your eyes as it was to me. The photography is way too cool!

The “lounge” under FAVORITES is my favorite page… Enjoy…….!
