Film has turned me into a client. We get spoiled being able to see the images as we take them. You the client may get to see a few on the back of the camera but the anticipation builds as you wait for your images. Well since starting to shoot film again for more than personal projects we have become the client again waiting for those images to come back to the studio. If you are looking for a photographer that can shoot film in denver colorado for your wedding please let us know. If you are already a client and like the look of these film images just ask us to shoot some at your wedding. We have added packages with half the coverage, one of us shooting just film, if you are interested in those please make sure to give us a call. If you are wondering what you are going to do with film don’t worry. We receive digital scans of our images and those are available for purchase just like our digital files.
For all those photographers wondering what this was taken with. Contax 645 and 80mm Zeiss @2.0
A few days ago we showed you our office. That created a few more questions lol. David wrote ” what is the picture in the corner it’s pretty small”. It is a 5×7 tintype of a brides wedding shoes. Wet platers also call these ferrotype’s because they are a positive image on tin or similar metal. If these were a negative and done on glass they would be called an ambrotype. A small known fact is that ambrotype comes from the greek ambrotos which means immortal. I surely feel that when looking at old collodion wet plate images. They have an enduring.. timeless quality. The process dates back to the 1860′s. We used a lense that dates back to 1908 for an authentic petzval look. You can see the video of the collodion wet plate process here. This is available to current and old brides as well. You can drop off your wedding day details to the studio to have them taken in this process. If you are interested give us a call and we can discuss.
We just got the contract yesterday for speaking for the third year at WPPI. It is always a pleasure and an honor to be chosen to speak at WPPI. For brides a little background on WPPI. They are the largest wedding and portrait convention, competition and trade show in the world. Last year the convention had over 12,000 photographers from around the world. Its a great time for professionals to get inspiration for the next year, new products and offerings for their clients. There are classes on everything from SEO to how to sell portraits. Last year was amazing, do to the hard work and dedication of the WPPI staff. I really want to thank you WPPI and can’t wait to see what you have in store for us at WPPI 2011.
I will share more information as everything comes together about the time, and subject matter. We can’t wait to see you there.
I just finished working on a beautiful wedding that was shot at Donovan’s Pavilion in Vail. Donovan’s Pavilion was built in 2003 and is a timber and stone mountain lodge. We had 4 weddings there last year and I can say we love to photograph weddings in vail at Donovan’s Pavilion. This wedding was inside but most of the weddings take place on the back patio which overlooks the woods and river. Both places are beautiful . I wanted to share this image because it was so colorful and I know a lot of you brides are planning your weddings for 2011 right now. If you are doing a winter wedding and want a beautiful place with great service check out Donovans Pavilion. We will share more pictures from this wedding soon. As you can see the decor was a lot of fun and so is the pictures.
