We talked about the Thirst Relief mentor auction last week and what a great cause it is. I was floored to learn how many people go without clean water and how much this organization helps. Well it’s finally live and you can bid on us as well as some really awesome photographers.
We are donating of course our time but also a lunch with us, paid for by us. We can talk about anything you want to know. On top of lunch we are also offering a One Day- private Woodshop. We will custom tailor the instruction to exactly what you want. Want to go out and do a shoot? Learn studio lighting. This is for you and one other person if they are from the same studio. So free lunch + (800.00) Woodshop.
You can find the ebay auctions http://thirstrelief.shootq.com/join.php
Happy Bidding,
Andy and Angie Wood
Our friends Lauren Hillary and Sara France have a wonderful bag line for photographers that we wanted to share. There is a womens version and a mans version since we know that they have different needs. The Card Holster has 8 card compartments and the Hip Clutch for the women has 12. They are super stylish, and something that the photography companies have overlooked. Not everyone wants something that plain-black made with backpack material. If you want more information you can get it on the GO|BEE bags website. When we were in Nashville these things were flying out of their booth.
Lauren was nice enough to give us a code to share with you. Maybe it will save you a few bucks and you can go out to dinner.

As I promised the rest of Kelseys Bridal Session. We had a lot of fun and got a lot of different looks from moody to elegant. Some of the shots were done inside our studio, and others were done just outside with available light. Kelsey brought some fun red shoes which you can see in the photo’s and they made for some cool shots. You can see the rest of the colorado bridal session photos here.
Photographers- We will be doing a Class at Professional Photographers of Colorado on April 11th. We will be talking about how we do these bridals from the gear we use to how we light them. If you are interested, if you leave us a comment we will send over more information when it is launched by PPOfC. Or you can go sign up, and join all the fun and support your local chapter of PPA.
Every invitation we issue represents a consensus among peers that a given photographer ranks among the best in the world.
“BestofWeddingPhotography”
In the post ” Top 350 Wedding Photographers in the World“, I talked about a new organization that had been formed. We received this email a few months ago. The website looks great and we can’t wait to see what happens, it looks like a great resource for brides. Especially those looking for a high caliber wedding photographer for a destination wedding. Congratulations to the other Colorado Photographers on the list Autumn Burke Photography, Otto Schulze, Grant Oakes, Kern-Photo.
Andy and Angie Wood,
Hello. Im the Executive Director of Best of Wedding Photography, a new invitation-only membership group being launched by some of the leading wedding photographers in the world. Im writing to offer your studio an invitation to become a founding member of the organization. You’ve achieved that terrific combination of great branding around A&A Photography and fresh, modern imagery that distinguishes the best work in the field today. We would be honored to count you as members.
This invitation comes after a very rigorous review process by our Board, which includes some of the best wedding photographers in the world: David Beckstead, Ben Chrisman, Del Sol Photography (Matt Adcock and Sol Tamargo), Glen Johnson, Anna Kuperberg, Crash Taylor, and David Ziser. Our board has personally reviewed your work, decided that you rank among the best in the world, and voted to offer you this invitation.
We started with a highly-screened list of nearly 5,000 photographers. Of those, we are now inviting just 350 photographers from around the world. You will become part of a new group that has the potential to dramatically change the face of the wedding photography industry.
I’ve included details about Best of Wedding Photography and the invitation below (also attached as a PDF for your convenience).
Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions.

Every invitation we issue represents a consensus among peers that a given photographer ranks among the best in the world.
In addition to representing the best photographers in the world, we offer an endless stream of incredible imagery on the Best of Wedding Photography blog, featuring the work of BOWP photographers – one blog with a snapshot of the most innovative photographic work being produced in the wedding photography world. It’s be a beautiful thing.
