Building Trust and Nailing Client Expectations for Wedding Photographers
Why client trust and expectations are important Client trust and expectations are crucial for any business to succeed. Trust is the foundation upon which strong relationships are built, and this holds true for wedding photographers and their couples.

Revealing the Best AI-assisted Writing Tools for Photographers
Growing up, one of my favorite childhood memories was Terminator 2. It has Arnold in it, but also the whole idea of technology taking over the world was scary and interesting. Today, some people might be worried about the same thing happening. Artificial intelligence is being used everywhere. As photographers, I think it’s a good […]
Top Changes in Technology for Photography
I’ve been photographing weddings for over 15 years now (wow, I’m old), and 7 of those years have been as a full time wedding photographer. When I think back to those first years and to where we are now, I’m blown away at the advances in technology and what we can now do. The advances […]
My Experience at the 2019 Event Nation Bridal Expo

Switching over to Lightroom CC and Photoshop CC
I promised myself I’d never do it. I said I’d just stick with what I had already paid for and be happy with it. Unfortunately, it looks like I can’t stick to what I said. It looks like I’m going to be switching over to Lightroom CC and Photoshop CC. Switching over to Lightroom CC […]
First Look at the New Nikon Z7 and Z6
Like many of you, I’ve been wondering when Nikon would jump into the mirrorless world. I’ve been using Sony mirrorless cameras for about a year now, and more recently I bought the Sony A7iii.

Facebook Live Video with a DSLR or Mirrorless Camera
If you haven’t noticed, I’ve been using Facebook Live a lot lately. I’ve been doing Wednesday Wedding Tips and How I got the Shot. I like going Live because people tend to watch it more often, I get to interact with people as it happens, and I don’t have to be perfect, so making the […]
