Our Memorial Day “Recharge at Rancho” workshop at beautiful Rancho Las Lomas, one of our favorite venues, was a blast! Thank you Rancho, we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect setting. We had a great time with a fabulous group of photographers. Our friends and partners’ help were very much appreciated! Caren and Lauren of Design Visage did the beautiful make up for our models who wore beautiful couture gowns from Mon Amie. Shawna brought us the gowns herself and helped our models get ready. Friar Tux provided the sharp tuxedos for the guys and French Buckets made up an outstanding table and provided the bouquets and boutonnieres. The incredible table decor will be featured in next year’s Ceremony Magazine and in the California Wedding Wave. And speaking of Ceremony Magazine, a big thank you for all their help! They were an integral part connecting us with our team. Of course, as always, no one went hungry! 24 Carrots put out a beautiful and delicious spread.
We really appreciate the support from our sponsors, listed to the right, who consistently provide added value to our workshops. They provided lots of giveaways and discounts for all our photographers! We use their products every day and couldn’t deliver our high level of quality and customer service without them. Feel free to click on their logos for more information on their products and services. Use our “codes” for discounts.
A big, big THANK YOU! to our fantastic models; first, our solo bride, Kristin Keating, the next couple is Samantha Hart and Kameron Hart and our last couple is Alexander and Carolina Matar our real newlyweds… They all did a great job and put up with 30 photographers for over 3 hours. Here are some of our favorite images. We can’t wait to share them with our models and hope all our photographers do the same! I know they would really appreciate it!
Here’s the whole crew! Except for Joe… Someone had to take the picture. Corina Shauntele from Pixel2Canvas is in there too. She provided us with several canvas wraps from P2C for a few lucky photographers as well as discounts for everyone. Thanks Corina!
