If there is one company that knows pretty, pretty paper goods inside and out, it’s Hello!Lucky. Not only is each and every piece coming out of their San Francisco studio insanely beautiful but they happen to  specialize in unique, creative wedding invitations using gorgeous letterpress and digital print methods on thick cotton papers.

Get inspired and craft a new approach to wedding photography in a two day workshop led by two leading industry photographers, one based in the Rocky Mountains (Carrie) and the other in our Nation’s Capitol (Kate). Special guests Richard Photo Lab, Ritzy Bee Events and Simplesong Design join the discussion.

Get excited for the 2011 wedding season with a hands-on workshop on the business of wedding photography and becoming a better film and digital photographer. Small group work, branding critiques and shooting exercises will compliment Carrie and Kate’s open book presentations on their experiences building a business, building a brand, getting published and blending film and digital photography. Hear expert advice on shooting film (Richard Photo Lab), building relationships within your industry (Ritzy Bee Events) and fine tuning your brand (Simplesong Design).

“My shooting style is a mix of documentary journalism, editorial lifestyle, and fine-art photography. I capture the story of the day through images full of beauty and emotion, and deliver them as individually hand-worked images and fine-art albums. What I provide is not just wedding images, but fine-art imagery that you will be proud to pass on to future generations.”

In 2011 Matt will be offering service in the Jackson Hole and Teton Valleys, as well as in the Texas Hill Country surrounding Austin. Before Matt landed in Austin and Jackson Hole, he was a staff photographer for the Tampa Bay Rays Major League Baseball team. Matt has also lived in the Florida Keys and Southwest Alaska where he worked as an editorial photographer and fly fishing guide.

Board #373: Romance in the Rockies

A rustic, quaint log chapel, a bride in cowboy boots, horseshoes, s’mores, and a mechanical bull – all perfect elements for a wedding in Wyoming. And how about a boutonniere made from a hand-tied fly? Incorporate wild grasses into your bouquets and centerpieces, and wrap vases with birch bark, or maybe use vintage fishing creels in lieu of vases.

Mood: summer in the mountains
Palette: barnwood, wild grass, aspen
