Every quarter a number of vendors and I get together and create some magic. This time around we invited a number of other photographers to join in on the fun.  It was a total success and a great day to build wedding portfolios with some beautifulness. I left being inspired by our bride models, by other photographers and itching to plan the next shootout!

Enjoy.

So you have my view of the styled shoot – wonder what other photographers thought? Here you go…

C. Wagner Photography & Design – “What I found even more exceptional was that – it never felt like a competition with the other 11 photographers. Everyone was nice and open. We all kept saying sorry and excuse me when we needed another angle or accidentally jumped in someone else’s frame. Everyone directed couples and didn’t mind others utilizing their direction and so forth. No one seemed guarded. Shy at first, sure. It was great to have preconceived notions erased – the perception that each of us is a competition and that we need to guard ourselves in case of – insert worst case scenario fear here. It felt more like a team and a co-operative. I liked that a lot. I would definitely recommend Hazy Lane‘s styled shoots and would jump at the next opportunity if she ever does a workshop or another styled session.”
