We’re back from Mystic 5 and we had a wonderful time! We met tons of fantastic photographers, attended several seminars and consumed many, many drinks (hey, it was basically one big party)!
The days were really long and there was very little sleep to be had in between so we’re quite tired, but mostly we are inspired, motivated, and so so so excited to start our 2010 season. We’re at the Marions-Nous bridal show in Montreal this weekend (make sure to pop by our booth if you’re attending!) so we’ll be posting a few photos from that next week. Sorry it’s been a little slow on this blog of ours, we’re busy with some more boring stuff in the office (i.e. not taking photos) but we’ll be back into weddings soon enough!
In the meantime, here are some photos from the last 5 days. Warning: this post contains A LOT of photographer name dropping. You have been warned!
Sasha, Ross, and Lesya of Flosites and You + We Photography and me, checking out the blog Flosites created for us. By the way, what do you think? you like?Sasha and I had a hot pepper eat-off on our first night. He kicked my ass.The Canon vs. Nikon debate lives on. Here Daniel is getting familiar with the video features on the new Canon 7D.Vlad, sharing some footage with Stacey Doyle, which he can now use as blackmail. (Check out Vlad’s wedding photos, shot by Ben Chrisman, they are amazing!)During Mystic, we learned that photographers are pretty good singers too. Karaoke was a huge hit!Sasha explores the wonders of Nikon, this time he tries out a self portrait:John Michael Cooper (still can’t believe we got to meet him and his wife Dalisa – they are superstars!) using the computer as a lightbox to look at some negatives.We were lucky enough to spend much of our time with Dave and Quin of DQ Studios. We were huge fans of their work but we had no idea they would be such great people too! This is what we did the whole time we were together:Our fellow Montrealers, Tim and Angela, couldn’t resist eitherA huge highlight was getting Jerry Ghionis to take a portrait of us (this photo was taken by Angela). Jerry’s a huge name in the world of wedding photography so it was quite an honor!DQ got a piece of the portrait action too. Daniel took this one!The day we were supposed to be heading back home, we got a call from Ross who was in New York (waiting to catch his flight back to Moldova where he lives), and he managed to convince us to go and meet up with them. We hung out at Jason Groupp‘s studio and later had diner with Angelica Glass (LOVE her!), Southern Weddings’ Lara Casey, Jason Groupp’s Lindsey Thorne, and photographer genius Joey Lawrence, among others. We are still on a cloud from meeting all these people we admire!
This is Lara and Joey:and Lindsey:and of course Angelica who is seen here on her trusty iphone (the second most popular photographer’s tool, apparently!)the end!
