Laura & Edward's Wedding | Los Angeles Wedding Photographer

I chose Laura & Edward's wedding out of a dozen others for a contest that I held last year for a fun, unique wedding. They certainly did not disappoint! They decided to upgrade their package and as a result, they are receiving my largest gallery yet. So...many...photos! Why? Their whole day was full of action, emotion, details, and moments. There was something awesome to photograph at every turn. Not only did Laura and Ed plan an amazing wedding (with the help of their wonderful event planner, Timeless Celebrations) but they gave each and every one of us an experience to remember. I first met Laura and Ed at their engagement session, which if you haven't seen, you must check out here! They are class acts. They love to dress up and go out at least once a month and they are both trained theater performers and dancers. Laura had her dress custom made, not a surprise since care and consideration was placed on every detail throughout their day. They had their ceremony at the Rose Center Theater - the first wedding ever held there! Edward made his grand entrance by swinging onstage from a robe. I know that's probably not the technical theater term, but it was pretty awesome, whatever you call it!

Laura and Edward, I can't thank you enough for letting me be a part of your day. It's truly one that I will remember forever.

Cara & Jason | Brookside Equestrian Center Wedding Photographer

Cara and Jason were great sports. Not only we were at the Brookside Equestrian to shoot their engagement session, but also my little promo video that you can see in the post below this one :) They are getting married at the same venue this November so it was nice to walk around and see all of the beautiful locations that it has to offer. Cara and Jason are so cute together and I cannot wait for their wedding - let's just say they have a lot of fun planned!

Proud to Announce... | Behind the Scenes Photography Video!

I was honored and humbled when Clickin Moms asked me to be their April Pro of the Month. Clickin Moms is a large photography community with over 10,000 members, 70,000 Facebook fans, 2 million posts on their forums, and 350 photography tutorials. So, as you can imagine, I was trilled! Part of being the Pro of the Month is hosting what they call a "Breakout Session" - it's eLearning where you have the opportunity to teach and share what you know with the entire photography community, not just members of Clickin Moms.

Capturing Couples & Beyond - $25

I wanted to focus on what I love the most, and that is photographing couples. However, everything contained in the bundle is useful for shooting families, children, seniors, weddings, and even boudoir. It's not just all about couples. I use image examples of family sessions and discuss how to apply all of it to other types of clients.

In my Breakout Session, I include a 33 page PDF discussing how to choose great locations for your shoots, how to get a variety in your posing, how to coax out genuine expressions, and how to create relaxed images that truly represent both you and your clients. There are 32 image examples in the PDF complete with exif data (camera settings)

The part I'm most excited about is the 18 minute behind the scenes video of me shooting a couple in a small, somewhat dark location. You'll get to see how I direct them, pose them, refine the poses, coax out expressions, and I even tell you my settings while I'm shooting. You'll also see my final edited images pop up on the screen during the video so you can see the final result.

Last but certainly not least, I also include two posing guide apps (for iPhone, iPad, and Android devices) courtesy of Sticky Albums! There is also a code for 10% off if you'd like to sign up for Sticky Albums, which I'd definitely recommend.

Here is a quick little promo video that my friend Kimmie Jarrett did for me!

I think there is a lot of great information in my Breakout Session and I hope you check it out! I'd love your feedback as well, so if you've purchased it it, feel free to send reviews to bre@brethurston.com. Thanks!
