This image was taken at the Christmas House Inn and Gardens for the wedding of Cameron and Whitney by my second photographer Vanden King. They have a tree swing that always lends itself to amazing shots and I'm so happy we were able to capture this moment....

This is probably the funnest group shot I've ever taken for many reasons. One, the group was so lively and fun. Two, the background was amazing. And three, the exposure settings were so conducive to lighting the group. I can't explain why, but for some reason LDS weddings always seem to deliver on fantastic group shots. Can't wait to do more!

One of the most magical things about getting married at the Grand Tradition is the horse drawn carriage that takes the bride from the bridal suite to the ceremony. I love it every time I shoot it and I was prepared for it at this wedding where I was able to include the beautiful sun coming in through the trees as the carriage came through...

This image was taken at my wedding for Eric and Michele at the Montage Resort and Spa in Laguna Beach, California. I snuck into the plants for this shot because I wanted to incorporate the scenery into the imagery of the moment. Hope you like it!

This image was taken at my wedding at Disneyland just before the Reception. I went outside and caught Mickey and Minnie preparing to come into the Reception Hall and they sure delivered. They went right into character mode and posed for me...just a ton of fun!

Having a 1 handed lighting set up can be criticial to getting an amazing shot. As you all know I LOVE my Rotolights and when paired with my MeFoto Tripods the combination is just perfect. Many video lights are very heavy and as a result very hard to manage. The Rotolights are perfect for creating an outdoor studio environment. LOVE THESE LIGHTS!

Many times in photography we are presented with situations that are a little scary for us, where we aren’t comfortable with shooting in certain environments because we haven’t honed our skills.
Throughout the course of my career I have encountered many of these photographers during my shoots and I’ve had the opportunity to help many photographers break out of this rut at my workshops. This podcast is about making your photography different, knowing how and being prepared to shoot in any situation that is thrust at you, and assuring your client that you can give them what they seek. It’s a great feeling to know that you aren’t limited to a single type of photography and that given the circumstance you can rise to the occasion. Make your artistic decisions based on your vision, not your limitations…
"The webinars have been awesome so didn't want to miss the one for this week. It's been very helpful to see how a professional photographer utilizes LR-definitely feeling more confident using LR since attending the webinar. Thanks Jason for your time in presenting this helpful webinar!"- Pauline Blasingame

This is a production image taken at the Oklahoma workshop on Day where I'm showing the group how to use a monopod with a Rotolight attached to the end of it to put the light exactly where you want it to go. I made this little configuration back in February at WPPI which is where I found the Rotolights and the MogoPod by Carry Speed that I love.
The reason it works so well is because the MogoPod is so fast to open and close while the Rotolight is very light so it's really easy to maneuver on the end of the monopod.
I always tell my workshop attendees that one of the key lessons to learn by coming to my workshops is learning what gear you need rather than having it all by the time you come to the workshop. Saves you lots of money by not having to buy things before you see them in use at a real shoot...
