Yesterday, I had the privilege of going to a seminar with two of the ‘Top Dogs’ in the industry and it absolutely rocked! Joe Buissink and Yervant were the two photographers and all I can say, is……WOO HOO! It was absolutely inspirational and it is things like this that make me love what I do more and more. If you can go to Two Views….GO!!!!
For you non-photographers out there, Joe has photographed many, many weddings, including Jessica and Nick, Brendan Fraser, Jennifer Lopez, Jenny Garth, Christina Applegate, Hillary Swank, Kelsey Grammar, and Christina Aguilera just to name a few. Joe is one of the people I have admired through my venture as a photographer and notice, I say people, not photographer, because I truly mean that…he is just one of those amazingly good people. I teared up twice watching slide shows of some of his imagery as well as a third time listening to him speak. So much of what he said, I agree with wholeheartedly or implement in my business and relationships. I could go on and on about my thoughts on Joe. Thank you Joe!
Yervant was in many ways very different from Joe, but he rocked as well. Yervant is a photographer based in Australia and has so much energy and focus on what he does. His imagery and approach is very unique, but naturally stunning and passionate. He speaks with such conviction…no wonder he shoots so many weddings!
The two together, were so natural, it was almost eery. They are different in so many ways, but their passion is what brings them together. I feel honored to not just have met and listened to them speak individually, but as a duo as well. Please, check out their work if you are unfamiliar with it, it will take your breath away.
A few images from the day, but it was really to learn, not to photograph…

Every photographer chimps…at least a little bit anyways…
