Robert Evans and Curt Appanovich the creators of photography mentor were in San Francisco last week, for the Photo-fusion Tour. Some of you may know of Robert Evans, he shot Tom Cruise + Katie Holmes and Brad Pitt’s first wedding to Jennifer Aniston a couple of years back. Amazing! They were kind enough to ask me to do a wedding model photoshoot. Photography Mentor is a educational website for the up and coming or seasoned wedding photographer. Photography Mentor is one of the best social medias out there for wedding photographers in San San Francisco and abroad.

Jaime Dollaga is THE amazing San Francisco based model who was happy to be my bride for the day. Armando Sarabia got her do up and glammed up her make up. All of her amazing handmade jewelery was from Lindsie Jones of Haute Bride and Jose gave me the dress. Thanks everyone for the hook up.

The blog is back and I am really excited about this first post. I’m thrilled to be doing a workshop with some of my favorite east coast photo-friends, Justin and Mary Marantz.

The details:

Date: July 22nd
Location: New Haven, CT (and surrounding areas)
Investment: $700 (includes lunch)

This will be an all day workshop! We’ll start in the morning with some seminars, break for lunch, do a killer on location shoot with our models (that should make for some pretty amazing portfolio pieces) and then come back to show you all of our post processing magic.

Some of the topics to be covered during the day are:

Who are you? The core of your business
What do you want? Defining your path to success.
Where do you want to go? Setting goals
What is important to you? Striking a balance
The magic of thinking Big
The power of Momentum
Finding and creating a niche market
Be a Lovemark: the future beyond brands
Creating Loyalty Beyond Reason: The customer experience from start to finish
Creating value
Developing a signature style
Coming out of non-exsistance - getting your name out there
The Triangle Offense of Marketing: Clients, Vendors, Other Photographers
Getting published and profiled
Destinations weddings
Giving value first and Creating rich relationships
and so much more…

I feel in Love with Conneticut about 4 years ago and have been fortunate enough to shoot some weddings out there. I am thrilled to be returning, hanging with friends and meeting some new ones. So I would LOVE it if you guys could be there too!! Plus, I am definitely hitting up Pepe’s Pizza. My buddy Harvey Goldstien introduced me to Pepe’s. Ever since, I have compared every slice to it. Hands down Pepe’s is the best pizza in the nation. IMHO.

The workshop will be launching at 9am (EST) on Monday morning and seating is VERY limited. To keep the group intimate and be able to give personal attention to every attendee, we will only be accepting the first 20 people who sign up. So make sure to set those iPhone alarms, so you don’t miss out!  Feel free to email me if you have any questions at gene@genehiga.com.
