Paul Morse speaks at Professional Photographers of America

February 19, 2010 – 6:50 am

Paul Morse, a close friend of ours and former White House photographer for 7 years spoke recently at the Nashville PPA convention. Of course we went to support our good friend and we were blown away by the evening event. There were over 1,000  chairs set up in the ballroom and the sponsor, White House Custom Color hired Bill Clinton and George W Bush impersonators to entertain the crowd prior to the talk. They had made cakes with some of Paul’s images on them and they handed out ice cream bars as people walked in. It was a well planned event to say the least. Paul spoke with another former White House photographer and an Associated Press photographer and they all were able to showcase their work. My favorite of course was Paul’s photo of the President riding his bike on the South lawn of the White House. Chris and I were so proud of Paul and you can see his work at paulmorse.com. Paul is also showcased in a new book highlighting President Obama’s inauguration weekend which is just great. Here are a few shots from the event.

Travel

January 6, 2010 – 9:01 am

Chris and I will begin this new year traveling to the Music City for the Digital Wedding Forum convention and the Imaging USA expo. Education is a very important part of owning a photography studio and we take the time and resources to make sure we are staying current on all the trends for 2010. We will also be traveling to Vegas (baby) for the annual Wedding and Portrait Photographers convention and attending Inspire Boston. Lots of learning is going on in this off season so we can be the best we can be this year. Chris is also in the process of building a super cool photobooth that will be available for all 2010 weddings and events, photos to come. picture-4.jpg

Destination wedding in Cape May

January 1, 2010 – 9:27 am

Way back in October we photographed Jean and Brandon’s seaside wedding in the lovely town of Cape May, NJ. Jean and Brandon were guests at Erica and Gunner’s wedding here in Kennebunkport and when they asked us to come to Cape May to photograph their wedding we were so excited. Chris and I have never been to that area of New Jersey and it was really beautiful. The Congress Hall where the ceremony and reception took place was a grand historic hotel that was a perfect backdrop to their events. We arrived the day before and were able to capture their rehearsal on the lawn and attend their dinner that evening. Brandon has three children who were really fun and together with Jean they make a great family, we tried to take a lot of family shots of them together. We also met some wonderful people and enjoyed reconnecting with old friends Erica, Gunner and their new son. We were not able to stay for the entire weekend as we had to leave after their reception and travel directly to Martha’s Vineyard for Amrita and Steve’s wedding, which is blogged below. I chose a few to highlight here and there are many more on our website under destination weddings.

Martha’s Vineyard wedding

December 28, 2009 – 5:27 pm

Amrita and Steve chose to get married on Martha’s Vineyard with just their immediate family and it was just incredible. Steve’s Aunt was the officiant which made it even more special. The Harborview Hotel was the perfect venue for such an intimate affair and had a great gazebo for the actual ceremony. I have actually added many more from this wedding to the destination section of our website, www.casmithphotography.com. It was hard to narrow down my favorites to those here because I loved so many of them.

Dave and Stephanie

December 15, 2009 – 10:27 am

We met Dave and Stephanie at the Wentworth by The Sea on a stormy day last month to do a few pre-wedding shots. They live in Southern California so it was really cold for them and it was rainy so we did most of the shoot inside the hotel. They will be having their wedding reception at the Wentworth in February, talk about cold! They were a great couple who were full of laughter and a genuine love for each other. We are excited to photograph their winter wedding. Here are a few favs:
