Okay…So I have the updated information regarding the indoor Day After Session at the Bushnell Theater in Hartford. I have spoken with the theater and found out some good news and bad news!

First is the Good News…They have an opening in the Belding Theater, the newest theater there (which is beautiful), on a Saturday, February 7th.

Bad news is it will cost us a bit more than expected. ;o(

So I have put together some options as to the length of time / number of photographers who will be joining in.

The cost of the rental is $250 per hour and an additional $20 per hour to have someone from the theater watching us (mandatory)

So here are the options I thought would best suit our photographic needs/pockets.

2 hours, 2 couples to shoot, 2 groups of photographers (to make it easier so we won’t be bumping into each other and getting into each other’s shots)

The cost of this would be $540 total and I figured out the cost per photograhper based on the number who will join us…

10 photogs…$54.00 per person for 2 hours

15 photogs…$36.00 per person for 2 hours

20 photogs…$27.00 per person for 2 hours

And to rent the theater for 3 hours would cost a total of $810 (3 hours of shooting, 2 couples to shoot, 2 groups of photographers)

10 photogs…$81.00 per person for 3 hours

15 photogs…$54.00 per person for 3 hours

20 photogs…$40.50 per person for 3 hours.

I know this is a tad bit more money per person than originally expected…but there is a great deal of people that are definitely interested and the Bushnell is more than happy to accomodate us for the time that we will be there. So I want to know what your real honest opinions are on whether or not you feel the amount is worth it. If this is out of everyone’s budget…and believe me I completely understand, then please let me know and I think we can maybe arrange something else to keep the group shoot something that we can do together, but in a different location that orinally planned.

 Ps…I personally feel if everyone is still interested in doing it at the Bushnell that the three hours would be the better choice so we don’t feel rushed and we get out of it what we were hoping to.

Happy Tuesday!

A long while back…I shot a wedding with my friend Tania of Tania Sones Photography and we had a blast shooting together! It was really such a fun day that I had a hard time considering it to be work!

I have a bunch of my favorites to show you!

First things first…Yeah! All set with my site now! Sorry for any inconvenience!

Now…for the fun stuff! It was thought up by me and my friend Tania that we should get a group of photographers together to shoot a Day After type session this winter for one of my PBandJ’s. For any of you who don’t remember…PB and J is a group of us photogs, of all levels and backgrounds, that get together on a monthly basis to chat it up and learn from each other. I have met some pretty cool people and have continued being friends with them…all because of the little group called PB and J (A.K.A. Photography, Beer and Junkfood). Really like anything else in life…if we all put in to this group…the more we will get out of it! I feel so lucky to be in an industry in which we view each other as helpers, friends, mentors, inspirations, etc. rather than competition! It really is a cool thing!

The details…(so far)

We will be chipping in to rent out a theater at the Bushnell Theaters (which is said to be about $250). If we get about 15 photograhers this is only about $12.50 a piece. Pretty cheap in my book!

We will have two recently married couples, willing to get into their wedding attire again and do anything we ask of them! I am thinking two couples so we can split the group of photographers into two groups and then switch half way through…add a bit of variety to our images…as well as not be falling over each other to get our shots!

I am thinking we could end the day with a nice cold pint of ice cold beer and a slice of pizza! Mmmmmmm! This is what will keep with the whole meaning of PBandJ…and we can do all of our sharing ideas and networking during this time…

I was also thinking of having a feedback session from our couples…to let us know how they thought we did from our end.

All in all, I think it would be pretty cool day (and warm since we’ll be inside!) and we could really benefit in doing this in more ways than one! This would be your chance to try that something new you have been meaning to experiment with but don’t have time to at a wedding! Whether it be try a new technique in shooting or trying out some new lighting equipment…

So if you are interested in doing this please let me know! I am hoping to get about 15 photographers to help keep costs down. So leave a comment below or let me know by leaving me a message on my site by going into my contact page…

Hope your all having a Happy Tuesday!
