Venice Engagement & Paris Wedding published in Rangefinder... And plans for a workshop in Puerto Rico!

We are thrilled to announce that our story about Tatiana & Julien's Venice engagement and Paris wedding just got published in the February 2009 issue of Rangefinder Magazine!

We submitted this article to Bill Hurter at Rangefinder quite a while ago, and while we got the green light that it would be published in the special "Wedding Issue," we were still hesitant to say anything until we were able to hold the magazine in our hands!

We've had such a tremendous response already - thanks so much to everyone for your kind words. We can't describe how much it means to us...

Now on to the slightly tricky part - our workshop! We initially wanted to do a workshop for "Photographer Couples" in Puerto Rico in April, but due to the number of weddings we have now booked that month, we are going to have to push back our plans to late 2009...

The workshop/seminar will be mainly for couple-photographers and partnerships, but anyone is welcome to attend. We'll focus on making your partnership work for your business (in both day-to-day operations and marketing) and a large part of the trip will be about creating great destination wedding images and building your portfolio (so you can get those destination weddings!).

If you are a photographer and are interested in the workshop, please email me directly at lauraeatonphoto@gmail.com or call 609.954.0488. We are still in the planning stages, but we will have a website up shortly!

Thanks again to everyone!
Take care,
Laura & Paul

2008 WPPI Accolade of Excellence

We are very excited to announce that one of our entries into the Wedding and Portrait Photographers International 2008 8x10 Print Competition received an "Accolade of Excellence!"



We have been members of WPPI for several years now, but this is our first time entering one of their print competitions, which is why it means so much to us to get this award on our first try!

Here is the text from the press release:

Laura Eaton of Chesterfield, NJ, has received special honors in the WEDDING & PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHERS INTERNATIONAL (WPPI) 2008 WPPI 8 x 10 1st Half Print Competition.

Designed to recognize outstanding photographers, the judging was held in Santa Monica, CA on June, 2008.

"Untitled" received an Accolade of Excellence in the Bride and Groom Together category.

Eaton competed against an international field of photographers to win such honors.
The WPPI 8 x 10 1st Half Print Competition awards are presented each year at the largest trade show, educational platform and convention in the United States for professional photographers. The 2008 competition included 932 prints in 18 different categories submitted by photographers from all over the world.


Thanks again to Tatiana and Julien for giving us an opportunity to take an image like this!

Tatiana et Julien Part Deux - Poitiers and Paris

As promised we got the Paris shots into the slideshow for Tatiana and Julien. I know you will all enjoy this as much as we do.
It's a bit large so it will take a while to load.

Speechless...

As Paul and I enjoyed a post-wedding brunch with Tatiana & Julien and their family and friends, we wondered how on earth we are ever going to find the right words to describe this wedding and our experience with these amazing people...

Well, since its the day after the wedding, (and we are going to take this evening to enjoy Paris!) we thought we would let the photos do the talking....














More to come shortly.....
