Getting the most from your wedding photography...

We recently did a short workshop at the Weddings at Lake Chelan Bridal Show about "Getting the most from your Wedding Photography".  In the short time that we had for the workshop, we talked about the importance of finding the right photographer, having open lines of communication and the Day of the Wedding.  This is by no means the only, or "right way", but rather these are just some suggestions that we have found will help to make the couple's experience, and the photos themselves, the best they can be.

We hope that this outline will help you, or someone you know, in finding the right photographer and having the best possible experience on the wedding day.

If you have any questions and/or concerns, please feel free to contact us at cohta@chrisohta.com
Here is an outline from the workshop:

Weddings at Lake Chelan Bridal Show 2012

This past weekend we had the honor and pleasure of being a part of the Weddings at Lake Chelan Bridal Show 2012.  This was the best wedding show that we have ever been to.  It was made up of a select group of vendors and was held at two of Chelan's best wineries, Tsillan Cellars and Karma Vineyards.  This gave the brides and couples a chance to sip wine, talk with the vendors in relaxed and intimate atmosphere and check out two incredible Chelan wineries.  This is how bridal shows should be!!!  A special thanks to Lynn Tuttle of Fleur de Lis and Molly Nickles of Nickles Photography for all of their efforts.  It was great to meet and share with so many great people and we are already looking forward to next year!!!
Here are some photos from the event:

Bella Sera Bride's Day 2012

This past Saturday, we had the pleasure of participating in Bride's Day at Bella Sera in Wenatchee, WA.  Bella Sera is the best bridal boutique in Central Washington and we partnered with them to offer their bride's a special opportunity.  We took photos of bride's as they tried on various gowns so that they can view the photos later to compare the different gowns before they buy.  This also gave the brides the chance to see how the gowns photograph before the big day.

This was a great idea and we had a blast photographing beautiful brides and hanging out with awesome people.  Nickles Photography, Atlas and Elia and Lynette Smith Photography were also on hand speaking and sharing with brides throughout the day.  There were also some delicious mini-cupcakes and a cake on display by Top Tier Cakes for all Occasions out of Cashmere, WA.

Be sure to check us out at the Weddings at Lake Chelan Bridal Show this January 21st, 2012.  This will be a special bridal show in which brides can speak with the areas best vendors in a relaxed and intimate atmosphere at two of Chelan's best wineries, Tsillan Cellars and Karma Vineyards.  There will be wine and cake tastings, mini workshops (one by us), complimentary limo rides between the wineries and incredible giveaways from many of the vendors.  Don't miss out and come say Hi...  Pre-register before Wednesday.
