    Yervant & Joe Buissink

    Last Wednesday, Brad and I were in Orlando to attend the Yervant & Joe Buissink Two Views seminar. They are both amazing photographers, it was an absolute privelage to spend the day learning from them. Yervant is a world renowned wedding photographer based in Australia (and has a killer accent) and Joe Buissink is a celebrity wedding photographer from Beverly Hills. They have such completely different shooting styles but both manage to capture weddings so beautifully and intimately. Here are a few photos we took while we were there. Joe has shot numerous celebrity weddings including Jennifer Lopez, Kelsey Grammar, Jessica Simpson, and Brendan Frazier.

    Brad and Yervant - Please forgive the poopie quality of this shot. I had to resort to using the on camera flash, and we all know what a disaster that can be.
