PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHERS OF INDIANA
Wedding Photography

 

I am very flattered to have been asked by the Professional Photographers of Indiana to present my program at the summer picnic .

Here is a brief description of my program called  

SHOOT FOR THE ALBUM

Joe DeFabis, owner of DeFabis Photography in Indianapolis, Indiana will present his program "SHOOT FOR THE ALBUM".  This program is designed for individuals who would like to improve the efficiency of their wedding workflow.

During the program Joe will explain his shooting techniques on the wedding day as well as post production workflow that allows him to design a custom 40-50 page album  in less than 4 hours     WITHOUT USING TEMPLATES!
His jpeg based workflow allows his studio to put a finished album layout online only five days after the wedding! 

Joe will break down a wedding book chapter by chapter and demonstrate actual page layouts from wedding books he has created.

Joe DeFabis has 20 years professional wedding photography experience and  will  share some of his ideas on how to increase your wedding bookings in a very competitive market.  DeFabis Photography  is in the final stages of transforming his Indianapolis studio into a 100% Wedding studio and will share his thoughts on specialization.

Bridal Portraits For The Modern Bride
Wedding Photography

I wanted to share a couple of images from Erin's Bridal Portrait that feature our new Look .  Our Professional Bridal Portraits for the Modern Bride feature more photojournalistic poses, dramatic lighting and artistic flare.

 

For the fellow photographers out there, these images were taken in the studio with our new Spider Lites TD5  system.  I have found since the purchase of my new Nikon D3 I can use "hot lights" instead of strobes with more accurate control.  My set up uses the daylight flourescent tubes in the ceiling for fill and a TD5 light in a Larson softbox for the main light.  I also use a "clamp light" found at any hardware store with a daylight flourescent bulb in it as a kicker light.

 

Please leave your comments - I would enjoy hearing what you have to say about our new style of Bridal Portraits for the Modern Bride.

 

Oh yeah, we still do traditional portraits as well for the Bride.

This image is our Tuscan Art Print

A dramatic pose, combined with B&W gives this print a unique and powerful look

Wedding Group at the West Baden Hotel January 2008

I will be covering the wedding part of the workshop and very familiar with both facilities.  I have photographed weddings at both the French Lick Resort and West Baden Springs.  I was married just last April at the French Lick Resort and have been assured by the catering staff that we will have free use of the facilities for our photography sessions.  If you've never been to the Resort, you are going to be in for a big surprise.  It is truly the most elegant setting for Wedding Photography I have seen in my twenty years experience.  My last wedding at the West Baden Hotel was January 5, 2008 CLICK HERE TO VIEW.

 

THERE ARE STILL 8 SPOTS LEFT IN THE WORKSHOP AND WE WILL HOLD THE PARTICIPATION TO 15 PHOTOGRAPHERS.  This will guarantee a lot of personal time with Ken and Joe as well as plenty of personal time with the models.  One of my favorite couples from last year will be with us as an actual Bride and Groom as well as two Brides who will be modeling two different styles of wedding gowns. 

 

THANK YOU AGAIN AND WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO SOME GREAT PHOTOGRAPHY, FRIENDHSIP, AND HOPEFULLY A LITTLE LUCK IN THE CASINO!
