I was so honored when I finally got my hands on Lou Jacobs’s new book Professional Wedding Photography: Techniques and Images from Master Photographers.

I was approached by Lou a couple of years ago about this project – way before Fast Track – and was honored to be listed along side friends like Jen and Stephen Bebb, John and Dalisa Cooper, Chenin and Doug Boutwell, Stacy Kane, Cliff Mautner and many others. Each of us have a dedicated chapter where we answer questions as well as feature extensive portfolios. It’s weird to see images created so long ago just now going to print. Book publications are so different from magazines.

I was laughing when I saw my image of Carlie and Gabriel Ryan’s wedding on the back cover. I was actually the officiant and brought my camera just for fun. It was actually Jasmine Star’s shoot.

It reminded me of a wedding I shot a while back where Mike Colon came along with me. I think he had his images from the event published about 30 seconds after the reception. It was hilarious…

PS… I sent an email out to my friends a couple days ago and asked if anyone had any questions they wanted help with… and anything was fair game. I was blown away by the literally hundreds of questions that came back in a matter of hours! The content was absolutely fascinating. I think it revealed a lot of where our industry is right now.

In response, what I’ve decided to do is… drum roll please…. I’m going to re-ignite my Photo Minute Podcasts under the new name, AskDane.com.

It will take a bit to get rolling given the volume of questions, but I’m totally up for it. I’m hoping to start production very soon and thanks so much for bringing up so many fantastic ideas to talk about! I can’t wait!! In fact, feel free to keep them coming in the comments below…
