Beautiful Mancos Wedding | Wedding Photographer | Liz Applegate

So a couple of weeks ago we went and shot a wedding in the beautiful mountains of Mancos, CO at the beautiful Echo Basin Ranch. Misty got her dress at Silk Bridal Boutique and she looked so pretty.

The four groomsmen were such a hoot. They have been buddies forever and you could definitely tell. Now of the 5, 3 of them are married.

The event was put together with the able hand of Mari Chavez of Elite Events by Mari. It made it so easy to stay exactly on schedule. I really recommend working with a wedding coordinator, that way you are not having to worry about every detail on a day you should be ENJOYING yourself. Just let them deal with all of the headaches. This one was really a very nice "party". Enjoy the pictures.

Wednesday Wisdom - Mix it Up

Hi everyone! This week's hint comes from watching Seinfeld's stand up show entitled "I Am Telling You for the Last Time".

Jerry: "Wait up!" That's what kids say. They don't say "wait", they say "Wait up! Hey, wait up!" 'Cause when you're little, your life is up. The future is up. Everything you want is up. "Wait up! Hold up! Shut up! Mom, I'll clean up! Let me stay up!"

Parents of course are just the opposite. Everything is down. "Just calm down. Slow down. Come down here. Sit down. Put that down."

Isn't that so true?! How often do we get down to our kids' level to see just how THEY see things in life? This is especially true with photography. We as photographers typically take the "easy angle". What this means is we take whatever is easiest for us and don't put too much creative juices into what we are actually shooting. We shoot DOWN on our kids.

So here is my tip for the day. Try shooting ACROSS to your kids. Or even UP at your kids. You just might like the angle.
