For the second year running, Chris and I escaped to the White Mountains for the Married Wedding Photographers ski retreat in NH hosted by our friends Matt and Enna of Grazier Photograpahy. Joining us this year were Kim & John from Sanderson Images, (check out their blog for some really cool mug shots of us all), Justin & Mary from Justin Marantz Photography, and Larry and Tabitha from Sherrell Photography.
We spent most of the week hanging out, talking shop, and of course skiing/snowboarding. It was so great to share ideas and experiences with other photographers who understand the challenges and rewards of working alongside your partner. Here are just a few images from our time together.
We picked the perfect day for hitting the slopes!
Kim & John Sanderson give the thumbs up to these awesome spring conditions, which we enjoyed almost entirely to ourselves!!! Gotta love mid-week skiing.
Matt shows off his ultimate speed
Justin & Mary have never been on the slopes before but took to it like a fish to water. Check out their blog for a cool video clip of Justin. Here they are blogging back at the ski house!
Back in the ski house we played a little pool. Here’s a little trick shot for you …
Tabitha shows us her talents outside of photography. Larry, Eldon, and little Vera June watch on.
Ollie Grazier looks on - desperate to join the game!
Everyone brought a laptop or computer so we could do a little work. Here Larry checks his morning email, while Eldon Sherrell looks on….don’t you just love the expressions!
Matt & Enna feeling the love!
And of course there was always someone with a camera at the ready. Christine chimping!
And John getting a few action shots.
Then of course there was a little time for just hanging out. Larry reading to Eldon.
Oh … and Ollie says “Hi everyone” or was it “Another photographer … noooo don’t take my picture anymore!!”
And the great thing is we’ll get to see them again next week in Las Vegas at WPPI - the largest international convention for wedding and portrait photographers. We can’t wait!
We love you guys!! It just wouldn’t be the same ski retreat without you:) Enna and I are taking it easy today, but will be blogging more photos when we get back to work tomorrow. Your photos are great. They really show the fun at the house. See you in Vegas baby!!
We had a great time, and we are missing you all already! Can’t wait for next year.
