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!
