Paradise Springs the last time when its too cold 2014
It’s been a long winter and we’re ready to get back at it. The winter time is traditionally slow for me at Vagabond Photography, it’s a time when I prep for the upcoming busy season and work with our clients to plan their dream wedding photos, senior portraits and generally have some fun in the snow. This winter became a little bit too long though. In Wisconsin we ended up with almost a week at the end of January of -30* to -50* F temps and as fun as that may sound it gets a little trying after a while. In those temp’s camera gear and drones don’t last long. Though some interesting things happen when it is that cold to spring fed ponds that don’t freeze in normal winters.
Winter is also normally the time where photographers go to conventions a learn about new techniques and where our printers, camera reps try to sell us on latest and greatest new tech gadget. This year we passed on the conventions in leu of being part of a long terms friend’s wedding in beautiful Punta Cana, Dominican Republic as groomsman. Towards the end of winter and a wet cool spring it was really nice to get away and go sit on a beach and drink some umbrella drinks.
Hard Rock Resort beach Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.
The Dominican Republic is a nice place to visit and there are so many photo opportunities there maybe I should of brought my camera out more but hey its vacation time. It was great to be on the other side of the camera for a change and to see how someone else runs the show. Nicole and Jamie’s photographer Milan Vasovic was astounding, watching him find beauty in something simple was a joy to watch and helped inspire me to try some new things that may have taken me a few more years to learn on my own. That is the joys of watching a photographer with 20 plus years of experience.
Now back from the DR and we’re still waiting on summer to get here, heck even a good spring am I right Wisconsinites? Though what I am really looking forward to is creating something special with you or you and your loved one. Remember at Vagabond Photography we do our best to bring your idea to fruition and have it be something you will love and cherish.
