BryCox - JSMB 1

This Saturday is the big bridal show at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, called “Salt Lake’s Premier Wedding Show.”  I’m very exited for this show — it’s one of the biggest shows of the year and one of the classiest ones as well.  I’ve been working on some fun new things for for my booth and hope that everyone loves the new changes.

I’ll be on the Mezzanine, right off the elevator and I hope to see you there.  To pre-register (and get some prizes too), or for any info, click here.  The show goes from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm this Saturday the 23rd.

If you’re even in the area, come by and say hi.  The show is totally free!

Now that I’m settled in the new year and have gotten past some of my big events, I took time to get some of the 2009 weddings up online.  I work really hard to get all my weddings retouched, designed, printed, book-bound and completely delivered for Christmas so that all my brides can have their beautiful albums for the holidays.  And I succeeded this year and was able to get all m 2009 albums out for Christmas.  I didn’t however have time to get all those wedding designs up online until now.

I love people to see albums all the way through to the end – seeing all the images and the entire design so that they know that everything I do is quality all the way through, every page, every image, the entire design!

BryCox - Ashley's Album

I am so excited about these albums.  These are fantastic! Here’s the first, Ashley & Adam’s Album.  I love Ashley and have photographed her and her family many times over the years.  It was a great wedding.  Her wedding was at Red Butte Gardens in Salt Lake, with her dress was custom made at my favorite dress shop, Alta Moda.

And as always, these albums are laid out to look great open, with two pages up at a time.  I’ve made these designs play as movies which show each 2-page spread, just like these images show.  The book would fold in the middle of these pages.

BryCox - Brittney's Album

And this is Brittney and Ben’s Wedding.  It was in the Denver area at the Denver temple.  This was so fun, because I’ve photographed almost all of the bride’s side of the family at different times, and I feel like a relative in a way.

BryCox - Cammy's Wedding Album

And here is Cammy and Dan’s wedding.  It was up in Huntsville Utah at the groom’s home, and my favorite part of the day was catching the sunset out in the field.  They were such a great couple, as were all of these couples.  I feel honored to be apart of these people’s special day.

Well there are more albums still to post from 2009.  I’ll get to them hopefully very soon.

Until next time, America!

I was recently interviewed over the phone about my upcoming photographic teaching workshop at the US national convention (held this year in Nashville, TN) called ImagingUSA.  I actually spoke two years ago at ImagingUSA when it was in Florida, and that time I was a platform speaker.  This time I’ve been asked to teach a hands-on workshop called Speed Shooting With the Pros.  I will be demonstrating how to create fantastic and great photographs in various on-location environments, with very little equipment, while working very quickly.  It is perfect for wedding photographers or any portrait photographer who works on location and needs to create amazing and emotional photographs of people, and at the same time work within a confined environment.

This interview was done by a group called More Photos.  I’ve included a player here on my blog which should be able to play the interview in its entirety.  The entire interview is only about 5 minutes long.

Photographers wishing to attend need to register special for this class, as the number of attendees is capped.  More info is at the ImagingUSA website.

Here’s the interview:

I had someone post on my blog today a link to the radio interview I did on creativity for the religious show, LDS Radio.  I thought I’d post it here so it’d be easy to find.

The interview was of me and two other people, all creative in our trades, asking about our thoughts and procedures in creativity.  Here’s a direct link to the show, here.

It begins with the quote from President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Second Counselor in the First Presidency of the LDS Church:

“The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul.  We each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exhist before.  The more you trust and rely up the Spirit, the greater your capacity to create.”

And here is my original blog entry, with more info on the interview.

Happy New Year, everyone!  It’s my sister’s wedding is in the morning and I thought I’d put up some of the images I’ve been working on for her display tomorrow.  These are from her engagements and bridals.

We did some in the studio, and some in the leaves here at my outdoor garden studio…

…and finished at the State Capital building where they got engaged.

I’m very excited for my sister’s wedding tomorrow.  As far as the weather, it should be warmer than it’s been lately (the high is supposed to be 32º F), and there’s a strong possibility of snow too.  I hope it does snow because that will mean some very fun outdoor portraits at the temple after the wedding.  I’ll put some images of her wedding soon.

I also need to post some of the wedding album designs that I finished for clients for Christmas.  I was very excited about them and feel they were some of the best albums I’ve ever created.  They were so fantastic!!  Now that the holidays are over and I’m back to a regular schedule again, I’ll get the up online.

Until next time, Amercia!
