Denver Colorado wedding photojournalist and fine art photographer Mark Hayes
It’s funny in some ways. I think I network all the time, only problem is most of the time it’s with other photographers. Now while there’s nothing wrong with hanging out talking F-stops, ISO’s and off camera flash it probably is a good thing to attend a few other events from time to time....
So most of the time my work is wedding related, and even my lifestyle photography sessions seem to be either engagement or in some other way wedding related (bridal portraits, trash the dress fashion shoots, etc) sometimes I use this for other requests. In this case the request was from wonderful young lady, Tanya,...
I’ve heard it said that lenses are like paint brushes. It’s a pretty good analogy really, just as serious photographers tend to purchase the best lenses serious painters tend to buy the best brushes as well. While the talent and art doesn’t come from the tool people who do this for a living tend to...
There’s a few people who have inspired my outlook over wedding photography and style and I’d say next to Joe Buissink, Jeff Ascough has had the biggest impact on how I look at my own style and how it’s evolved over the years. I found this video of Jeff’s that was done for the...
It’s been a while so I’m going to jump all over the place here for this one. ******************************************************* Why do people say “Real Weddings” I used to wonder about this until I started noticing a lot of photographers and wedding sites showing images that clearly where not taken at a real wedding but rather a...
Anybody who has read a bit of my blog will recognize the name Joe Buissink, world renown wedding photographer who inspires me greatly, not only with his style of photography, but with his style of business, how he treats his clients, and the how and why of what makes him such a wonderful photographer. Well...
It’s been a hectic few weeks getting ready for wedding season but things are coming together and I’m looking forward to hitting the ground running with our June weddings. Speaking of running – that’s something I’ve been doing a lot more of lately. It’s funny a year ago I thought I’d never be a...
OK, so last week I mentioned I’d share with you how you could win your own copy of the Fujifilm X100 this week and here it is. International wedding photographer Otto Schulze is running a contest over at his blog here. Otto is highly inspired by famed photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson so the theme of...
While I write about myself all the time I must admit it’s sometimes weird to see other people writing about me, but that’s happened a couple of times lately. ******************************************************* Bridalize, one of Denver’s best wedding boutique’s, saw my post recently about ranking in the Artistic Guild of the Wedding Photojournalist Association and made mention...
First of all this week I need to take a moment and thank the person responsible for my deep appreciation of marriage, my wonderful wife Linda. This week marks our 20th wedding anniversary and 25 years together as a couple. I hope all of my clients can someday make the same claim and still be...
