Rebecca Rose Events, headed by Becca Atchison and Betsy Krug, has made some changes to its upcoming workshops.

While COVID-19 forced workshops and conferences to adjust their schedules, the RRE Method simply shifted the The Artful Wedding Production Workshop from in-person to virtual, and they're donating this summer's workshop proceeds to the Equal Justice Initiative. During the Artful Wedding Production Workshop, Atchinson and Krug share their entire process and many lessons they have learned over years of designing high-end weddings.

Like many of you, I listened in to the Zoom call with Engage Summits that was held a few days ago. The intentions for the call were wonderful, and the 15-member panel provided phenomenal insight. I did, however, leave the call wishing there had been more time for the conversation to evolve, so I began reaching out to some of our friends in the industry. This call with wedding planner Fallon Carter, is the first of those conversations.

Gear Review: Why I Use Fuji for Wedding Photography

Gear Review: Why I Use Fuji for Wedding Photography
Nicholas Horton 0
I remember the first camera I used. It was a beat up, old Konica from the 1980s that I found for $30 at a garage sale. It was covered in dust and was missing a few screws, but the images it produced were full of character. A camera is merely a tool, but after experimenting with dozens of different lenses, cameras, and formats, I realize there is more to the equipment than the technical specifications. There is a specific character that is rendered depending on the film stock (or sensor) in combination with the glass used that can't be quantified, and is the main reason why I test everything before I buy. There are plenty of technical spec and data reviews on Fuji cameras elsewhere, so I won't go into that, here. Rather, this is about what I look for in digital technology to be a more homogeneous hybrid photographer.

It’s Time to Step Up Your Digital Storage and File Delivery Game

It’s Time to Step Up Your Digital Storage and File Delivery Game
IFF Staff 0
This week on the Mistakes Make Magic podcast, host Catherine Guidry speaks to the CEO and creator of CloudSpot. CloudSpot is online storage and delivery option similar to Pass and Pixieset. But it is also an example of what happens when a user becomes the developer, as Cloudspot was created by a wedding photographer for other wedding photographers — and it shows. To date there have been no perfect solutions as it pertains to storage and delivery. So much time and love goes into crafting a client experience, but sending off a gallery link at the conclusion can often feel anti-climatic. It's this exact sentiment that drove Gaven Wade to create Cloudspot.

Ohio Opening for 300-Person Weddings

As reported on Cleveland.com, Ohio is open for business and may be the go to spot if you are looking to host a large-scale event in the near future. But don't let the headlines fool you, this isn't a free for all. Ohio has specific restrictions in place as it plans to allow weddings to match the same capacity numbers it has also set for restaurants. Having wedding restrictions that pair with the state’s restaurant and bar guidelines means no dancing and mingling between tables.

Publicizing Plagiarism
Gina Esposito & Sheena Meekins 0
While the purpose of our journal on Anée Atelier is typically to celebrate stories of our recent work and exciting wins, and while we never use this space for industry-centric conversations, last week brought a series of events that we just cannot continue to address privately. Over the last few years, we’ve been hit with a number of egregious acts of plagiarism, and we feel compelled to shed light on this topic, as multiple others in the industry have been impacted by similar offenses as well.
