MIKE COLON WORKSHOP

In May I had the great pleasure of attending a workshop held by Mike Colon. Now, I have to be completely honest and say that a year ago I had never even heard the name Mike Colon. Now I realize that I must have been living under a rock! Mike Colon is to wedding photography as Michael Jordan is to basketball...seriously. The guy has photographed the weddings of celebrities like Usher and Timbaland. He is the real deal!

After another photographer sang the praises of Mike, his work, his philosophy and his workshops, I decided I needed to see what all of the fuss was about. So off to Atlanta I went for a special two day workshop that was absolutely amazing. Mike is a really down-to-earth, genuine person (when he could be a total diva) and the information we learned was spot-on. We got a ton of technical advice, learned all about building our businesses and were able to participate in two incredible shoots. The best part of the experience was meeting the other photographers. The folks in this industry are so great!

Below are a few shots of Mike in action. Tomorrow I'll post about Joy Thigpen and the gorgeous wedding shoot she styled for the Atlanta workshop...so stay tuned!

  2. Hey, Esther! I just assumed it was ok since SW put them up...so I hope it is! I checked back with them today and they had added the names, which was VERY nice of them. It was so great to meet you and I absolutely can't wait to see the photos from your wedding :)
