Hi there! Welcome to the Luke & Ashley blog, a journal about our lives, our beautiful couples, and their stories we get to tell. Stay a while and do say hello if you please!
This past weekend we held our second class on Off Camera Flash ( OCF ).
It was such a joy to be able to meet such incredible talented photographers in the surrounding areas.
Luke & I have been discussing awhile that we wanted to start hosting small hands on workshops covering different topics.
We both are very hands on and that is how we both learn in our own way.
It was very important to us to not only teach on a subject but also give the opportunity to practice what we taught.
We decided to start with OCF because it is not something that is covered much in other workshops and we have already been helping other photographers in this area.
Christmas we went live and announced our first class. The response was overwhelming!
We are truly grateful for those that came out and not only purchased a seat but supported us.
It really means a lot!
We definitely want to give a BIG shoutout to the Peninsula Dream Center for letting us use their facility!
It was seriously a great spot for us to start. With a good sized room with tables and chairs, a chapel area, as well as a dark sitting room. We were able to use it to our advantage. We are grateful for such good friends that we have over there!
Also another BIG shoutout to Amanda. Amanda is an AWESOME photographer/owner of Stellar Exposures.
If you haven’t seen her work….STOP. Go check it out now. She is so creative and so willing to share what she knows.
She is also our Nikon Guru and was there to help/assist with all those that had Nikon equipment. Thank-You so much Amanda…. We seriously couldn’t have done it without your help!
We are having our 3rd class March 7th. If you are interested you can sign up here.
We are also going to be putting together a class on reception lighting as well as wedding exits.
So be sure to follow us on Facebook to hear the latest announcement on that.
Again, Luke & I are truly grateful for all those that came out
and we cannot wait to see those awesome OCF shots that you all are going to achieve!
Here’s some Behind The Scenes! Thank-You Amanda for all the Fish Eye shots… Very fun!
I am not sure what Luke is doing here… But Kristine looks scared… lol.
