What I love about Fotog Friday is that it’s our time as photographers to give back to other photographers, and share what has helped us along the way on our journey to have the best job in the world. Someone that has had a huge impact in my career is California photographer Mike Colon. Five years ago when I was making the switch from wedding videography to wedding photography, I purchased a DVD that opened my eyes to the possibilities of what could be. Ok, rewind, I begged my mom to buy it for me as a Christmas present because I wasn’t quite in a place to buy it for myself. But she bought it for me because she believed in me, and she wanted to invest in helping me make my photography dreams come true. That video was called “How To Reach the High End Bride” by Mike Colon. At the time, the concept just seemed like a carrot in front of my nose, but it’s exciting to look back 5 years and see how now Stephen and I are shooting our own high end weddings. And I love to give credit to Mike Colon for being one of the first to inspire me toward that goal.
Because of it, Stephen and I wanted to feature him here on our blog and give-a-way a copy of his latest DVD “On Location With Mike Colon: Jamaica”. In the video we talk about:
*How Mike got started
*What gear he uses
*Why he chose the high end market
*Natural light vs. artificial light
*How he broke into destination weddings.
Enjoy the video, and be sure to check out details below on how to win your FREE copy of his new DVD!
