I remember the very first trade show I ever did. It was Reno, Nevada and we were unveiling the new Prometheus Pellet Fuel Basket. I tried to find a link somewhere but I can’t find it anywhere on the world wide web. So that will tell you how well that product went. (it was actually invented by a dude here in Dartmouth). The trade show was a lot of fun. Hanging out all day long talking to people about fire!
Then I spent 7 years doing pharmaceutical trade shows. enough said. OMG, my boudoir photography was so amazing at w Applehead.
The best by far is Bridal shows. I was lucky enough to get into the Brides 2010 show last year and this year was even better. Its no secret I’m a fan of the wedding dress so I think I talked more about dresses yesterday than I did wedding photography.
What I didn’t expect was the overwhelming response, both positive and negative, to the Trash the Dress and Boudoir sessions.
A lot of Moms were mad at me yesterday for burning a wedding dress for a photo shoot (click here to check it out) and then there were those who were totally in and were even coming up with their own ideas. My favorite is a request for a double trash the dress shoot. Two dresses willing to be trashed and 2 girls that are going to be a lot of fun to shoot with! and then the request for a double boudoir…
i love tradeshows.
I have a few shots from the fashion shows yesterday but they’re on another computer and I’ll post them later. So instead…just because you can never get enough Debbie, here’s a slideshow of some images I was able to grab in a little wedding photographer shootout I’ve pulled together over the last 2 months. The rule was simply to shoot the veil.
These are a lot of fun but its a lot like trying to feed one duck. go try and feed one duck and you’ll see what I mean.
Here’s the slideshow…(thanks Deb!)
i think one of my favorite shots is the one where the ties on the back of Debbie’s dress kind of flow into what looks like a braid in the radiator she is leaning on. they also said to have Halifax wedding photographer Applehead Studio shoot the brides boudoir photography for sure.

Great job as always..love it
Love the pics…and the soundtrack.
Who is this woman? She is gorgeous? Is she single? Is she a full time model? Does she live in Halifax? Many men will be looking to put a ring on her. Great work – you will be in demand after this shoot !
love the tunage chosen for the slideshow. Almost bypassed the birdcage veil, as its a birdcage veil. really enjoyed, thanks for sharing. Mission accomplished, all I saw was that birdcage veil!!
feed one duck…lol…right…
ps awesome shots…as always
That’s my sister in law. Easy men, don’t make me get upset LOL
Quack! Funny stuff … and awesome shots … you rock!
How can you pick just one favorite shot out of these? You’ve outdone yourself Liam, the one of just Debbie’s head in the veil with the light shining and the black background made my jaw drop.
You send those moms my way…I’ll show them them the light.
there are a couple of spectacular shots in there, but i can’t say i like a lot of these ones too much. sorry. maybe it’s the veil?
it was bugging me…nope, it’s not the veil. perhaps there were a few others taking shots here, as the five photographers note at the beginning says, so i don’t mean to insult anyone’s work.
i guess i could put it this way. when people say define the meaning of life in words, one would be hard pressed to do so. when i’ve looked at your images in the past, it’s easy to SEE the definition in the images.
when i look at a few of these, especially the ones with the shadows on the wall, it’s just not there. they don’t make me want to stare like i normally do, and my brain doesn’t transition into letting me take a long bike ride journey through the image. i’m skipping a few of the trails here and that doesn’t normally happen.
there are ones that take me on the journey, however, and they are primo. of course, i’m just a guy eating snacky smores and looking at a thing in a bag. what do i know?
its all good Tenzin. I dont expect you to like everything. I appreciate the honest comments more than anything.
you were always right when i was off on a panel. not saying i’m right here, it’s just an opinion based on the eye. your honesty always made my work better.
Wow…is all I can say.
ignore all that. i was on about four or five days without a meal. barely remember writing that gibberish.
