The 2010 issue of Weddings Unveiled Magazine hit the stands a few days ago.  I f you haven’t had the pleasure of getting your hands on this gorgeous magazine, you have my permission to do so now.  Mark and Kari’s wedding shot at Chandor Gardens in Weatherford, Texas was featured in the Real Weddings section of the magazine.  The spread is beautiful!  I’ve linked to their it before, but here is one more just in case you aren’t a follower of their inspirational wedding blog.

This life is amazing.  This world we see, and the people in it, teem with life and yearn for us, as photographers, to tell their story in a way that is honest and passionate.  In a way that belies the sentiment that “every picture has been taken already.”  The Creator of Creativity is far from done inspiring and creating, and I am PUMPED to say that I am going to be part of a 4 day 5 night voyage into the depths of connection with that Creator.  A renewing for some, revelation for others, For the Love is a retreat of sorts, but I like to think of it as an “advance”, moving forward into a deeper, more intimate connection with God.

Make no mistake, For the Love a photography workshop, and along with myself, the unmistakeable Lauren Clark will be teaching and ministering to your photography needs ;) We will cover all of the typical workshop material, but also how to honor God with our business and creativity.

One note.  There will be no judgements.  All of us who are putting this on fall short everyday.  It’s only by the Grace of Father and the immeasurable Mercy He extends us that we can stand and magnify His Name.  He is the reason “For the Love”, not us.  So don’t worry about what “denomination” we are a part of, or what “version” of Christianity we ascribe to.  We aren’t interested in what divides us, but what makes us unique.  We just want to love Jesus, and we aspire to “Love God and love people”.  As my good friend Otto Schulze says, “We’re family.”

I hope to meet many of you in the mountains.
