Okay…So I have the updated information regarding the indoor Day After Session at the Bushnell Theater in Hartford. I have spoken with the theater and found out some good news and bad news!
First is the Good News…They have an opening in the Belding Theater, the newest theater there (which is beautiful), on a Saturday, February 7th.
Bad news is it will cost us a bit more than expected. ;o(
So I have put together some options as to the length of time / number of photographers who will be joining in.
The cost of the rental is $250 per hour and an additional $20 per hour to have someone from the theater watching us (mandatory)
So here are the options I thought would best suit our photographic needs/pockets.
2 hours, 2 couples to shoot, 2 groups of photographers (to make it easier so we won’t be bumping into each other and getting into each other’s shots)
The cost of this would be $540 total and I figured out the cost per photograhper based on the number who will join us…
10 photogs…$54.00 per person for 2 hours
15 photogs…$36.00 per person for 2 hours
20 photogs…$27.00 per person for 2 hours
And to rent the theater for 3 hours would cost a total of $810 (3 hours of shooting, 2 couples to shoot, 2 groups of photographers)
10 photogs…$81.00 per person for 3 hours
15 photogs…$54.00 per person for 3 hours
20 photogs…$40.50 per person for 3 hours.
I know this is a tad bit more money per person than originally expected…but there is a great deal of people that are definitely interested and the Bushnell is more than happy to accomodate us for the time that we will be there. So I want to know what your real honest opinions are on whether or not you feel the amount is worth it. If this is out of everyone’s budget…and believe me I completely understand, then please let me know and I think we can maybe arrange something else to keep the group shoot something that we can do together, but in a different location that orinally planned.
Ps…I personally feel if everyone is still interested in doing it at the Bushnell that the three hours would be the better choice so we don’t feel rushed and we get out of it what we were hoping to.
Happy Tuesday!

…And ya’ll better not be Squares this month!!! Those of us that showed up in May know who all you Square people are!!!! hehe!
The next PB and J (Photography, Beer, and Junk Food) is this coming Wednesday June 11th at 6:30 pm at Spasi in Danbury…(click on link for address).
As a reminder … It is a very great way to network but is really open to anyone who holds an interest in photography, no matter what shooting level you are on, and you don’t have to be a wedding photographer…
Many things we discuss do pertain to wedding photography, but like most photographers, we all have other passions to shoot other than brides and grooms! So it is an open forum and it is a fun time!
Now…I am hoping I don’t end up ALONE in the bar looking like I am trying to be cool…So I am hoping you can make it out this month to the PB and J…
I know we are all extremely busy and that the wedding season can be stressful and time consuming…but a good night out can do wonders to recharge your batteries!
So bring your selves along with your photo obstacles, thoughts and ideas and join us!
Happy Thursday!

ps…if you are interested in seeing some images created with the new D3 by Nikon…check out a blog that I don’t think gets enough comments on her work. Susan Stripling is an absolute great photographer, I am sure some of you have heard of her before. Anyways…she was a Canon shooter who made the switch to Nikon (LOVE that!) and she has really got some great work on her blog. Enjoy!
