This is all too familiar

So my photo class has required us to do a 2 day internship with a working photographer we have never worked with before...so I did some research and found a great couple in Santa Barbara that do amazing work. They of course are Wedding photographers with a great creative background, he graduated from Brooks in 2005 with the same degree I will be receiving, a Bachelor of Arts in Commercial Advertising, nice to know that there are fellow Brookies out there making good for themselves so fast.. But he and his wife are a set team, kind of like how Deanna works, so it was a very familiar atmosphere.

They of course do thing a little differently, some I will take and some I will leave with them, but overall it was a good experience today. I first edited a wedding which was fun to see their style and all the pictures from someones special day (that is my favorite part of post-production). Then, this is where they do things differently, I had to open all 500+ images and color corrected and photo shop them.. because I was only there for 4 hours I was only able to get through 100 of them, it at least gives me something to do when I go back on Wednesday for my second day to complete my internship. Only that was the part I didn't like. I feel it was a waste of time for 500 images when people only choose about 150 of them...but that is the something ill leave with them..lol

But I do recommend looking at their website, they are amazing.
