But it wasn&#8217;t just any workshop, this was [b]ecker&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/beckersblog.com\/index.cfm?postID=363\" target=\"_blank\">Party of Five workshop<\/a>! If you read this blog pretty frequently, the name <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thebecker.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">[b]ecker<\/a> is not a new one to you. I am a huge fan of [b]ecker&#8217;s work and a frequent reader of <a href=\"http:\/\/beckersblog.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">his blog<\/a>. [b]ecker is a prominent figure in the wedding photography world and not only is he a great guy, but he is super willing to share his knowledge and the inner-workings of his successful photography studio. I&#8217;ve had a great time learning from [b]ecker this year, both at the <a href=\"http:\/\/kellyvasami.goodgallery.com\/blog\/becker-in-brooklyn\/\" target=\"_blank\">[b]ecker in [b]rooklyn<\/a> get-together and at the party of 5 seminar I attended.<\/p>\n<p>We had an on-location instructional photo shoot with this couple, former clients and current friends of [b]ecker. As you can see, they are pretty easy on the eyes and work well for an &#8216;instructional&#8217; photo shoot &#8211; you pretty much couldn&#8217;t get a bad shot of them if you tried! Thanks so much to Mindy and DJ and little Draden for letting us photograph you!<\/p>\n<p><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/kellyvasami.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/12\/dj_mindi_dre_0871.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/kellyvasami.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/12\/dj_mindi_dre_087.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5142584478324475506\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/kellyvasami.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/12\/dj_mindi_dre_0821.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/kellyvasami.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/12\/dj_mindi_dre_082.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5142584478324475522\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Love the sunflare going on here! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/kellyvasami.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/12\/dj_mindi_dre_0931.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/kellyvasami.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/12\/dj_mindi_dre_093.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5142584482619442834\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Draden attacking [b]ecker with leaves \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/kellyvasami.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/12\/dj_mindi_dre_1041.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/kellyvasami.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/12\/dj_mindi_dre_104.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5142584486914410146\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/kellyvasami.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/12\/dj_mindi_dre_0741.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/kellyvasami.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/12\/dj_mindi_dre_074.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5142584044532778530\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/kellyvasami.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/12\/dj_mindi_dre_0601.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/kellyvasami.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/12\/dj_mindi_dre_060.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5142584048827745842\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/kellyvasami.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/12\/dj_mindi_dre_0661.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/kellyvasami.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/12\/dj_mindi_dre_066.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5142584048827745858\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/kellyvasami.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/12\/dj_mindi_dre_0771.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/kellyvasami.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/12\/dj_mindi_dre_077.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5142584053122713170\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/kellyvasami.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/12\/dj_mindi_dre_0791.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/kellyvasami.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/12\/dj_mindi_dre_079.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5142584057417680482\" \/><\/a><br \/>One of the other benefits to attending this seminar was a chance to hang out with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jcsphoto.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Jessica Claire<\/a>, who is also a super-talented and influential Southern California wedding photographer.
