Great video and teaching. I can't find the vanessaandrob.com website. I would love to get ahold of the freebies you spoke of.
culling in camera that's probably the worst things you can do.
i know its an older vid but do vanessa have an website? the one in discipton dos not work?
I LOVE TEACHERS! This lecture was awesome and informative. Thank you so much! If your in CA/Westminster area ID LOVE TO SECOND SHOOT WITH YOU!
I don't show any picture the same day because I don't want to give this meaning to the pictures I take that are not meant to replace in some way the living present moment. The waiting for the picture that will capture memory is an important part of the philosophy.
Well, I would want to say that with more precision in my own language (french !) but no one would get it :p
If I understand well, the husband of this woman is accused to have stolen someone else's work ?
Great, thank you.
Very informative…
+Atlantic Picture, +NickLikesABanana "Due to the current controversy surrounding Rob Adams, we are not working with him at this time."
Just read these and I'm surprised B&H supports them…
It's time to write a few books.. let's see what's on the shelf… 🙂

Vanessa and Rob? Have they gotten sued because they stole someone else's workshop for their own workshop on Creativelive yet??
well I actually really like their workshop though.
great tips & tricks…yeah, my great weakness is definitely the business management side in which you seemed to have plenty of knowledge. in fact you can almost pack up photography & simply concentrate on teaching or being a photography business manager. i for one would need your services.
i'd love to see your portfolio, if it's just as great as your knowledge on the business side.
your http://www.vanessaandrob.com/ website doesn't seem to have any links to your portfolio but business case (at least i can't find any), that's a fundamental to this seminar. there's also no links here neither, i can't do the search on the net because the full name or your web "branding". with no disrespect but what the reason for not to advertise your photography work, i'm confused…but yeah great advices otherwise
Wow. The information from this video is invaluable. Thanks!!
The problem with doing same day edits is while you're spending your time editing pictures, you're missing the wedding you were paid to shoot! Maybe a 2nd can do that, but again, you're hired to shoot on the wedding day and edit on your own time. If you're going to use the jpg's, chances are, you're not going to put your best work out there anyway so it's counterproductive.
It's all so well presented, but i can't agree with all this outsourcing, esp. in editing! Editing is almost defining your style! So what is your back up scenario if failure in outsource editing, changing your style? Now you are selling product thats not completely yours. Think about that! Anyway, great presentation!
Hello Vanessa, would you like to talk about outsourcing some design/color/editing?
as always, you need to know how to be good in business to be successful, more so than being a good photographer. Anything can be outsourced these days, so if you have the ability to get big bucks from clients like what she's doing that's the most important.
I thought the attraction of being a wedding photographer is that you could NOT work every day. Seems like you are making a lot of work for yourself if you're working 80 hours a week. What happens if you get sick or have an accident? Life is short. Why are wedding photographers also so 'excited' about every wedding they do? It sounds insincere.
I've been DJing weddings for about 15 years. In the absence of a wedding planner, the DJ is definitely the wedding planner for the reception vs. the photographer. Not to say that the photographer doesn't have any input, but I've NEVER worked around a photographer's schedule or had the photographer decide any of the timing at all.
From 41:20 = Outsourcing photography 99%. Outsource what you hate. Outsource what slows you down. Outsource what you are not good at.. 🙂 Editing, shooting, blogs, printing, etc..etc… Talking to clients & overseeing what others are doing is not = a Photographer, but a rep. or office mgr. 🙂 Nevertheless great job! 🙂
She is awesome!But I do have a lot of questions for her unfortunately she doesn't really mentions it clearly during the presentation.Anyway thumbs up!
