Bambi finds the extraordinary in ordinary spaces.

Last month, Bambi Cantrell, one of the world's leading wedding photographers, came to Detroit.  What a fantastic experience!  From Russia to Korea to Australia, this woman has trained some of the top talent in photography all around the world.  I was excited to meet her, maybe even a little awe-struck.  Then I found out humble she was.  Bambi is really just a regular person who happens to be a fabulous wedding photographer.   

I've attended her presentations in the past and she never fails to impress.  Her DPPA program was invigorating.  Bambi had loads of new material to share.  I recruited Kayla, one of my favorite clients, as a model.  The goal was to create phenomenal photos in a plain ordinary environment, so The Birmingham Conference Center served as our lab.  Bambi was in her element.  Remarkable!  Inspired!  It was truly exciting to see her work.  

Bambi explained to us, it's easy to compose gorgeous portraits with beautiful settings (churches, halls or outdoors), but how do you create extraordinary photographs in more modest environments?  How do you get those natural glamorous images in less than dramatic spaces?  This is Bambi's specialty.  She was impressive and gave us a lot of food for thought.  She armed us with practical photographic techniques to create beautiful wedding images even in the most trying circumstances.  Bambi arrived in Detroit with a clear goal.  I think we can say to her, "Mission Accomplished."
