We're thrilled to announce that we are hosting a special seminar with Huy Nguyen and Linda Wallace in April!

Huy and Linda are two of the most talented and innovative photographers working in the wedding industry. They are a constant source of inspiration to the LaCour team. Mark just spent a wonderful week teaching alongside Huy and Linda at The Foundation Workshop.

On April 25 and 26, Huy and Linda will share their knowledge and experience with photographers at The NO MODELS Workshop. Come spend two days with Huy and Linda at the LaCour studio in Atlanta!

Huy and Linda will teach you to find inspiration in real life and real stories!

You will be inspired. You will be challenged. You will be changed!

As we posted earlier this week, Rachel and I photographed a Vera Wang event at the beautiful Peninsula Hotel, sponsored by Chicago Social Brides and our friends at Belle Vie Bridal Couture. We just created a slideshow from the event. ****CLICK HERE**** to view the slideshow.

One of the benefits of having Joy and Garrett Nudd as friends is that they are always travelling south from Chattanooga. And our home base of Atlanta is very hard to avoid! We love our impromptu get-togethers with Garrett, Joy and the adorable Graycen. Thanks for stopping in Atlanta tonight for dinner guys. Have fun shooting in Savannah this weekend! We look forward to seeing your beautiful photos!

We had a surprise birthday party for Bill Holland (Bill is the director of this year's Foundation Workshop) and I just had to sport some Elton John-ish glasses. Thanks to Emilie Sommer for the cool photo! Also, check out the Foundation Workshop blog. I've been updating the blog with fun pictures from each day of the workshop.
