Dance Beat Article

Dance Beat -Ed. 0613

Previously, I had posted that some of our photos from the 2013 American Star Ball were published in an article for Dance Beat. The 0613 Edition of the magazine started with an article about the event, and it features 15 photos from TimeLine Media! Thanks to our friends at Encore Ballroom Couture for saving a copy of the magazine for us. I am waiting to receive some extra copies from the publisher since it was a really good summary of the weekend.

Dance Beat has consistently published extensive reviews and recaps of ballroom dance competitions both nationally and internationally. With the amount of subscribers and advertisers that it reaches, it is definitely a privilege to have so many of the photos make it into the article. Thanks to Amanda and Ilya Reyzin for setting up a beautiful ballroom for good photos. The dark red accent colors against black draping really helped to contrast the lighting on the floor. In publishing to newsprint, it helps to have contrasting backgrounds for your subject. They also gave us all-access to the events both on and off the floor which helped to show off their competition more completely. I am confident that this will help to bring even more people to their event next year. It is always nice to see your work published but especially in a periodical dedicated to your specialty. Hope there are more chances to be in there in the future!

WeddingWire Rated – 2013

It was nice to see in my email that I have been noted as a WeddingWire rated business. I have not actively asked my previous wedding couples for reviews on my photography services, so it was really nice to see that some of them did this for me! As far as weddings go, I second shoot or assist primary photographers on weddings more than do these on my own, but I do enjoy covering these events.

Weddings are a lot of work for the photographer! It is a full 10+ hour day of shooting, and lots of editing time afterwards. Comparatively to ballroom dance events, the editing time can be lengthy because of many different lighting situations throughout the day. You can go from inside to outside, church to hotel, restaurant to hotel ballroom. They are really amazing days, but they will take a lot out of you. In fact, I have never come back from a wedding thinking, that wasn’t that much work! Thank you to everyone that sent in a nice review that earned me this badge from an organization that covers all types of event vendors. If you feel so inclined, please leave me a review here!

It was exciting to learn that a few of our photos from the 2013 American Star Ball appeared in the latest issue of Dance Beat magazine! This is a great resource for the latest in ballroom dance competitions. There are write ups on the competitors, the results, and the overall event after it has taken place.

We were more than happy to provide some of our photos to the organizers to submit along with the article. It is always nice to be published, and I hope to be getting a copy of the issue soon. All the photos from this weekend are still available to view on the proofing website.

Of course, the professional dance competitions were packed with beautiful photos. However, all weekend was full of great dancing. On this occasion, the ballroom was setup very nicely with saturated curtains as a background. It really makes the subjects pop off the page. Here are more of my favorites from the event. Enjoy!
