I didn’t get a chance to do my ROP yesterday because my wonderful furnace decided to quit working. Let me paint you a little picture…. There’s 8 inches of snow on the ground, single digit temperatures, and “feels like” temperatures in the negatives… What a fabulous time for our furnace to decide to quit working. We had this same thing happen last year. So one miserable Sunday night to Monday morning and $175 later, we have heat. Luckily we save for situations like this so no big deal now that we have heat again. Of course this wouldn’t be a problem if we were back in Jax where we belong… Once our house sells we are Fruit Cove bound. Well, more like my mom and dad’s house bound on a temporary basis but we plan to buy in St. Augustine. I think. Who knows. It’s all up in there air.
Moving on… Today I bring you a fresh look at the wedding industry.
Agnes Lopez
My little disclaimer: This photo was NOT taken by me. I have no clue who took this photo. I took it from her “about me” page.
It must have been by chance that I stumbled across Agnes. To be honest, I have no clue how I found her, but I did and I’m glad. I’ve been following her blog for about 6 months or so and I can’t rave enough about her work.
1. What inspires me about her work?
The three F’s. Fashion, fashion, and FASHION! I love seeing what she does to combine her background and love for fashion into her wedding photography. Not only does it involve my love for my three C’s tendency but the work she produces from every shoot looks like something you see in a magazine. I love those kind of photos!
2. What inspires me about her?
This is another one where I have to be honest and say I don’t really know much about her. I know she has a background in fashion and journalism and she’s been in a lot of magazines but I don’t know much about her personally. I just found her on Twitter and Facebook (I usually just follow blogs) so hopefully I’ll get to see more about her as an artist.
3. What is your favorite blog article?
My favorite article would have to be one she did recently about the inspiration to shoot reality. It was a fashion shoot where several vendors got together to create this beautiful master piece. It was an idea that Style Me Pretty approached them about doing and I think it turned out amazing.

4. How did you find Agnes?
I have no clue. I probably was looking for higher end shooters in Jacksonville to assure myself that I could make the same money down there as I could here in Chicago. I’m still not so sure if I’ll be able to, but that might have been where I found her. I don’t know though…
5. If you could ever meet Agnes, what would you want to learn from her?
I think I’d love to learn to see fashion from her perspective, see how she works with her models, her brides, etc. It would be awesome.
So to Agnes, thank you for being one of my fashion inspirations! I hope to some day meet you when my husband and I move back to FL! I’m not sure if you’re part of Pictage or if you go to the PUG meetings, but if so, I hope to see you there! Happy 2010! Rock on!
