[...] A recent post by a founding member of Bella Pictures, as well as an email from my sister-in-law got me thinking about knowing your photographer. I’ve always been aware of the relationship I have with a bride and groom, and if you think about it, photographers are unlike any other wedding vendor. No one else other than perhaps your maid of honor and best man will be around you as much as your photographer…not your caterer, your florist, your coordinator, your officiant, or your DJ. We stick to you like glue from the moment we arrive to the time you have a glorious send-off into the night. [...]

they are nothing without you Bob!

…and Jim H… seriously, is that all you can say?

I am not trying to start an argument, but after all that Bob wrote in his post all you can think of to write is that you are suspicious of comments about money. Well honestly, I am a photographer because I love what i do and what i give to the world and I learned a lot from Bob about paying it forward. You should really meet Bob & Dawn and maybe research their background more before you make such blind statements.

I’m always suspicious when people say it’s not about the money

Bob, after attending your seminars, I’ve had hard time associating your name with Bella, then Blue Studio… Glad I don’t have to think about it now. Rock on! See you around.

Bob, you are a talented man of integrity and high moral fiber. Your pursuit of mentoring the photographic industry and genuine concern to help others speaks to the nature of your intentions. Your departure from Bella is a devastating loss to them. It will be a great gain to our community as your time is freed up to continue developing your main mission in life. Bob, thank you for all your hard work, passion and vision.

Hmmmm…..these same concerns were expressed years ago by the professional wedding community. Bella’s lack of respect for the “professional” wedding community. It’s more than just making a buck. It’s about providing the best product and service without compromise.

It was inevitable.
