THIS SHIP HAS SAILED

Rebecca Hansen Weddings is now First Mate!

Change is good.

This is a change that has been coming for a while. For the last year we’ve slowly been transitioning the business to a point where it’s run mostly by Chad. That being the case, I didn’t feel right having my name on it anymore, and thus First Mate was born! We are both so happy with the way things are and hope our clients (old and new) are happy too.

It’s been a year of transition for the Hansens with little Jane coming into our family. We’re so happy she’s here and we love her to pieces. As a mother of two now, I don’t really feel the desire to be at weddings every weekend during the summer, nor is it possible. There are just more important things for me to be doing. I go on to better things and pass most of my torch to Chad! In case you all weren’t aware, he’s been running the show for most of this year, as I said before. That means shooting as well. A good portion of the work you see on this blog was done by Chad. I will still be shooting a lot of weddings this year, but not nearly as many as previous years.

That being said, please head over to our new blog and site and poke around and bid Rebecca Hansen Weddings a fond farewell. See everyone over on First Mate!

Feet First NYC

rebecca — Mon, 05 Nov 2012 14:28:33 +0000

I can’t thank Rebecca enough for surprising me with a trip to the Feet First workshop when it came to New York this summer. If you haven’t heard of it, It is put on by Jesse & Whitney of Our Labor of Love, and Max & Margaux of Max Wanger Photography. It was amazing to learn from, and spend time with some of the nicest, most talented, most down to earth people I’ve ever met. They were an open book, and genuinely wanted us to take something from the workshop to help us grow as individuals and as photographers. I had a lot of fun over those 2 days, made new friends, learned more than I thought I possibly could, and walked away uplifted and inspired.

My advice: Don’t wait for Feet First to come to your town. When they announce their next workshop, do whatever it takes to be there.

Halloween Party- Style Me Pretty

I feel so lucky to have gotten to photograph this gem for Style Me Pretty. I’m not much of a Halloween person, but their gorgeous Halloween dinner party inspiration has converted me. There are some fun DIY projects that go along with this shoot that you can do here to make your Halloween party just as amazing. Check out their post on the party for more pictures as well!
