Ashley Poisella, of Ashley Therese Photography, represents multiple unique perspectives that we have yet to cover on the show including the perspective of a woman in the industry. And though she might be less "seasoned" than some of our other guests, she is still so talented even at this early point in her flourishing career. And of course, we will talk about her boudoir sessions.... you don't want to miss this one!

We continue our summer photography series with guest host C&G Director of Events Krista Njapa and special guest photographer Todd France. Todd started his career as a photojournalist, photographing celebrities such as Jay-Z, Britney Spears, Diane Von Furstenberg, Kirsten Dunst, Wyclef Jean and Beyonce. His passion for strong narratives coupled with his experience made the transition into event photography a natural one. Todd will talk with us about his varied experience and how it has shaped him as a wedding photographer.
