Hey everyone!
I remember getting ready to photograph my first wedding six years ago - I WAS SO NERVOUS!
No matter how much I searched online, all the knowledge I could find back then was really technical and talked about how to frame, how to shoot and how to edit. Nowhere actually covered how to approach a wedding day and what to expect. Being a wedding photographer is about so much more than just taking photos, and I wish I'd known that back then.Â
These are the videos I wish would have been around when I was getting ready for my first wedding.
I am going to talk you through an entire wedding I photographed last year, using 50+ examples of photos I took, and share with you how I approach each part of the day to take beautiful, unposed photos. I'm going to tell you how I took the photo and share the technical information behind the image.Â
The wedding I will be covering was featured on Rock My Wedding earlier this year!
I'm going to cover everything I know about:
1) How I organise myself for the wedding dayÂ
2) How I conduct my in-person meetings to get all the information that I needÂ
3) The mindset and guiding principles behind my candid, documentary-style approach
4) The equipment that I use and how I use itÂ
5) How I approach the entire wedding day, part by partÂ
Whether you are:
A confident and experienced wedding photographer with your own business and approach
Have never photographed a wedding before but feel comfortable around a cameraÂ
Have done a few weddings and you want to learn as much as possible
Simply curious about wedding photography and have an hour to spareÂ
I believe that you will find something in this course helpful!
Weddings are entirely unpredictable by nature, and I hope that by watching this class you will gain the tools needed to approach any situation with confidence.Â
