Wedding Workshop
Beyond the Frame
A wedding is the most important day of two people’s lives. How it gets told back to them matters.

That’s the pressure and the privilege of this work. This workshop isn’t about learning another lighting trick or memorizing a shot list. It’s about learning to see a wedding day as a story and finding your own voice in how you tell it.
Over the course of the day, we’ll cover:
- Reading a wedding as it unfolds, so you’re anticipating moments instead of just reacting to them
- Building your own creative approach instead of copying someone else’s style
- Composition and framing as storytelling tools, not just technical checkboxes
- Shooting on location with a real couple
Limited seats available.
