Candid Wedding Photography

Candid Wedding Photography (specialisation)

This 3 weeks wedding course is ideal for anyone considering getting into wedding photography, or for those that may have shot a few weddings and would like to take things to the next stage. This course includes taking lively, romantic couple pictures as a pre-wedding shoot as well as candid wedding photography. There are many unforeseen circumstances that rear their head during a wedding shoot, which we will cover as well as many tips and advice on how to stay ahead of the game in this competitive but lucrative market.

We will spend a full half-day shooting with a bride and groom on different locations, to teach you how to really ‘see the light’! There is also a module to teach you all about style, what’s expected of you, and the un-missable shots. We can also arrange to take you to some live wedding for a while where you can take wedding pictures in actual wedding environment and learn on the job. Finally at the end of course, we’ll spend a few hours looking at Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, and how you can give your images an exciting look.

You’ll leave the course with some great portfolio material, a wealth of information on the business of wedding photography, and shooting and editing techniques to help really improve your work.
