Amore Workshop at The Mount Vineyard, Kent
Wedding styled shoots are one of the best ways for all wedding suppliers to showcase what they offer. There are so many incredibly talented people out there. When you put them together in one room and give them the freedom to do whatever they want, you can expect to see magical results. Sammy Taylor, a very talented fellow photographer with a great vision, leads AMORE WORKSHOPS. It was wonderful to be able to pick up the camera and meet other photographers after a little window of opportunity between the lockdowns.
The FerShop! with Fer Juaristi
The FerShop! is an inspiring wedding photography workshop with the Mexican wedding photographer Fer Juaristi in London. It was a wonderful day, with a great bunch of shooters. This was an opportunity to hang with Fer, hear how he does things and how he and his pals changed the wedding scene in Mexico, and to watch him shoot and edit. This workshop focused on seeing how Fer likes to use hard direct sunlight for bold, sexy contrast and clever framing. He was hilarious at employing his personality to get laughs to get the best out of the models.
