Wedding photography shadowing for new photographers

WEDDING SHADOWING

Need real world experience? Working a wedding is the best way to learn! Come along and shadow me on a real wedding day as an assistant. Watch and learn as I manage the wedding day schedule, shoot details, portraits and candids in different lighting scenarios with and without flash. Make notes and jot down questions in your phone so we can debrief the week following the wedding and I can answer all of your questions about the day. My brides come first, so wedding shadowing will be presented to my clients for approval. Available dates are based on approvals.
