This year, we were honored to be asked by the New Hampshire Professional Wedding Photographers Association (NHPPA) if we'd like to teach a day long seminar on wedding photography to other professional photographers. We accepted and were among seven other courses offered to the NHPPA by the NHPPA in a series.
We taught our class at Marilyn's studio in Hampstead, NH and had a field trip to her house where Laura, one of our beautiful brides from this season and three of her friends so graciously staged a pre-wedding scene. The attendees of our class were able to see what it's like arrive the day of the wedding when the girls are all getting ready and photograph the moments and create portraits of the bride.
Other highlights of the program included the importance of “branding” your business and explain how using graphic design to create your wedding business identity has benefited them. We discussed the importance of planning ahead and shared our team coverage approach. We concluded the day by sharing the efficiencies of our editing process, showed the benefits of adding Adobe Lightroom into the editing process, as well as some time-saving automation tips in Photoshop. The day was wrapped up with a review of our creative design process for our award-winning albums.
Special thanks to Dennis from Avalon Editions for sponsoring our morning break, Maria at Freshwater Flowers for creating the beautiful bouquet and of course Laura and her friends for volunteering their time to be our models.
