Have you ever wanted to get into wedding photography? This special course in London will cover a variety of skills you need to transform the magical moments of the big day into meaningful photos the bride and groom will love forever.
Over two photography classes split across consecutive says, you will learn how to shoot on location, how to plan, plenty of theory and some hands-on practice too. Pick up tips on planning for the unexpected and some more business-orientated aspects of the role.
Day one is all about theory, planning and business tips and on day two there will be a practical session. We will go to a church and use models to act as bride and groom so you can put everything you've learned into real photos.
During this wedding photography course, you will learn:

  • Key photographs and posing – how to direct your subjects for unforgettable images.
  • Challenges and how to deal with them – changing weather, difficult guests, limited time etc.
