Light & Story: Capturing Emotion Through Natural and Creative Light

Join me for a hands-on photography workshop that dives deep into the art of using light – both natural and off-camera flash – to create powerful, emotive wedding imagery. We’ll explore how light shapes mood, the role of shadows and highlights in adding depth, and how to use symmetry and reflection to enhance visual storytelling. I’ll walk you through my approach to documenting a couple’s day, sharing what I look for, how I compose scenes, and the techniques I use to create images that feel authentic and timeless. This workshop is designed to help you not only see the light but learn how I run my business successfully not including the digital files for any wedding, which you may find interesting.

Includes a photography photowalk around the hotel and a classroom.
