We had an amazing night at the wedding workshop last weekend. We had so much fun capturing two couples. Our first couple was a vintage bride and groom and the weather, light, and location were perfect! I love teaching photography and inspiring new photographers to grown in their gifting and passion...teaching wedding workshops let's me focus on something I love to capture!
Every year I try and set time aside to host a workshop (or two) because I love teaching about photography and I love motivating people to develop their skill/craft in an inspiring way.
This year has been super busy and with a packed fall schedule I'm only offering one workshop. I'll be hosting a Wedding Photography FOCUSED Workshop on October 24th, 2015.
Ohh my goodness! I had such a great time teaching this group...I love it when people come ready to learn and have fun doing the stuff! Here's our class and our gorgeous models :)
This is my last FOCUSED Photography Workshop of the year and I'm really excited about it! There is nothing like sitting around my table with a hand full of photographers brimming with questions and getting answers that will improve their business! Doesn't that sound fun? This Workshop is available to anyone who has previously attended a NoemiPhotography Workshop and is interested in setting up or furthering their photography business.
Event: Roundtable Business FOCUSED Photography Workshop
Date: Saturday, October 20th from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM (CT)
Location: My home - even though my table is a rectangle.
Limit: 6 Attendees (I want to make sure we have enough time for everyone)
Cost: $199.00
Five summers ago I had several beginning photographers ask me if they could come alongside to watch everything I do and be able to ask all about it...I wanted to help but I didn't want to do all of that in front of a client so I started hosting and teaching FOCUSED Photography Workshops. And I've been teaching a few a year ever since and I love it! I posted the sneak preview earlier this spring but now I'm ready to tell you the details!
This year I'm going to do something I've never done before (which I totally love doing!) I'm going to do a Wedding FOCUSED Photography Workshop! This is going to be incredible.
Up to 12 people will be able to join the experience of two wedding stories. I have models lined up (2 couples - girls dressed in a wedding dresses and suits for the boys!) AND the whole focus of the workshop is to teach you about telling the story of love. "The big story" is the one we all understand and relate to...Cinderella meets her prince Charming. And "the individual story" is all learning the couple and telling their journey of love. Every couple is different! Your job as the photographer is to learn them and tell their story. (Seriously, THE greatest job in the world!)
Who should attend?
Aspiring and/or established photographers who want to freshen up their portfolios and learn new technical and creative photography techniques. *Specifically for photographers interested in understanding the business of weddings and desiring to expand their wedding portfolio. Learn how photojournalism works...how to tell the couples story through pictures!
Cost Includes:
- Over 5 hours of hands-on training with Noemi Hedrick
- Live styled models to add to your portfolio
- Signed model releases on file to ensure you have the rights to use the images you shoot
- Technical & Creative on the spot training
- Learn how to get consistently accurate exposures in changing lighting situations
- Interacting with models, natural posing techniques, capturing images with impact that will stand the test of time
- Q&A during and after shoot to discuss challenges
WHAT TO BRING?
Bring your digital SLR camera and a smile:)
Preferred lens is a 70-200mm to keep everyone at the same shooting distance so we don't get in each other's way. You can bring other lenses as long as you are considerate and avoid standing in front of other attendees during the shoot. All gear should be stored on your person to keep you mobile. Bring paper and pen for on-the-go note-taking.
Date - Saturday, July 28th, 2012 Time - 2:00p.m. - 7p.m. Location - Meeting Location will be emailed to attendees. Cost $149.00 (The cost includes the newly release E-book - $20 value) Level: Advanced (some prior knowledge of DSLR functions needed)
If you are a photographer interested in putting together a portfolio of weddings - this is for you! If you are just starting and weddings are what you eventually want to do - this is for you! If you just graduated from film school but want some hands on experience - this is for you! If you want to have fun and learn more about telling a story with your camera - this is for you!
I have 2 gorgeous Cinderellas and their handsome princes lined up to captured by you! I can't wait! Probably going to be my favorite Workshop to date so I hope you can come.

This lovely couple came out in the pouring rain and were incredible sports as I taught the Practical Photography Workshop and photographed them! Hopefully the pictures aren't too wet!
When I was 19 I went to School of Ministry in Toronto, Canada...that was 17 years ago. CRAZY! I made some incredible friendships that still exist today! I'm so thankful for the shaping years. What I learned about the Lord during that time really set the foundation for who I am today. Andy was in the school with me and I persuaded him to drive up and bring the family so they could be my models for the workshop! Brace yourself for the cutest curly hair ever!
I have several inquiries about Focused Photography Workshops for 2012 and I'm so pleased! I love teaching photography workshops and I hope to continue for years and years. I'm working hard to put together a schedule and description of each workshop to help you better plan (and get excited) for what's to come. We sold out of the last couple of workshops that I did in 2011 so if you're planning on coming please register sooner then later. I keep the class sizes smaller to make sure you get the most out of the workshop!
