Documentary under a deadline

Wedding

Wedding photography

The discipline

Wedding photography is documentary work with one chance and no reshoots. We teach it as such: anticipation, positioning, and calm — the craft of being exactly where the day is about to happen. Posing is covered briefly; the real syllabus is nerves, light, and files that survive.

Workshops include a staged full ceremony, second-shooter drills, and a hard look at the business: contracts, backups, and delivery.

Departures

Field notes

Scout the room at the hour of the ceremony, not the hour of the visit.

Two bodies, two cards, two batteries. Redundancy is a vow too.

Photograph the guests watching; that is where the day lives.

Questions, answered

I've never shot a wedding. Can I start here?

Yes — the staged ceremony exists precisely so your first wedding isn't someone's actual wedding.

Is flash covered?

Yes, as a last resort and taught that way: bounced, feathered, and only when the room truly runs out of light.

Do you cover the business side?

Half a day: pricing, contracts, backup discipline, and delivery timelines. Unofficially, it is the half-day that pays for the workshop.
