Want to be a Wedding Photographer, but need a portfolio?
Existing Wedding Photographer, but want to improve your technique/style or expand your portfolio?
At Viva Photography, our one day Wedding Photography Course will provide you with the essential tools to start, or improve your wedding photography business. Every new wedding photographer faces the same problem, you can't get the work without a portfolio, but you can't build a portfolio without the work! We solve that problem for you, by providing you with the resources to build your portfolio from scratch, or improve your current portfolio with this exciting and informative one day hands on workshop.
We have combined a day of tuition, with providing bride and groom models at a variety of locations so that you can get experience and create great photos. The locations that we will be shooting at are really stunning, such as Thornton Manor and the Hilbark Hotel, so that you’ll leave with a large collection of images to demonstrate your new-found abilities. We have both professional and amateur models on each course, so that you get a real life experience. The professional models have the experience and will pose naturally for you, but the amateurs will be expecting you to direct them, just like a real bride and groom would be on a real wedding day. You will therefore gain experience in posing, composing shots, lighting, etc. so that you can shoot a wide range of wedding images to take away with you.
We have use of a beautiful local church, and two high-end wedding receptions venues to shoot at, both inside and out. There are only a maximum of 12 people on this course, so you have lots of shooting time and will receive a lot of individual attention from your tutor(s). Each photographer will get individual time to shoot photos with the models. If there are more than 8 delegates, then there will be two tutors and the course will be split into two groups.
