A.M. Session | Beginners

A.M. Session

This ticket purchases your entry to the A.M. + P.M. sessions of the workshop. I'll teach you how to use your DSLR camera in manual mode, + you'll learn to plan each shot in order to use the best settings for your purpose! We'll practice shooting on stationary objects to get you the laid back + in-depth practice newbies need! You'll chow down on brunch provided by a local food vendor, + we'll head right into the P.M. session!

*Note: The P.M. Session is automatically included with your purchase of the A.M. Session to allow new photographers the opportunity to practice new skills all day long!

P.M. Session | Experienced + Intermediate

P.M. Session:

This session includes attendance to the afternoon portion of the workshop, which includes three styled photoshoots.

 

Here you'll have the opportunity to photograph detail shots in a bridal flat lay of rings, florals + an invitation suite, as you would if you were hired to shoot a real wedding. Following bridal details, we'll work through an educational session, practicing new posing techniques + experimenting with lighting before shooting a formal vow renewal on the beach.

Just before dark, we'll have ourselves a final styled shoot at sunset, as this is the most highly requested styled shoot by attendees + fellow photographers I've worked with!

Once our sun is gone for the night, we'll head back to our base + eat pizza catered by Everybuddies Pub + Grub!

If you've purchased the P.M. + Night Session combo ticket, you'll stick around after dinner for our cozy lil bonfire while Jake Aichele teaches us techniques to shoot long exposure astrophotography (of the stars) + lowlight fire photos.

Night Session | Long Exposure/Bonfire

Night Session:

This ticket can be purchased as a standalone, for photographers not interested in attending the rest of the workshop, or as a combo ticket which can be included with the A.M. or P.M. sessions

at a reduced rate.

During the Night Session, Jake Aichele will teach us how to utilize manual mode to create + capture photos with long exposure. While you'll have the opportunity to shoot a styled couples session while they get cozied up next to a bonfire, you'll also learn to shoot astrophotography (photos of the stars/sky!) 

When our work is done (or while we're working, let's be honest) we'll get down to the realllly important stuff + make some s'mores to top off our night.

Note: A tripod is 100% necessary when shooting long exposure photography at night, due to the natural shake of the body when holding a camera.
