Fine Art Wedding Seminar @ Annabel Williams Studio

These images are from last weeks seminar we hosted at CPT, The Annabel Williams Studio. It was a very interesting day which started with waking up to thick cloud and very heavy rain which wasn't a good start! When I arrived at the studio I was told that two delegates couldn't make it due to an accident blocking their route - also the models we had lined up couldn't make it due to illness - not a good start!

Luckily the gorgeous Rachel was on hand to step in and wear a stunning wedding dress and we also organized a groom at the last minute so everything went smoothly in the end! Even though it was quite cloudy and grey we still managed to find some fantastic light both indoors and out.

This seminar was a first and was a great success, with some very positive feedback so we hope to run it again in 2010.

Love this one - on camera flash!

Digital Wedding Seminar @ the new CPT

I couldn't wait to do this blog post as I had such a great time last week at the NEW Annabel Williams Studio!  I was fortunate enough to be the first trainer to host a seminar there (I felt honoured!) also my very good friend Stew Randall was the last person to host a seminar at the old studio which was cool!  I always liked the old studio and I shall miss it's charm, but the new one is unbelievable!  It's on three floors with glass all around so the natural light pouring in is beautiful, also there is a roof terrace which again is amazing for photography.  All together its a much more slicker building to be in.  The seminar I host is called the digital wedding, and day one is all about developing a style of photography that will wow your clients whilst putting tools in place to work efficiently under the pressures of a wedding day, then day two is all about digital workflow and making your images come alive in post production.  I had such an amazing time at this seminar as the sun was shining (always good!) and our models, Kate & Charlie were amazing!  At times they held some pretty uncomfortable poses for some time so everyone could get a great shot!  Also we had a great group of delegates that were from all different levels in their photography and their businesses.  Below are some of my favourite images from the day and also there are a few images (the ones of me) from Andy Holdsworth who recently won the amateur category in the Annabel Williams awards.  It was a fantastic couple of days and it's always great seeing all the girls up north!  I look forward to our next seminar 'Fine Art Weddings' in December.
