Shoot a real wedding with Pulitzer Prize Winning Photojournalist Kelly Guenther
Wedding workshops today tend to emphasize the business of wedding photography from workflow to marketing and skip over what really matters: making intimate, meaningful photographs that capture the true spirit of the wedding day. In our workshop you'll shoot side by side with Pulitzer Prize winning photojournalist Kelly Guenther as she documents the real Indian wedding of Divya and Dan. You will have the rare opportunity to learn hands on what true wedding photojournalism is all about: The Art of Being Invisible.
This workshop is geared towards recent photography school grads and professional photographers with less than 3 years experience who are looking to start a wedding business and want to build their portfolios. Space is limited to 5 photographers.
