I had the chance last year to attend an intensive wedding photography workshop conducted by two amazing wedding photographers Timothy Kaldas and Remon el Markiz.
It was a three full day workshop, covering the capturing techniques and compositions, direction of light, locations selection, the equipments for each shooting, and the key moments to focus on during the pre wedding, Portraits, and receptions. The workshop mainly focused on how to approach photographing the whole event as a storytelling experience.
Mohamed Abdelhamid make up artist and Mass hair stylist, were the guests of the pre wedding shooting, and they showed us how to approach the bridal preparation from their own experience, the dos and don’t, followed by a live shooting, then a photo critique session, and I really leant a lot. We also had a real couples shooting session, indoors and outdoors. The workshop was very professional, very cheerful, and I had so much fun.
And from my personal experience in shooting such events, my favorite part will always be the preparation hours before the wedding.
