Are You Afraid of the Dark?: A Belle Epoque Wedding Workshop with Jonny Draper Photography Training

As a wedding photographer, I have a very specific set of fears that are beyond my control: that the vicar/registrar/celebrant has very specific rules for me, that the weather won't cooperate and it will be impossible to even get the cute umbrella shots and that the ceremony room will be SO. DARK. and tricky to subtly light whilst staying unobtrusive (see above vicar fears). And the wedding industry is changing so much (in a good way!) in that weddings are now taking place year-round, not just in the super bright summer months, in unbeliavable locations and to stay relevant and current it's my job to continue expanding the tools in my toolbelt.

Bridal Chic in the City: A Manchester Northern Quarter Vintage-Styled Rock and Roll Bridal Shoot

I talk a lot on this blog about what a collaborative art wedding photography is - they involve so many creative wedding professionals coming together, each contributing their knowledge and experience to help create the most perfect day for you. One way that we keep those creative juices flowing, especially when wedding season begins to wind down, is by putting together styled shoots. If you've been following this blog for awhile you know that I LOVE a styled shoot and I've been so so fortunate to work with some of the very best vendors in the business.
