workshops

We’ll be focusing on how to become an ideal second shooter. Everything from what to wear, how to photograph the bridal party on your own, how to interact with wedding day vendors, on and off camera lighting techniques, how to add value as a second shooter and more.

If you’ve been wanting to get your toes wet in the wedding industry, if you have your own photography gear and a passion to learn, this is right up your alley. Make sure you email me with your official application so we can get to know you better!

So here I am. Doing just that. We all started somewhere.

We all had someone teach us the ropes, show us how to photograph a wedding party, carry three bouquets simultaneously and photograph cocktail hour like a pro.


The idea for this workshop started from a conversation amongst friends over tacos, margaritas and beer. A conversation about how much we rely on our second shooters during weddings and how we wish we could handpick who they are.

Yes! I’ll be bringing a professional team of vendors-rental furniture, hair and makeup, a real bride and groom dressed to the nines, florals and more! You’ll be able to use the images for your portfolio, website, social media and more. The only thing off limits will be selling or submitting your images to any print or online publication.

CAN I USE THE PHOTOS I TAKE AT THE STYLED SHOOT?

frequently asked

Unfortunately, no. I’ve planned for each and every one of you coming so payments aren’t refundable. Spots are transferable to individuals who complete an approved application. Email me if this situation arises.

I’VE FOUND OUT THAT I CAN NO LONGER ATTEND – IS MY PAYMENT REFUNDABLE?

While second shooter opportunities with me are not guaranteed, you will be armed with the skills and knowledge required to be a valuable second shooter should the opportunity arise in the future! I am always looking for reliable second shooters to add to my team!

DOES THIS MEAN THAT AFTER THIS WORKSHOP, I’LL BE ABLE TO SHOOT WITH YOU?
