This past month I had the honor of attending a locally planned photography workshop put on by the talented Courtney and Cam from Courtney Liske Photography in Regina.  They organized 4 local photographers to teach about 10-15 photographers how they deal with different situations throughout a wedding day from bridal prep, to the reception.  It was amazing to listen to them and see how they get their final products.  Starr, Ali, Nicole and Jessica were all so sweet and helpful and I hope to second shoot with them someday! 🙂

It was such an encouraging day and I learned some new tricks and tips that I have already used in my sessions!  I can’t wait to use the advise in my upcoming wedding sessions!  Thank you Courtney and Cam for organizing this fun event!

Starr’s flat lays skills are off the hook! (Flat lays are photos taken above of a set of objects like an invitation suite with some objects related to the day.)

The groom’s face expression was priceless!

Ali gave us some great tips about photographing a ceremony!

The best kiss! 🙂

Nicole gave us some great tips about photographing a couple inside a church and how to find the best light if it was raining or to gross to be outside.  Side note, I love black and white photos!

Nicole also took us outside to give us some pointers of photographing in harsh sun.  She also gave us some tips on how to photograph wedding parties and more info on how to photograph the couple.

Here is a behind the scenes photo of how we got this epic photo of the groom.  Thanks Cam for holding the reflector!

Nicole doing her thang! 🙂

Jessica gave us some great tips on reception lighting and even let us use some of her equipment!  It was so much fun to try some new techniques!
