What an amazing experience! The workshop was small with lots of personal attention. Mark’s workshop gave me new inspiration and fresh ideas, as well as solid business and marketing tips that really helped take my business to the next level. I can’t imagine where my business would be today had I not attended his workshop!” Thanks, Amber “I just wanted to say THANK YOU for the workshop and letting us pick your brain! It was truly inspirational and I can’t wait to apply some of your techniques the next time I’m out shooting. The lesson on finding light during the shoot was really helpful… I’ve been told that looking for light is important, but there’s nothing like hands-on experience (and a ‘coach’ to guide us) to really understand what that means. “ Yuri Add us on Facebook or Twitter Are you on Facebook or Twitter?

We had a great workshop last weekend, one thing I love about teaching workshops is sharing my passion for photography with others and in the process of everything learning and growing myself. Every time I write down some new notes and ideas to share with others I learn more and more myself. After 10 years of shooting weddings I always am looking for new and creative ways to photograph and the more I share my passion with others I get more and more inspired.

With the busy season now we don’t have another workshop coming up for a few more months but will have one in August, check out our workshop page at:

We had a couple awesome models that helped out last minute and here are a few shots from the shoot:

I love to share my passion for photography and to teach.  I think one day when I “retire” (I love to work so will never really stop working, just one day I am sure I will slow down a little with weddings) I would love to just teach photography.  Some of my teachers in High School photography and college made a big difference in my life and helped me to be the photographer I am today.  

We have been having workshops here in the studio for about 2 years now and I really enjoying sharing what I have learned over the past 9 years doing weddings with others.  This summer was so busy with weddings that we couldn’t do any workshops but are going to be revamping our workshop site soon with new info and dates.  I’ll post more info on the blog later when the site is redone, so check back later.

Our workshop site can be found here:  http://www.workshopsfromtheheart.com

Our workshops are very affordable and packed with a full day of information, so anyone interested in doing weddings and portraits or wanting to take their business to the next level check them out.

Wedding Photography Workshops

Also as a side note, I know there are a lot of workshops available for photographers today.  I have attended many in my  years of business, some which were very  helpful and others which were not.  Some photographers seem to focus more on workshops than weddings and really have little wedding photography experience.  If you are thinking about attending any other workshops I would first ask the photographer a few questions like how long they have been in business, how many weddings do they shoot per year… just to get an idea of really how successful they are as a photographer. 

More info to come later!
