Real Indian Wedding Workshop- Bride Getting Ready at the Crowne Plaza Cherry Hill, New Jersey

For those that don't know, I've been doing REAL wedding workshops for years as a means to help photographers out there gain experience at great venues with wonderful clients.  In July of 2016 I had the opportunity to do a real indian wedding and hold a workshop at the wedding.

 

Why would clients agree to let me hold a workshop (where I bring photographers to shoot the wedding)?  The way the real wedding workshops work is that I give a discount to a wedding client in exchange for them allowing me to bring photographers along to shoot the wedding.

The photographers are allowed to use the images for their portfolio which is a huge boon for them to be able to bolster their portfolio at a great wedding that most of them would otherwise not be in a position to shoot.

The photographers have to obey rules set forth that makes sure the wedding goes off without a hitch including the way they act, the clothes they wear, even going as far as where they can stand during the wedding.  So far it's been a win-win as both the wedding clients and workshop attendees have benefited from the experience.

So I had a beautiful wedding couple to shoot, Akshar and Arti.  We first went to the bride's room where we did a shoot of Arti in her beautiful gown.  She is just one of the most stunning bride's I've ever been able to shoot.  The shots below were taken with the Sony A7Rii using the 16-35, 85mm G Master and the 35mm Sony Zeiss lens using the Rotolight Neo.

Indian Weddings- portrait of Aliya

This image was taken at a wedding of mine for Justin and Aliya 4 years ago in Chantilly, Virginia.  It is almost exactly 4 years to their anniversary, I can't believe it!  Well, when Aliya came out of her room and was ready to walk down the aisle, I had the great opportunity to be able to shoot her for about 3 minutes before she did.  I asked her to slightly look down and smile, and this is what I got.  Her wedding dress and veil were beyond gorgeous and her smile...well, it speaks for itself.

Next Workshops:

  • Morgantown, WV- October 22-24
  • Myrtle Beach, SC- November 6-7
  • Tampa, Florida- November 13-14

Camera settings: Nikon D3, 1/60 sec at f/5.6, 165mm at ISO 5000, flash did not fire.  Taken at 4:08pm on October 18, 2008 by Jason Lanier.

Aliya- Portrait of an Indian Wedding Bride

This is the latest video we've added to the website of Aliya Altafullah, moments before she was married.  Nothing is more beautiful than capturing an Indian bride getting ready for the ceremony, and I hope by watching this video you agree.  Aliya was a beautiful bride and we had so much fun shooting her and Justin's wedding day.  I hope you enjoy!
