Bridal Workshop (Early Session)


Hosted by: Stephen Lanthier and Mike Giovinazzo

Location: Rockliffe Park Gazebo (off Aviation Parkway), Aviation Parkway, Ottawa, ON

Time/Date: Sat, May 14, 2011 · 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM EDT


Stephen Lanthier is your host this for this Meetup, assisted by Mike Giovinazzo.

We’ll meet at 2:00pm and Stephen will provide some guidance and tips for this type of shoot. During that time our “brides” will be getting a full hair and make-up treatment. Each bride will be a model personally selected to enhance your portfolio.

At about 6:00 we’ll proceed to photo-shoot mode where you can create beautiful images in a park environment. Perhaps even with a wonderful sunset later in the evening.

Model releases will be provided so you can add these images to your portfolios and websites. The target photographer to model ratio will be 3:1 so each gets sufficient shooting time. We’ll aim to finish by about 5:00 PM

The fees include the models, wedding gowns, hair, make-up, flowers, initial instruction, and access to portable lighting setup. If you wish to practice with your own lights/flash you are welcome to do so. To keep the fees down, we are also asking that each participant provide 3 or more fully edited high resolution images for the portfolios of the Model, MUAs and Stylists.

There is limited opportunity to grow this Meetup so reserve early if you are interested in improving your experience and enhancing your wedding portfolio.
