Choosing the best Wedding Photography Workshop to attend each year is one of my favorite parts of running a photography business.  I’ve been following the work of Justin and Mary Marantz for a number of years a was very excited when one of their signature Walk Through a Wedding workshop dates worked with my schedule.  Walk Through a Wedding was a three day workshop with two days covering technical skills such as lighting and one entire day focused on the business part of being a photographer.  The featured colors were peach and mint, however the very talented designers at Carrie Wilcox Floral Design Studios also worked some intense corals & pinks into the bridal bouquets and tablescapes that took this summer styled shoot to the next level.

Justin and Mary are masters of black and white wedding photography.  Learning lighting from them made even the toughest of lighting situations feel like a breeze while seamlessly integrating both flash and natural light on a wedding day.

If you’ve followed Justin and Mary for long, I’m sure this isn’t the first time you’ve seen Atticus.  Atticus was named such a little guy back then!

I can’t get enough of those intense corals and hot pink garden roses!  Garden roses make a dramatic and unexpected addition to any bridal bouquet and definitely put the “summer” into Summer Wedding!

I can almost taste Great Aunt Ruth’s Pecan Pie from here!  I love seeing personal details worked into a wedding day.  There is no need to stop at vintage handkerchiefs!  The possibilities for personal wedding day touches in endless.

The first day of Justin and Mary’s Walk Through a Wedding Workshop was at Bill Miller’s Castle.  The wedding venue itself has tons of interesting details and is a notoriously tough location for lighting.

The location for the 2nd Day was along the beach in New Haven, CT near Justin and Mary’s home.

I’m absolutely in love with short wedding dresses and hope they become more and more common.
