Wedding Photography - Tricks of the Trade

Have you been asked to take photos at a Wedding?

Is this you? You love taking photographs! In fact, your friends say that you are pretty good at it. They are so impressed with your photographs they have asked you to take the photographs at their wedding!

But wait!

You have never photographed a wedding before! Where do you start? What shots do I need to take? How do I pose the couple to make them look fantastic on their wedding day? Where do I stand to get the best shots? What equipment do I need?

Wouldn’t it be great if you could ask these questions and many more to a professional wedding photographer with over 35 years experience shooting weddings? Now you can… Introducing my new Online Wedding Photography Class…

A Practical Guide to Wedding Photography

There are plenty of Wedding Photography Courses – many from high-profile “Rock Star” photographers. They feature beautiful models in beautiful locations – a far cry from what many of us will face when photographing local weddings.

What makes this class different is that we offer practical advice using examples from real weddings. No over-stylized shoots that take hours to arrange – that is just not practical on a typical wedding day!

As you work through the class, your instructor, Paul Crawford, a professional wedding photographer, will give you the Tricks of the Trade – helpful tips he has picked up over the past 35 years of shooting weddings.

From preparation for the wedding day, tips for getting the best shots at key moments throughout the wedding to advice on post-production, digital workflow (save you hours in front of the computer!!) and opening his contacts book with the names of the best suppliers in the business for Wedding albums and other products for your couples.

This is NOT a class for learning how to work a camera! We have another class for that! You shouldn’t even consider photographing a wedding if you don’t know the difference between a bus stop and an f-stop! This class is aimed at helping you with specific issues and techniques associated with Wedding Photography.

“Paul was excellent. He has a relaxed way about him, and you can be certain he will answer any question. There is no sense of him hiding things, or holding things back because he wants to protect his niche. I liked the fact he had a lot of experience to draw on when answering questions”

“Paul was so knowledgeable and an expert in this field, he made the entire class worthwhile and of great benefit to anyone considering starting a wedding photography business”

“Very honest and informative teaching which was refreshing”

“Great patience in answering my many questions, with knowledgeable answers clearly drawn from years of experience”

Meet the Instructor – Paul Crawford

My name is Paul Crawford and I have been a full-time professional photographer for the past 35 years. I know, I don’t look old enough! But I did start very young and I have used a lot of Photoshop in this picture! 😉

It has been a privilege to have been asked to photograph well over 1400 weddings during that time. There isn’t much I have not seen during a wedding day!

I am a Past President of the Professional Photographers Association of Northern Ireland and gained my Associateship in Wedding Photography from both the Master Photographer Association and the Irish Professional Photographers Association, winning several awards along the way for both my Wedding & Portrait Photography.

I still really enjoy taking photographs at weddings, shooting around 20/25 each year.

Most of my time is now spent running my Photography Academy, helping others improve their photography. I am also the founder of PhotoClub247.
