So all of our participants will be able to create beautiful and authentic images.

10:00am - Welcome to photographers, introduction of instructors and discussion of the day’s timeline and events.

10:30am - Wedding segment hair/make-up and “pre-wedding” photography with bride and bridesmaids. Hair and make-up will be created by the amazing Aaris Kunesh, who is one of the most sought after beauty artists in the area.
