I have been a huge admirer of Lanny and Erika’s imagery and I was needing some “ooommff” in my images so attending their workshop was a no brainer. They were the only ones teaching what I wanted to learn. I was happy with what I was producing but I was not in LOVE with it… thank goodness I signed up because I fell in love with weddings all over again. Even today, with a lot of workshops to choose from, I would still choose them over everyone else because of their imagery, their reputation and the fact that they are two of the nicest people I know.
I got so much more than a “bag of tricks” to pull from for weddings. I really understood the reasoning behind what they do and how they approach wedding situations. When you start to document pivotal events at a wedding, the “why” is so important. Once I started understanding the “why” in wedding documentation, the how-to’s were so simple. I also got hands on experience at the workshop which to me is critical whenever I learn something new in order to retain the knowledge. Both Lanny and Erika were extremely helpful and patient when explaining their techniques and would review with anyone who was having some technical difficulty. Lastly, and I know it is such a cliche, I made some awesome friends from all over the world. When I got back on the plane to Ottawa, I knew I truly received a worthwhile experience that has helped push my wedding imagery beyond what I ever thought I was capable of.
