Day 2 wrapped up on Sunday, and after catching up on some stuff for my current clients, I was able to finish some of the images from day 2. But first and foremost, I want to give a HUGE thanks to everyone that was involved in making this all possible. We had a total of 7 attendees, most were already photographing weddings in Calgary and also portrait photographers that needed take their skills and business to the next level. Thanks for letting me inspire you and trusting me to help you be better at what you love do. You guys are my first ever JTI alumni, and I will never forget you guys.
I also want to thank the Leanne Whitechurch and the staff at the Hotel Arts for accommodating us. Your hotel is awesome and hopefully I will get to photograph a Calgary wedding there one day soon.
Narisa Walji at New York Fashions graciously allowed us to borrow a stunning wedding gown that our model Kim wore on the first day. Thanks so much Narisa!!
We also had Heidi and Star from Derks hooked us up with 2 awesome tux’s for the guys. If you anyone needs a tux, you have to check out the selection they have at Derks. You’re guaranteed to find something you like.
Thanks also to Tessa Boutin for doing the makeup for all 3 girls. You did a great job and I highly recommend Tessa for anything makeup! I have been lucky enough to work with Tessa a few times. I did the wedding photography for her friends last year.
Last but not least… our models!! They worked so hard. No one really understands how draining modelling can be until they try it. We worked our models hard, but I am sure they all loved every minute of it. Without you guys this wouldn’t have been possible. Thanks so much for volunteering, I love you all so much!
Here are my shots from day 2 (except the first image) of Ginelle and Chris. These 2 are still as much in love as they were on their wedding day and showed it! Again, I didn’t shoot as much as I would have loved to, but I had to allow everyone time with our models so they can improve on their photography.
In case you are wondering, I don’t have any plans to do another JTI wedding photography workshop in Calgary anytime soon. It’s wedding season now and I have to take care all of the awesome clients I have this year. Hopefully I’ll be back with another JTI workshop sometime later this year and possibly somewhere else… (Vancouver anyone?).
I hope you like the photos!

After a lot of requests from many photographers here and there, I have finally put together my first workshop on my own. In the past several years, I have attended many workshops myself to help me get to where I am today. Without these workshops, I am sure I would still be stuck in a rut. I have been inspired by so many amazing photographers and now I hope to inspire others. I will be bringing a lot of knowledge and experience to my workshop to help fellow photographers get to where they need to go.
It will be a 2 day workshop held on June 13th and 14th at the Hotel Arts downtown Calgary. If you haven’t been to the hotel, it’s simply an amazing venue. The hotel has been completely updated with many great shooting opportunities throughout the hotel. Since it’s in downtown Calgary, we will have lots of opportunity to shoot outside too.
The first day of the workshop we will talk about your goals and how you can get there. We will talk about technique, composition and posing. After that we’ll go shoot our hot and sexy models in and around the hotel. You will get to watch me shoot and then you’ll get a chance to shoot as well.
On day 2, you will bring in your shots from the shoot and we will do a critique. After the critique I will show you my workflow that should help most people spend less time on the computer and more time enjoying life. We will end the day with some business talk. I will cover things like branding, client relations, albums and selling your work. This part will be the part that will help your business grow. I will show you how I have increased my sales with some simple techniques. Once we complete that, we will go on another shoot with a model and this time we will shoot outdoors. I love shooting outdoors, and I will show you how to make amazing images in our surroundings. After the shoot we can all go out for a group dinner or some have some drinks to wind down.
I really want to make my first workshop a successful one so I am putting all my heart and soul into this one. I am limiting the workshop to 12 photographers to ensure everyone has a chance to shoot and ask questions.
Workshop cost: $750 per photographer
Payment: Visa, MC, Cheque or Cash
$375 reserves your spot!
If you prefer to pay over the phone, you can call me at (403) 620-3673.
MODELS
As of right now I have 4 models confirmed. I expect to add 2 more models so that everyone has ample opportunity to work with our models. When more models are confirmed, it will be updated on this blog.
Day 1 Models:
I am sure most of you have seen Rebecca and Vedran on my website before. They were one of my couples from last year. Rebecca was more than happy to get back in her dress and step in front of the camera again. She also easily convinced Vedran as well. They will be our real life couple whom we will shoot on day 1.
Also on day 1 will be Ginelle! Ginelle mentioned to me she loved being in front of the camera when we worked together. She really wanted to try modeling and wanted to wear her dress again, so the decision was easy to ask her to model for us.
Day 2 Model
Our day 2 model is stunning Kim Beaudin. She has walked the runways of New York and Calgary. Kim has also done ads in Wedding Bells and she is going to be a huge pleasure for every one to work with.
