Wedding Photography Course in London
Wedding Photography Course
This one-day introduction to wedding photography is a vibrant, realistic intensive workshop aimed at amateur photographers who would like to take the first steps into the wedding photography industry.
This is a superb opportunity to experience and tackle each individual episode of a typical wedding under the guidance of our wedding photography tutor, Aga King.
The course is distinguished by its design, being constructed around real-life episodes and the photographic and logistic challenges that all weddings present to the photographer.
It is expected that by the end of the day you will have not only a far deeper insight into the dynamics of a wedding and how you, the photographer might respond to these events, but also, and consequently, come away with far more confidence and a much clearer idea of what to expect from your first wedding commissions.

Great introduction to Wedding Photography
Although the course is designed very much as a proactive workshop with constant discussion and analysis of relevant issues, it is also highly structured and episodic.
During the workshop we will discuss most of the events taking place at a typical wedding, as well as practice some of them in real-life locations:
- Meeting the couple
- Bridal preparations
- Informal group shots in the morning
- Shooting the church, interior and exterior (details)
- Brides arrival
- Brides and bridesmaids entrance and walk up the aisle
- Shooting the ceremony including the exchange of rings
- First kiss
- Signing the register
- First couple shots in the church
- Leaving the church
- Confetti and general congratulation
- Group shots, Couple shots, Bridal shots
- Shooting the reception venue
- Entrance of the couple
- Informal table shots
- Cutting the cake, First dance and Party!
Each and every one of these episodes presents its own unique challenges both physical, logistical and, of course, photographic. We shall deal with each event in turn and through discussion, analysis and Aga’s broad experience as a documentary style photographer and portraitist.
You will gain invaluable knowledge, tons of top tips and great insight into what is really involved when we shoot a real wedding.
Our Wedding Photography Course is suitable for everyone – from beginners improvers to intermediate and advanced photographers. Wedding photography is an excellent skill to add to everyone’s portfolio.
You will learn everything on how to carry out a wedding photography session from start to finish.
If you are passionate about events and wedding photography, would like to build a portfolio of images and maybe become a wedding photographer,
— then this course is definitely for you!
The tutor for this course is a fantastic photographer Aga King.

The Wedding Photography course is one of our most popular workshops, but because we run it partly outdoors, it relies heavily on the weather. Therefore we don’t run wedding courses from October until March, as the weather can be quite cold and unpredictable.
Our wedding photography course normally runs from 10.00am to 5.00pm with a coffee break and around 30min for lunch. The course will thus run for around the same time as a typical wedding commission.
During the workshop, we will discuss most of the events taking place at a typical wedding, as well as practice some of them in real-life locations, such as a church, Parish Hall, church garden and a local park.
This is a very hands-on course and all participants can include the pictures taken during the course in their portfolios.
For the London wedding course, we usually hire a church in the South West London areas like Putney SW15 , Wimbledon SW19 , Barnes SW13 or Fulham SW6.
It is assumed that those attending will have a basic knowledge of photography and have an understanding of aperture, shutter speeds, ISO, or have already attended our Beginners DSLR or Intensive Beginner courses.
We recommend bringing a variety of lenses, a flexible zoom and some prime lenses. If you have a range of lenses please email us after making a booking and we will recommend the best lenses for this course.
All DSLR cameras, mirrorless and bridge systems from Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, Olympus, Panasonic, Pentax etc… are very welcome. Generally, any digital camera that allows manual exposure should be suitable for the Wedding Photography workshop.
If you’d like to double-check your camera suitability before making a booking or have questions about the course please call us on 020 8947 8118, or email [email protected]
