Wedding photography gives a photographer the privilege of being around people at very intimate moments. We are invited in to capture the moments, moods and events that surround a wedding. It’s so much more than just the wedding ceremony; it’s the joy and tension that goes into that event and the celebrations that follow.

What now?
Adam Alex is also now working towards contributing to the industry by inviting his friend Nick Ghionis for a joint workshop in London this July.

Nick Ghionis and Adam Alex will be holding a full-on action-packed workshop where they will teach a compact, tangible two-day workshop, covering all the important aspects of wedding photography and running a successful business. The students will be shooting with live models, shown live editing and covering photographic topics such as posing, lighting, off-camera flash, video lighting, black and white image preparing for the wedding day and even album design. They will also be taught techniques to optimise sales through shooting and story telling and how they can affect after sales. The workshop will be lots of fun and very interactive for the students. It will be located in central London, where the students will walk through the streets in two classes, being shown how to shoot in everyday locations and how to work with a variety of lighting types. We are extremely proud to announce that the half day seminar sponsored by Graphistudio sold out 250 seats in 48 Hours! Due to the high demand for places on the workshop, we recommend you register as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.:
