About this Event

Joe and Mirta Barnet have spent over 20 years developing their style and growing their wedding, portrait and commercial photography business in California. In this workshop, the Barnets will share their knowledge and skills, covering the full scope of wedding photography.


This comprehensive, 7-hour workshop (not including a 30 min. lunch break) is divided into 3 main sections; Business, Gear/Shooting, and Post Production. Starting with the business side, the Barnets will cover marketing, social media, pricing, contracts, sales, the best photo equipment for wedding coverage and much more.


After a short lunch break, the class will photograph models, a couple in “engagement session” attire. Instructors will cover camera settings, lighting, posing and client communication. Then it is back to the classroom to go over post production with Photomechanic, Lightroom, Photoshop, Alien Skin and Fundy Designer. This workshop also includes the topic of album design and album up-sales.
