Jessica Claire’s workshop

I had a great opportunity to attend one of Jessica Claire’s workshops in Ladera Ranch. For those of you that do not know who she Jessica is, Jessica Claire is recognized as one of the Top 10 Wedding Photographer’s in the World by American Photo Magazine and has been shooting weddings around the world and has been in business for about 10 years.

She really lived up to that reputation and she showed why she was of the best wedding photographers around. Her workshop was very helpful and inspiring and she answered any questions that were thrown her way. She is truly a great photographer, super friendly and a wonderful person and I am excited to have met her.

The workshop was awesome!! Jessica covered alot of ground but was very open and helpful to everyone. One of the pluses for me, in this workshop is that she lives 2 minutes away from my place in Ladera Ranch. However, it still doesn’t explain why I was one of the last ones to arrive at her studio. Go figure.. Another plus to the workshop, is meeting and talking with other wonderful photographers from all over the world. I think, out of the 20 photographers that were present in this workshop, there were only three that were from California! Others traveled from outside of California, some from Canada and even a photographer visiting from Holland.

Here are the vendors that helped make the workshop a success!

I truly loved the vivid colors, unique settings and decorations! The location was also perfect since it provided soo many different looks and opportunities to shoot.

The couple (Braedon & Lindsay) was awesome to work with.. They looked so natural in front of the camera. The chemistry was amazing and you could truly tell they were in LOVE!!
