Course Description:

So you've been asked, volunteered, drafted or possibly cornered into shooting a friend or relative's wedding. Or maybe you're thinking about doing it as a wedding present. Photography can be one of the largest expenses for a wedding, especially in the high priced metropolitan areas. If you are an amateur with single friends or relatives and have a decent eye for photography, sooner or later you will be asked to shoot a wedding.

This class is intended to be a "Survival Guide" for the non-professional who will be shooting a wedding for the first time. It's overwhelming to conquer this by yourself. You only get one shot at it, but we can help prepare you. This class is a mixture of both classroom learning & hands-on experiences in a local church.

Topics Covered:
  • What to expect from a wedding
  • Equipment
  • Coordination with the bride & groom
  • How to practice beforehand
  • What to look for
  • Where to stand
  • Staying on track
  • Anticipating the events
  • Post-wedding work

This is a second level course. Students must have taken the Fundamentals of Photography class, or its equivalent, and have a working knowledge of their camera.

Students who have completed IPC's Fundamentals and Wedding classes can apply for our Level 3 Wedding Experience, which provides students with hands-on, real-world experience shooting an actual wedding.


"The Wedding Photography Class was awesome! It helped me understand how much work goes into shooting a wedding, as well as how many different lighting situations to be prepared for. I appreciate learning about the business side of weddings and the hands-on practice with a model! Thanks for another amazing class Indy Photo Coach!" -Jill Reid, Recent Student
