📸 Ever missed “the moment” and wished you were just a second faster?
Whether you’re photographing a wedding as a guest, attending a family reunion, baby shower, or other important gathering, or considering stepping into event photography professionally, this free workshop will help you see moments before they happen — and capture them with confidence.
Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at how photographers successfully cover weddings and events in real time. We’ll walk through the flow of a wedding day, essential (and minimal) gear setups, working in tricky lighting, anticipating emotion, and telling the full story — not just the obvious shots.
You’ll also learn practical etiquette (how not to be “Uncle Bob”), how to move through an event without being intrusive, and why people skills often matter more than perfect settings. For those exploring professional work, we’ll touch on preparation, backups, contracts, and smart ways to gain real-world experience.
📷 Perfect for:
• Hobbyists attending weddings or events
• Photographers curious about weddings or event work
• Anyone wanting stronger candid, storytelling images
Come discover how to be in the right place at the right time — and create images that truly matter.
Workshop will be conducted by Erica Hilliard, an award-winning Pittsburgh area wedding photographer. In addition to being the recipient of the Keystone and Golden Quill awards, she has been globally ranked every year since 2022, having made the top 10 in 2023, and coming in 3rd in the US the same year.
