Professional photographer, Brian Terry, conducted a wedding workshop for the members of the group and friends recently. He talked about his style of wedding photography, and demonstrated during the workshop, some of his own wedding photography techniques that could be applied by both a main photographer, or wedding guest with a camera.

East Cork Camera Group hosted the event and were delighted to be joined by members of the Ballincollig and Fermoy Camera Clubs as well as one attendee who traveled all the way from Co. Wicklow to make it. All the details were planned with precision by group secretary, Karen Fleming so all the 25 photographers had to do was show up and shoot! ‘Bride’ and ‘groom’, hair stylist, make up artist, gown and suit, vintage car and chauffeur, hotel, church, flowers, rings and cake were all laid on and the weather held fine also. What more could we ask for?

The idyllic Bayview Hotel in scenic Ballycotton was the venue for the workshop where the ‘bride and groom’ got ready in one of the bedrooms while typical wedding preparation photos were made. Moving outside, the ‘couple’ were chauffeured to the local Star of the Sea church for the ‘ceremony’ by vintage car.

Following the ‘ceremony’, it was on to the cliffs for some environmental portraiture where a local German Shepherd puppy got in on the action! Then it was back to the Bayview for the ‘reception’, formal ‘family’ photographs and the cutting of the (cardboard) cake. Brian expertly demonstrated his style to the attendees who all got ample opportunity to exercise and hone their skills.

Thanks to Brian and to all concerned for a really fantastic day. Check back soon to review some of the images taken during the workshop but in the meantime enjoy some of the behind-the-scenes photos from the day in the slideshow below. All photos by Tom Tattan.
