Glencoe, one of the most iconic landscape photography locations in the whole of the Uk will be the location for our wedding photography workshop. The Glencoe workshop is designed to take you beyond simply photographing a couple in a beautiful location. We’ll look at how I use composition, lighting, posing and off-camera flash to turn a dramatic landscape into a wedding photograph with real impact.

The aim isn’t just to leave Glencoe with a portfolio of great images. It’s to understand how they were created so you can use the same techniques on real wedding days.

From our base at Tyndrum just south of Glencoe, we’ll have access to some of the best scenery the stunning Scottish Highlands afford and so many opportunities to explore composition, lighting and create unique and amazing images whilst learning new techniques.. Tyndrum is a small village just south of Glencoe and has several places to stay and eat making it an ideal base for our workshop. Most people stay in either the Muthu Ben Doran Hotel or Tyndrum Lodges, there is also a camp site and motor home park in the village.

Day One – April 12th

We plan on visiting waterfalls, mountain passes and overlooks, lochs and small lochans creating both epic vistas and elopement style photographs. We’ll meet in Tyndrum at 0930 finish around 1800 in Glencoe. Anyone wishing to stay on can join me for short landscape photography session

Day Two – April 13th

Join me for a optional landscape photography sunrise shoot at Kilchurn Castle before we return to the hotel to meet with the models and begin our day of wedding photography training  We’ll leave the hotel at 0900 to head to Glencoe and the stunning Glen Etive including the amazing waterfalls. We’ll finish our wedding photography at 1700

Attending a workshop isn’t just about creating stunning images, it’s the journey involved in creating these images and where and how we work out camera and flash settings so you can quickly and easily create similar images on a real wedding day.You’ll have access to our flashes and triggers for the off camera flash elements of the workshop (Canon, Nikon, Sony and Fuji). it is recommended you have your own flash for when we are shooting with on camera flash. We’ll also be using a variety of gels, grids and other modifiers from Magmod.

You’ll also have plenty of opportunities to guide and direct the models as we incorporate waterfalls, jetties and stunning mountain vistas in our photographs.
