Going to Jessica Claire's workshop in September was such an incredible experience for me. When I saw on her website www.jessicaclaire.net that she was going to hold her first ever workshop, I knew that I HAD to go. Who better to learn from than someone who's work I admire the most! I think Jessica's images are incredible and she is bursting with talent, skill, and style!
I got up at the crack of dawn and flew to Long Beach, rented a car, and survived the stop & go freeway drive to Jessica's studio in Ladera Ranch. Entering her studio, I was greeted by Jessica herself and a room full of talented & friendly photographers from across the USA! We spent the day learning from Jessica on many important aspects of the photography business, and were treated to a mock wedding shoot set up for the workshop that was so beautiful, we couldn't believe the details! If the Anthroplogie store could be translated into a wedding, this was it! The day ended with a delicious pasta dinner with Jessica & Jeff in their home, complete with brownies & ice cream!
The shoot started with the bride getting ready in a fabulous yellow bedroom that any girl would love, and then we went onsite to the Riley Wilderness Park for the mock wedding. It was surreal to be standing side by side with Jessica Claire shooting this gorgeous bride & groom, and having her answer my questions and give her opinions and tips.
If you ever have the opportunity to take a workshop from Jessica Claire... TAKE IT! You will love it! Jessica, I am so grateful for your encouraging, friendly and kind attitude. Thank you for a wonderful day and everything you did for us!
