ABC's April Meeting

It's All About Photography!

We are featuring some of Michigan's Top Photographers. They will show you what is new in photography. Covering the following topics:

1. Bring your camera and learn how to take a better photo for your blogs and websites of the events that you do. It is not always possible for the photographer to take the photos that we want to showcase our work as consultants, since they are with the couple.

2. What are the different styles of photography: artistic, photo-journalistic, storytelling, traditional, etc. You will see each style and know why each is important for your couples to use. You will learn how these photographers use each style.

3. You will learn the latest trends in Photography. You will also learn why engagements sessions are important for your couple to do.

4. You will learn what photographers want from their couples and their wedding planners. Remember at a wedding - we are all team players - we need to work together for the best wedding possible. We will also discuss timelines for photographers and how to make the day as stress free as possible
