Styled Shoots are basically playdates for photographers.  There’s a purpose, and a lot of work goes into hosting one, and it’s a lot of fun!  Last year I attended one that Amanda Hedgepeth hosted with Hannah Hildebrand Events.  Everything about it was just gorgeous, and we had the added benefit of dinner and a Q&A afterwards.  It was a lot of fun taking the time to test out new techniques for shooting, arranging everything exactly how I wanted, and having plenty of time to pose the bride and groom and take pictures from different angles– all things that happen super quickly on the wedding day.  Enjoy!
