This fall I was one of 20 photographers from around the world to attend a wedding photography workshop in Venice, Italy.  The workshop was hosted by Yervant", an Australian photographer who has hosted seminars around the Globe.  I was one of three photographers formt he United States, and the workshop truly gave me an international perspective on wedding photography.  This workshop provided me the opportunity to create romantic images of Brides and Grooms in the most romantic city of the world.  The workshop finished with a tour of Graphi Studio in Arba, Italy where they manufacture The Wedding Book and gave me the opportunity to speak with the employees that produce the wedding albums for our customers.  I hope you enjoy some of the images from my Venice Experience, and please feel free to leave your comments.
