Jasmine Star Workshop: Sydney

I have been blogstalking Jasmine Star for a couple of years and am amazed by this photographer who has had phenomenal success and has been working in wedding photography for less than 4 years! When it was announced that she was coming to Sydney to conduct one of her workshops I jumped at the chance! I missed out on the first round as I was in China and missed the announcement by a day or two (yup I was reading her blog on my ipod touch in our hotel lobby in Beijing and that is where I sent off the workshop request!) but was lucky to get offered a place in the second workshop!

So on January 10th I flew the midnight horror from Perth to Sydney and attended the day workshop on the 12th and it was so worth it! It was held at the Cruise Bar Sydney which overlooked the harbour and for an out-of-towner I have to say that it was a spectacular sight and made me happy just to look out at the Sydney Opera House and the signature green and yellow ferries heading out to Manly. The woman behind the workshop coming to Sydney was Cathy Crawley who did and extraordinary job organising both the days and perfecting all the details.

The afternoon session included a photoshoot of three beautiful models, the gorgeous couple Allana & Karim and Kara. The wedding dressers were provided by Catherine Colubriale and the flowers provided by Daisy Chain Florists. I just loved the fluffy layers on Allana’s dress. Ok that might not be the technical term…

The day was definitely not about the photo shoot, we were there to learn how Jasmine achieved such success, her workflow and hopefully pick up some tips but it was very fun, even when we were almost shutdown by the port authority at the Rocks…
