The first ever FPPF Wedding Photography Workshop is now in full swing at the FPPF Art Chamber 2 in Intramuros, Manila. It started November 17th and will end tomorrow, November 20.
The 4-day workshop is being conducted by FPPF mentors headed by two of the country’s top wedding photographers Chito Cleofas and Jomel Gregorio, ably backed by FPPF’s Joseph Galian, Vic Sison and Frando Culata.
Today’s workshop activities included a simulated wedding ceremony at the FPPF Art Chamber, with models as bride and groom, flower girl, sponsors, etc. There was even a real priest, FPPF friend Father Artur Chrzanowski, SDS, not to officiate the simulated wedding but to see to it that the proper decorum and ceremonies were properly observed. FPPF instructor Dennis Araneta stood in as priest.

Jomel and Joseph gave the participants valuable pointers and tips on how to shoot a wedding successfully, where and how to position themselves, what to watch out for and when to capture decisive moments in emotion-laden events like the wedding.
The wedding photography workshop drew 15 participants, with one participant coming in from Butuan City and another from Cotabato City in Mindanao.
The first day featured top wedding photographer Chito Cleofas who delivered his own lectures on shooting nuptials, the second day had Vic Sison for product shoots of the arrhae and bridal accessories. Third day was the bridal shoot with top professional wedding photographers Jomel Gregorio and Joseph Galian. The 4th day will feature graphics artist Frando Culata with his post process techniques on wedding photos. The wedding workshop is the brainchild of FPPF Project Director Lito Beltran, who personally oversees the whole workshop.
The next wedding photography workshop is planned for February 2010.
