For the second time in three years I have been asked to speak at the Wedding Planning Excellence seminar, an annual event organised by the United Kingdom Alliance of Wedding Planners (UKAWP).

UKAWP is the leading industry body for wedding planners in the UK and has a membership which includes some of the best planners in the country, they offer training and support for both aspiring and experienced wedding planners. Over the last 5 years or so I have been fortunate enough to photograph many of the organisations seminars and events and also to work alongside some of their members at my weddings.

WPE’12 takes place over two days at the beginning of March and this year is being held at 51 Buckingham Gate in central London. The other speakers will be experts from the wedding industry and also from the fields of business, social media and IT, hopefully providing the delegates with some insight and motivation to carry forward into their own businesses.

I’m going to be talking to the delegates about post-processing; what happens to the wedding photographs when they come out of the camera and go into the computer. As photographers know, once the wedding day is over there is still a lot of work to do before the finished wedding photographs are delivered to the bride. Starting with the ‘straight out of camera files’ I will illustrate how I adjust, crop and, occasionally, retouch to produce the final collection.

If you’re a wedding planner and you’d be interested in attending there are still a few places left. You can book online at this page on the UKAWP website.
