Lions, as we all know it, are the huge and fearsome predators that rule the jungle. The Lyons, whose workshop I attended last month, are equally huge but awesome wedding photographers that should rule the world! ok, maybe not the world, but they are huge and they are viciously good. While I would be awed to see lions up-close, it's nothing compared to being up-close with the lyons, Amelia and Justin, as a participant in their wedding photography workshop (The Lyon Shop), where they share everything, and that means everything, that they know in creating out-of-this-world-beautfiul photographs. 

The workshop was intense. There are slots for only 15 attendees (I begged to be #16 when the schedule fell right smack on my US trip) to ensure maximum exposure, focus, and fun! =) An unbelievably packed experience all in one heck of a day in the stunning Laguna Beach. Best part of it? Everyone agreed with Justin to give the free copy of the TRA 2: The Revenge to the person who travelled the farthest, and the only one that will beat a person from the Philippines is someone from Papua New Guinea. hahaha =) Of course I have photos to share as evidence =) Enjoy. Neat! handmade materials with the Lyon brand ;) Amelia, all set to shoot with her fave lens, the 35mm ;) Final reminders before we headed off... ... to this beautiful location outside for the first shoot. See Justin's vintage Canon strap? Looks circa '67 and it's totally kick-ass Workshopmates Nice angle of Amelia's nice angle See Amelia in this photo? This was the moment she shot her fave shot of the entire day ;) And apparently, Justin just shot his fave shot as well =) yeahbaby! lunchtime! Shoot # 2 Showing the correct exposure for a shot with an off-cam lighting... ... expose for the sky =) Oh and a nice dinner at Las Brisas to wrap everything up. =)

Strangely, this set is one of my favorites! I love the colors, the cute and interesting details caught on camera, the "feel" of the photos, and how you told a story...I love how it made me feel what you probably felt as a photographer attending a workshop like that. :o)
