Capture Editorial-Style Wedding Images Anywhere
Editorial wedding photography is about more than good light—it’s about intention. In this hands-on Photo Walk, Jeff Chang will show you how to think like an editorial photographer on a wedding day. You’ll learn to find clean compositions in ordinary spaces, guide couples with small refinements, and use styling and details to elevate a frame. Jeff will also demonstrate how to shape light for mood, crop with purpose, and refine until each image feels polished and publication ready.
