Momenta Workshops is proud to work with Love Life Images award winning team to offer this exciting and innovative four-day-intensive workshop for professional photographers who want to branch out into wedding photography. This is the only hands-on workshop of its kind on the East Coast. Momenta students will cover three lucky couple's weddings in a pro-bono exchange for close access to couples on their big day.

Three teams of three students will document three different real, live weddings under the tutelage of The Knot recommended photographers from Love Life Images. This is not a mock-up or a faux wedding but an event with real couples, real clients, real guests, real moments and a real impact on your wedding portfolio.
