What to Expect
You can expect a full day of complete transparency as I will be an open book. I will lead an extensive and candid discussion, based from my 18 year journey of photographing weddings for couples from all over the world. You will gain an understanding of the art of curation so that your images resonate deeply with those clients you want to work with. How trust is one of the most important things in allowing you to shoot what you love. I will share my simple yet effective techniques for posing couples as well as thoroughly explain the reasoning behind each pose. How I look for light to enhance the drama and mood in an image and the techniques I use in camera to capture that. Moreover, you will have the opportunity to apply those very techniques, in a hands-on session with a real couple. This workshop is 18 years of ups and downs, trials and triumphs and I am here to share it all.
Gabe's workshop elevated my photography and how I think about light. Gabe spoke about his photography process from beginning to end, and left nothing out. He showed us how to capture meaningful connections from his clients and gave us hands- on experience doing it. The workshop gave me so many take away tools to be a better photographer and I am so thankful to have learned from Gabe! THANK YOU x100000 GABE! ~ Railene Hooper
Though I had never attended a photography workshop, I had a feeling Gabe’s ‘One Day Workshop’ would be pretty amazing, but I never imagined how profoundly it would change my business, the way I shoot, and the way feel about my work… In just a matter of hours, pretty much everything changed for me… In the best way possible. Not only did Gabe cover ground related to the technical and creative aspects of shooting (no question or topic was off limits, he was refreshingly open and honest), he also encouraged us to consider some huge questions that have helped me hone in on what sort of work I want to create… How I want people feel when they look at my images… I came away inspired and excited. Since taking the class, I have a confidence with shooting/showing the work that I love creating, and because of this, I have seen not just an increase in bookings, but a rise in booking the kind of clients I LOVE to photograph ~ Heather K.

I can confidently say Gabe’s One Day Workshop, was an unparalleled experience that transcended my expectations. Led by Gabe who is not only a master of his craft but also a passionate educator, this workshop truly transformed my approach to capturing the essence of love and connection on a couple's special day. One of the standout aspects of the workshop was its focus on the human element of photography. Rather than simply teaching technical skills, Gabe emphasized the importance of establishing genuine connections with couples to capture their unique love story authentically. I learned how to create a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere during shoots, allowing the couple's true emotions to shine through in every frame. The workshop exceeded all my expectations and left an indelible mark on my journey as a photographer. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking to elevate their skills and capture the true bond and connection between couples. Ten out of five stars without a doubt!!!! ~ Brittany West
I had the privilege of attending Gabe's workshop a few years ago, and it truly left a lasting impact on me. The experience was not only incredibly inspiring but also fundamentally changed the way I approach my craft. One of the most valuable aspects of the workshop was the invaluable knowledge it provided on using natural light and creating real art with clients. His passion for photography shone through in every aspect of the workshop, making it a truly amazing experience. I can honestly say that without his guidance, I wouldn't be where I am today in my career. I'm forever grateful for Gabe's kindness and expertise! If you're looking to elevate your photography skills and learn from a true master, I wholeheartedly recommend Gabe's workshop. It's an absolute must for anyone seeking to excel in the field. ~ Bettina Vass
Attending Gabe’s workshop was an incredible experience that far exceeded my expectations. With over a decade of experience in wedding photography myself, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I learned and grew in just one day. The workshop covered a broad range of topics that are essential for any wedding photographer, from the intricacies of business and marketing to the art of posing couples in a way that feels natural and authentic. One of the highlights of the day was the opportunity to observe Gabe’s posing style in real-time. His approach is not just about capturing moments; it’s about creating them in an authentic way, and seeing this in action was truly informative. It has undeniably made me a better photographer, enriching my skill set and offering me new perspectives to bring into my work. Beyond the technical learnings, the workshop fostered an incredible sense of community among the attendees. It was refreshing to spend the day with like-minded photographers, sharing experiences and tips. The friendships I made at the workshop have continued to enrich my personal and professional life, providing me with a supportive network of peers I can turn to. Gabe is not just a phenomenal photographer; he is an inspiring mentor who generously shares his knowledge and experience. His passion for wedding photography is contagious, and his teaching style is both engaging and immensely practical. This workshop is a must-attend for any wedding photographer, regardless of their level of experience.
