April 21, 2012 I attended the Justine Russo Photography Workshop! It was Justine’s first workshop and there were 17 of us photographers in attendance. We started off the day at the Abbotsford Sandman Hotel where Justine shared throughout the morning her story on how she started and more topics like branding, pricing, shooting, client interaction and more.
Here’s a couple shots from the meeting room in the Sandman Hotel… Cute gift bags & beautiful flowers on our table 
After lunch we all carpooled over to Gardner Park where her sister had a gorgeous styled wedding table set up for the shoot! Matt & Sylvia modeled for the shoot and they were fantastic to work with… it must have felt like we were the paparazzi with 18 cameras clicking away!
The shoot was filled with details, a designed table, a vintage couch and a gorgeous bouquet! I loved that the colour theme matched Justine’s branding! After the shoot we headed back to the Sandman Hotel where Justine finished off the afternoon with showing us her workflow and editing.
Thank you Justine for a fantastic workshop. My head was spinning with information by the end of the day!
Here are some of my photos that I was able to get that afternoon…
