Workshop Wednesday: DIY Photo Albums

Looking for a way to preserve your wedding photos? Want to do it in style? byfield~pitman photography owner Ben Welland will lead a DIY Photo Album at the 2012 edition of Wed By Hand. Ben will teach you how to create professionally printed coffee-table style photo books from your wedding pictures. Ben will show examples of different photo book styles by several high-quality, low-cost companies, and he’ll teach us how to use free programs so we can make your own. With a slideshow and detailed step-by step guide, brides and grooms will have the tools and know-how to produce professional quality bound photo albums for their families and friends after the wedding.

About Ben & byfield~pitman photography: Owner Ben Welland launched byfield~pitman photography in 1997. He graduated from Algonquin’s photography program in 2000, and is now a full-time professional photographer. Along with a team of 4 other top notch photographers, Ben shoots at about 15 to 18 of those 20 weddings a year, and says “it's part of who I am now. Being at weddings almost every Saturday of every summer for the better part of my adult life has become my "normal". I really love the work. And that passion comes across when I speak about wedding photography (and photography in general!)”

Ben’s work has been featured in Ottawa Xpress, where he’s been working since 2003, and more recently, Capital Xtra!, Guerilla, Dharmaarts, and Voir. This workshop will be a great way to pick an expert's brain about how to preserve the memories from your wedding for years to come!
