FORT LAUDERDALE ENGAGEMENT & COUPLES PHOTOGRAPHY

Ever wanted to learn how to take better photos? Have a great camera, but don't know how to use it? Call 954-399-0741 to schedule flexible, on-location practical photography

I'm constantly asked if I teach photography when I am photographing weddings throughout South Florida. I've finally decided I will begin teaching photography from beginner through advanced to people throughout south Florida that want to learn more.

Whether you have a SLR or mirrorless camera you don't quite know how to use, or you want to get started in photography. I can teach you photography from the very basics of operating and using the functions of your camera to advanced composition and lighting.

About the Instructor

Alfredo Valentine, is the owner and principal photographer of Couture Bridal Photography. Alfredo has been involved with wedding photography for almost 30 years, as an avid hobbyist, student and admirer of photography.

Alfredo has attended and continues to attend photography seminars by some of the worlds best photographers and is continually learning and practicing the latest photography techniques.

Alfredo is a hands-on learner and applies the same methodology he used over his lifetime to teach photography in real world settings all hands-on, so the student develops muscle memory, and becomes one with his or her camera.
