The first shoot of LYON-SHOP day covers: client interaction, working with available light/shadows, creative posing, and different lenses for different situations.
This image makes me seriously LOL! Jesse Tenorio (one of our attendees) literally threw himself in front of my camera while I was in the middle of a shoot, catch the next photo to see the shot he got! You can also read about his experience at the LYON-SHOP by going to his blog post about it, thanks Jesse!
The second shoot of the day at the LYON-SHOP we cover: off camera lighting, creative use of flash and ambient light, how to capture lens flare. 
Justin and I wanted to demonstrate how to shoot creative candids at a reception, so we had to do a reenactment of wedding guests dancing, so funny!
LOOOOOOVED all the attendees that came that day! Everyone got along so well and the sparks just continued to fly all day long! Thank you to all those that took time out of their busy lives to come and learn from us!
Here's a little recap of what went on at the LYON-SHOP Part 6 on September 28th, 2010. Justin + I had one of the best days with a fantastic group of attendees at the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills!

Dani,
I actually don't know of any specific books that teach off camera flash the way we use it. We learned from others and then added our own flare to it. I promise I'll teach it to you when you get to attend a LYON-SHOP:)

Hi Amelia! I would love to attend one of your workshops. But I live in Florida. Have you ever considered doing one in the east coast next year? I think I read a comment above that he lived in Chicago. I think Atlanta would be a good location.... for the east coast people to travel to. What do you think? Please let me know and I will be the first one to attend. Maybe you could do a post asking the east coast peeps about it. I'm sure you will get a good response. I know my friend and I will attend.

Lauren + Andy were married a few weeks back at the LDS Temple in Los Angeles. You may recall this fabulous couple from their engagement session a few months back. This wedding was really meant to be for us. After speaking with Lauren's mom we discovered that she (Lauren's mom) is best friends with one of my first cousins and Andy's dad is one of Justin's dad's closest friends (if that makes any sense...)!
We had shot quite a bit at that temple before so we were determined to find something unique around that area to help make Lauren + Andy's photos different with a twist of awesome-ness! Luckily, we found a wall just a few blocks away that was completely radical! Scroll down and you'll see what I'm talking about!
The scattered shadows on this photo make me happy!
The grass on the temple grounds was being trimmed and there were these blue dumpsters on the far side of the lot, so of course we took advantage! We thought it was a creative contrast.
Behold....THE WALL and my favorite shot of the day!
I'm usually not too big on posting the bouquet and garter toss shots, but I thought that these two topped the cake!
Lauren + Andy have been such sweet clients! Click here to see an online slideshow with more photos from their wedding day!

What I love about looking through your photography is that you take a couple and place them in a normal average setting. The end result is pure fabulous as you make the ordinary seem extraordinary. I know that is cheese but it is what I think at each glance.

Lauren and Andy have a pretty funny tie to us and up until their engagement session, we had no idea who these two individuals were. It was Lauren's mom who actually contacted us and after a fun long conversation on the phone we discovered that Andy's father (Gregory Sievers, an awesome artist from Idaho) is actually good friends with Justin's father (Dustin Lyon, also an amazing artist from Idaho). Then come to find out, Lauren's mother is best friends with one of my first cousins! The world really is a very small place!
We are looking forward to Lauren and Andy's wedding in August!

Only 4 comments! let's go Amelia Lyon fans! What the heck? This couple is beautiful! Listen, Lauren and Andy...you guys are hot. Keep looking that good and this wedding thing is gonna be a breeze. A and J will take great care of you. Good times, low tides and rising gas prices. until we meet again my friends...(hope the A and J thing wasn't too personal. They are initials, not pet names. Was it too much? tone it down? o.k.)
