Santa Monica?! You guys have really been moving on up from good ole' Fullerton ... Lyon Shop Uno. To anyone on the fence -- GO TO THE LYON SHOP. I went before I ever shot a wedding (almost exactly a year ago) ... and what I learned from Amelia and Justin became the foundation for my business ... from post processing (it's changed a lot over the year, but I learned SO much about it at the workshop), to branding and client meetings and interaction, lens flare, shooting, I could go on and on ... but I already wrote 2 books here :) :)

It's that time agaaaaaaain!:) After the super-duper fun LYON-SHOP we did in Las Vegas on March 6th, we have been super anxious to announce another one!!! Grab the seats while they're still hot to grab! Come spend a crazy day on May 18th in Santa Ana, CA with Justin & I learning all you can about how we do what we do! See the details below. Also, I've included a recap on the Las Vegas workshop below as well, so keep scrolling down.
Click here to view our official LYON-SHOP site!
One of the coolest parts about the penthouse suite is that it was up super high and it had a spa on balcony!
We had our beautiful friends Mark Brooke & Candice Brooke model for us. We were also able to get a fun wedding dress from Allyse's Bridal there in Las Vegas, I fell immediately in love with this particular style that Candice is wearing below.
Our first shoot of the day covered: interacting with you client, posing, creative use of available light, and the use of different lenses.
I MUST give a huge shout-out to Lyndzee of Lady Vintique for making the most amazing head pieces and accessories to complete Candice & Mark's look for our shoots that day!
We had the funnest group of people out that day, thank you to all of the attendees for coming out to learn from us, we feel super blessed to have had such a great day with all of you!
Our second shoot covered: more creative posing, off camera lighting, and working with your surrounding environments.
If you would like to reserve a seat for the next LYON-SHOP for May 18th in Santa Ana, CA email amelia@amelialyon.com as soon as possible!
We held our last LYON-SHOP in the fabulous city of Las Vegas at The Palms. Justin used his mad producing skills and hooked us up with one of the penthouse suites there, it was a pretty rad space!

Announcing another LYON-SHOP, Part CINQ!

01.19.10
Last week Justin and I had a BLAST with all of our LYON-SHOP attendees at The Shade Hotel in Manhattan Beach, California! This was a fun group and the day went by so fast with so much to say, teach, show, and shoot! At the end of the day we felt super grateful to everyone who took time out of their busy lives to come and learn from us. We hope that those in attendance were able to take back something from our LYON-SHOP to better their photography business/techniques and ultimately become successful!
We held two shoots that day, the first shoot concentrated on working with and posing your client, use of available light, and use of certain lenses for certain situations.
After the first shoot was over we went through post processing, workflow, how to create actions, blogging, and marketing. The second shoot was definitely my favorite part of the day. We demonstrated how to capture lens-flare, off camera lighting, multiply off camera lighting set ups, reviewed camera settings, and more posing.
Here are all of the attendees, a special thank you goes out to all of them for a very successful day!
Here are some shots that a few of our attendees sent to us of behind the scenes. This first set comes from Quincy of Rock The Image, I especially love what he wrote about the LYON-SHOP on his blog, so be sure to stop by there:
This next set comes from the fab duo team of Paco + Betty from San Francisco:
We also don't want to forget our amazing sponsors for helping us make the LYON-SHOP possible:
Before I show the recap, we are holding another LYON-SHOP (Part Quatre!) in Las Vegas on March 6th, just before the big WPPI Convention and we STILL HAVE A SMALL AMOUNT OF SEATS AVAILABLE!!! So if you are wanting to attend, hop on it fast and email amelia@amelialyon.com asap and I'll let you know how you can go about reserving your seat for that day!
The Shade Hotel was very accommodating and it was the perfect place for us to hold our group.

amelia, i would love to know what lens you use to get super duper close to your couples.... i.e. the ahhhmazing black & white shot (#4 from the top). i find that my 50 1.2 doesn't always get as close as i'd like. :)
(01.22.10 07:30 AM)
amelialyon said:
Mary, that photo was most likely shot with the 35mm 1.4...it's a fabulous lens and you'd be surprised at how close you can get to your subject with it!

rad! that was my assumption! i'll have to give it another chance, rented it once and wasn't convinced :)

http://www.amelialyon.net/darkroom/mt/mt-tb.cgi/230
We're super duper excited to be announcing this next LYON-SHOP because we'll be doing it LAS VEGAS style! We weren't planning on announcing this one until January, but changed our minds after receiving numerous emails from interested parties that would like to purchase seats to give away as Christmas gifts. So here we are!
Join us as we set up shop on the infamous Las Vegas Boulevard - aka The Strip! The LYON-SHOP, Part QUATRE is set to take place on March 6th of 2010, just before the tradeshow of all tradeshows - WPPI. WPPI is the must attend event for Wedding and Portrait photographers, which is being held on March 4th-11th, with the tradeshow portion taking place March 8th-10th. This is a perfect way to amplify and expand the information, knowledge, learning and fun times that you'll have there this year!
To catch a glimpse at how the last LYON-SHOP went, click here! You can also visit our official LYON-SHOP site by clicking here for further details. We're looking forward to seeing who signs up, act fast while the seats are hot and available!!!
