Sips + Pics - How To Use Your DSLR Camera Beginners Course

Horn Photography & Design and Etowah Meadery have teamed up to offer a 2 day beginners class on using your DSLR Camera. This event is called Sips + Pics! It is a class that will get you using and enjoying your camera while sipping on a complimentary flight of handcrafted mead made by master mead maker, Blair Housley. Brandon & Michelle Horn, local Professional Wedding + Lifestyle Photographers with 10 years of experience, will be teaching this illuminating class.


"Over the last 10 years we have had countless people ask us if we could teach them the basics of using their DSLR cameras. They often say to us, we just bought this awesome camera but have no idea how to use it, it is way more complicated than we anticipated! We totally understand and we felt the same way 12 years ago when we both held our first DSLR cameras.

Today our livelihoods depend on our cameras as we run our own successful photography business and have shot well over 500 weddings and lifestyle sessions. We love what we do and we love sharing the gift of photography with others."

TWO DAY COURSE HELD ON SATURDAY MARCH 2-3 FROM 3PM - 5PM
