Having the right skills as a professional photographer is important. Trial and error is no way to learn wedding photography. Come spend the day and learn what you can do to succeed in weddings. As a 24 year veteran of wedding photography, your instructor Maurice, will share his experience to help you find your own success.
In this class, you will learn how to find good wedding clients and how to keep the client experience positive from their first consultation right thru to the delivery of their final album. You will also go over the importance of wedding contracts and how to find the one that works for you.
Then the class will move right into the tools you’ll need for a successful wedding day. You will cover camera equipment, equipment care and other essentials to have in your bag. As well as some hands-on photography to cover fast paced shooting techniques in various lighting situations.
Maurice will share his skills and tricks to keep calm in chaos. Knowing that all weddings have some chaotic moments and knowing how to stay calm through ciaos and politely in control is the key to a successful wedding day and will be an important reason why clients and guests will refer you.
As wedding photography success comes to you, you will want to know how to avoid “wedding photographer burn-out”. Going hand and hand with wanting to know how to make more money and do fewer weddings each year. This course will cover how to grow and not just exist as a wedding photographer.
If you are just starting out, or if you have had only limited success with wedding photography, then this class is a great way to build your confidence. Don’t let weddings scare you. Leave this class with the confidence you’ll need to jump-start the wedding photographer within you and enjoy weddings for years to come.
