Time: 9am to 5pm
JOIN US FOR A FULL DAY OF FUN AND TEACHING AT THE BEAUTIFUL VAN HOOSEN FARMS
Our goal is to equip and inspire you to grow your wedding photography business into a six-figure success! That's right over $100,000 in 12 to 18 months. WE DID IT AND SO CAN YOU!
Learn how to increase your business with hands-on photography sessions covering a typical wedding from start to finish. You learn best by doing, but even more so when you 'do' with others. True growth comes from experiences that get us out of our comfort zones and give us space to try new things!
Fun, emotional, and natural photographs are key to the wedding day story. Great stories are about capturing both "Actions" and "Reactions" in real-life situations. This workshop will cover 7 essential opportunities for capturing the wedding day story.
If you want to make your passion into a business, this workshop is for you!
If you need inspiration and encouragement to get you to the next level of success and joy as a photographer, this workshop is for you!
