We will cover very deeply how to approach your client and how to run a successful wedding photography business. Besides the fact that I am an  educator, Speaker and brand ambassador, I am actually an active wedding photographer, and this is a key because we understand the frustration to run a similar business, and we know how you all feel, if you are a seasoned wedding photographer or just stating out, the information that we will share with you will be priceless, and will change the way you will run your business.
Besides learning the business aspect, I will dive deeply into the aspect of how to shoot your details, the jewelry, and the getting ready.

The way I set up the photo session is for you to learn how to use OCF together with composition and Posing. I will set up a scene, explain you in detail our view prior to even picking up the camera, and explain you what do we see. Then we will set up the OCF and pose the subject. Once we set up our scene and took our sets of images, we will NOT share the settings because we want you to make your mistake and us teaching you the why and how, this is the only way for you to understand the process, if we give out our settings you will never learn.
We want you to move away from your comfort zone, push your limits, try something new, failing is the key to success.
