WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY MENTORING SESSIONS

Personal development is a major time-saver. The better you become, the less time it takes you to achieve your goals

Thank you for dropping by and showing interest in setting up a mentoring session! Wedding photography has been a fantastic outlet for us and it has given us many opportunities that we are extremely thankful for.  It wasn’t always easy!  We made a lot of mistakes, bought a lot of useless gear, and made decisions that baffle us to this day.  Through hard work and dedication though, we developed a brand that we are now very proud of and it continues to thrive after 6yrs and over 140 weddings.
With the knowledge we’ve gained over the years, we felt compelled to help others avoid the mistakes we made when we started.
Ever say to yourself …

 

I wish someone would just tell me exactly what to do.

 

We certainly did and always found that no one wanted to share their secret sauce.  Well, we’re about to change that.
There are no simple answers or shortcuts, but reaching your goals will happen much faster by investing in yourself and your business.
Our sessions are based on a no BS approach.  We are completely transparent and 100% willing to share everything that has allowed us to be successful.
We’ll tell you everything you want to know, EVERYTHING!

Why Mentor with us? 

We love growth!  We want to be the person we wish we had when we first started in this business.

We are the ones who can answer your questions, without you having to scour the internet and possibly leading you down the wrong path. Whether you’re starting out or seasoned but feel you lost your mojo, we want to help.  We take an ongoing approach to always be able to guide you, whatever direction you are heading. We’ll get into the meat and potatoes of photography, help you stand out in a saturated market, and help you find your purpose.
It’s going to be an awesome day of learning!
