Nick Church Photography: Wedding Photography Master

Overview

With so much of the worldwide spend on photography being for weddings, it’s not surprising that photographers, both new and experienced, want to enter this field or strive to take their established business to new heights.

On top of the financial rewards, weddings offer opportunities to travel, visit beautiful places, interact with a wide range of people and that wonderful feeling of creating images that are treasured for a lifetime.

Wedding photography relies on a wide range of shooting and non-shooting skills and this rounded 2-day course gives you everything you will need to make your venture a success. It uses the same techniques and skills that Nick Church used to develop Nick Church Photography, from zero to 50 weddings a year, in just three years.

Intuitive configuration and operation of your camrera for quick, decisive actions, tackling problematic light, management of your couple and larger crowds of people, efficient and secure editing and processing workflows for 1000s of images all play a key role in your success. Similarly, marketing and positioning your brand, managing the client journey, setting pricing and packages, selling yourself, finding your style and planning a wedding are all important parts of a workflow that if not in place, will stop you reaching your potential.

You will leave buzzing with clarity, knowledge, confidence and the wonderful feeling that you now have everything they need to reach your goal, and with Nick Church as a continued support after the course, we will ensure you get there.

"Nick’s Wedding Photography course left my head buzzing with positivity and confidence…. It is now nearly 6 months after my course and Nick, I have to tell you, using the marketing workflows I have now booked my first three weddings with the first one in a few weeks time which I now feel totally prepared for…

The stress-free systems and techniques you taught me were worth the fee alone as I feel totally on top of everything for the first time. As you know one of the problems I faced was getting organised and keeping focussed on the task at hand and now my time is actually structured. I feel like I've got my life back!

The course was incredibly good value, and we covered so much. I’ve paid it back with the first couple of wedding booking fees! Thank you again Nick" - Glenny
