Our 2019 Workshop is done, and it was AWESOME!!!

If you would like to be the first to know about our next workshop please submit the form below.

Here is what our first ever workshop looked like

We have been talking, planning and dreaming about running the exact workshop that we wish had existed when we first started. A hands-on all inclusive course that covers all of the fundamentals of wedding photography, from business and marketing to creative shooting techniques and post production workflow. Most importantly we want to show you how we learn about our clients, have fun with them during their big day, and then deliver a final product that is even better than they expected!

To get the most out of the time that you invest in us we have found an amazing retreat (think school camp) just outside of Bendigo where we can all stay on-site together from Friday lunchtime through to late Monday afternoon. This will allow you to immerse yourself in photography techniques, business strategy and creativity without the daily stresses of life. It also means there will be plenty of time for informal discussions over meals and/or a few drinks!

  • 4 Days of hands-on wedding photography learning

  • We will shoot multiple times every single day

  • Business classes/discussions on marketing, pricing, working with vendors and customer service

  • There will be a mock wedding at one of Bendigo’s best wedding venues, with real couples to shoot!

  • Twin share cabin style accomodation Friday, Saturday and Sunday night (just bring bedding/sleeping bag)

  • All meals supplied along with coffee, tea and water etc

Dates - 21st, 22nd, 23rd and 24th of June 2019 (be prepared for long days, this isn’t just 10am-5pm sitting in a classroom)

Location - Axedale, Victoria (15 mins outside Bendigo)

Price - $1,895 inc Accomodation and Meals ($500 Deposit and Balance by 30th May)
