Wedding Photography Course

For Intermediate and Established Photographers.

I have covered wedding photography all over the UK, as well as India, Spain and Italy.

Many photographers express fear concerning the pressure and responsibility of taking wedding photographs which should capture the most important day in a couple’s life. Having covered weddings for some years with my wife, Jeanette I feel well equipped to help photographers to enter this competitive market with real confidence.

Practical experience in a church with a Bride and Groom and a Priest.

This comprehensive course includes a full day classroom session and an on-site church practical shoot with a Bride and Groom and a Priest. The objective of the course is to provide photographers with everything they need to know, from winning wedding jobs to delivery of stunning images that generate great feedback and future business.
