MENTORING

[W]hen I first set out on my wedding photography business I greatly valued the mentors who showed me the right path and got my business off to the perfect start.

Being able to ask questions, observe how it was done and always have someone to turn to for advice enabled me to confidently photograph my first wedding and learn the tricks of the trade that helped me get more bookings! I am so grateful to my mentors for helping me build the business I have today.

I am now sharing all that I have learned through one-to-one mentoring sessions. For aspiring new wedding photographers we will cover topics that matter to you from the techniques I use on a wedding day to workflow after the wedding.

If you are looking to share your ideas, have questions about how to get started or move to the next level or are in need of branding and marketing advice then get in touch and we can schedule a mentoring session either where I live in Waterford,  via Skype or we could meet up if I am travelling in your area.

The purpose of these sessions is to inspire, motivate and enable you to take your business to the next level!

WORKSHOPS

[I]f you would like to learn the practical side of photographing weddings, how I pose couples during a couples session, how I edit my images after a wedding and what my workflow looks like then one of my workshops is an ideal way to learn in a relaxed and fun environment. And you get to meet other great photographers too!

To join my current waiting list for workshops please leave your details below and I will inform you about any upcoming workshops in your area.

What Does My Wedding Photography Workflow Look Like?

You dont need me to tell you that wedding days can be busy affairs with lost happening at once. A lot of this is beyond your control as a photographer. People and ceremonies can run late, the weather can be changeable (it is Ireland after all) and with a group of...

How To Set New Year Resolutions For Your Photography Business

New Year’s Resolutions get a bad press: they’re often poorly formed, phrased in negative terms (“NO MORE CHOCOLATE!”) and are geared around guilt. Yet we persist - we claim we’re going to completely overhaul our diet, our exercise regime, our approach to the laundry...
