WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?
This course is typically made up of hobbyist photographers at a real mixture of levels, looking to get into shooting weddings professionally in some capacity. It would also suit a photographer somewhat experienced in another field, but all topics are started from the ground up assuming no prior knowledge. We just recommend that you know your own camera well.
We keep our class sizes small and friendly, and when we head out to our shoots we split into small groups of 7 maximum, so no one is left behind and our trainers have plenty of time to answer all your questions and make sure you leave feeling like you’ve had a truly great learning experience.
If you have any further questions please do drop us a line and we look forward to seeing you on this workshop soon!

This course solves that age old conundrum, you can’t get work without a great portfolio, but you can’t get a great portfolio without work.
Our 1 day Portfolio Builder does just that, helps you build a stunning portfolio giving you and your clients the confidence in your work. A day of shooting and learning as we lay on lots of bride and groom models at one of the UK’s best wedding venues, giving you an enviable collection of images to showcase.
On the day you will shoot 7-9 professional models so that you can get a wide range of wedding images… Two bride and groom couples, another bride to practice getting ready photos with, alongside two bridesmaids. We limit the shooting group sizes to just 7 on this course in order to ensure you have lots of shooting time, you don’t feel cramped or rushed and you get the attention you need from the tutors.

Learn how to shoot amazing winter wedding images using available light and off-camera flash. Part theory, part working with a bride and groom on location you’ll learn how to overcome the challenges that winter weddings bring.
Taught by experienced wedding photographers, this specialist course will explain how you can prepare for winter weddings, what equipment to take and why, and most importantly how to use that equipment to maximum effect.
The afternoon shoot session is held at a local wedding venue where you will practice indoor portraits using both continuous lights and off-camera flash. During the shoot we will demonstrate various lighting modifiers and accessories such as grids, gels, soft boxes and umbrellas. The teaching emphasis is on a technical understanding of lighting to achieve more creative images at your own weddings.
It does not matter whether you shoot with Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fuji or any other brand. We are teaching the fundamentals of off-camera lighting which can be applied to any system. In order to keep up the pace of the shoot and not lose time changing equipment, you will use our flash trigger system with your own cameras. Of course, you are welcome to bring your own gear too and if required we will help you find any of the settings that match our set-up on the day.
