Yes! We share exactly how we communicate with our clients and their guests on the wedding day to make the experience run smoothly.
We used to dread the group portraits... the pressure of everyone looking at us waiting for instructions, and the overwhelm of managing groups of people (who'd already had a drink or two!).
Over the years, however, we developed a simple approach and now tackle this part of the day with confidence. That exact approach is what you'll learn inside this course.
Yes, in detail. We teach a simple single-flash setup that takes minutes to get in place and delivers clean, consistent results. The goal isn't to turn you into a lighting specialist, it's to give you one reliable approach you can use every time so you're never caught out in difficult light.
No. The course is designed for photographers at all levels - whether you're preparing for your first weddings or you've been shooting for years and still find this part of the day stressful.

Yes. Everything in this course is taught with a solo shooter in mind as much as a second shooter.

The Group Portraits masterclass is approximately 2.5 hours of video content across 14 lessons.
