As the associate photographer, your job is to document the groom, the groomsmen, ceremony and guests, the cocktail hour coverage and on occasion, step in to document reception details and beloved guests. But where do you learn how to capture these photos and ensure that your style is cohesive to the lead photographer's? Don't panic. In my workshop you'll learn how to photograph every aspect of the wedding day and be a dream come true to any leading photographer. 

After a decade in the industry, I've seen so many  photographers struggling due to the lack of education and formal training for associates. Until now. This workshop is solely intended to create exceptional second shooters who will be in high demand. 

wHAT MAKES

this different

There is no workshop on the market that was created solely for the associate wedding photographer, until now. My goal is to teach you how to photograph a wedding day with beauty and masterful imagery to ensure your wedding day photos are on par with your leading photographer's body of imagery.  All the while, you're learning how to be an experienced assistant photographer and creating your very own collection of beautiful photography.
