education and resources for the Wedding & Elopement photographer

you need to get out of your own way
it’s time to follow your passion - leaving the negative talk behind

I totally get it – choosing entrepreneurship is scary. It will require so much of you, and it will force you to grow in the best way possible. It can be uncomfortable at times, even frustrating. But, I can wholeheartedly tell you that every ounce of resistance you might feel will be so, so worth the life you’ll be able to create for yourself. Your breakthrough is closer than you think.

CONTRACTS TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE COVERED

as service professionals, we have to protect ourselves first. do it with the best contracts in the game.

SHOP THE CONTRACTS

These are the contracts I use, love and recommend. Currently, the contracts I use are; the Second Shooter Contract, Wedding Contract, Elopement Contract, and her Cancellation Bundle. Cover yourself legally before you buy the fancy lens. Trust me, you can still create beautiful imagery with your Canon 50mm. Cover your booty and grab these contracts sooner rather than later.
