My passion is photography and I've been in the photography business for a long time now, over 4 decades. And in this course, I'd like to share with you the many things that I've learned and experienced in my great wedding photography adventure. And it really has been an adventure.

And just in a nutshell,  so you know where I'm coming from, and please understand, I am saying this not to brag but, just so you know that I've been there and not someone who just read a book, took a course, did some research on the business of wedding photography and try and tell you how to do it.

As they say, I've walked the talk for many years and I've built a very successful wedding and portrait photography business. And along the way I've won many accolades and earned my degrees for my photography, along with many ribbon & trophy awards and Epcot displays.

But, enough about me. You can read by full bio in the profile section. 

So, you’re probably wondering, what this course can do for you. Well, since I've been involved in the many aspects of running a wedding photography business starting part time in our apartment, then built a home studio that was very successful that we expanded into a commercial shopping center location for 20 more years.

Then to make a long story short, sold my PA studio, moved to NC and pretty much started over on a smaller scale and came full circle as we renovated a home studio, that included a camera room, sales room and office. So, I’ve been there & back.

And now that I've recently retired from the business of wedding photography, I'm able to devote my time to train other photographers who also have the passion and share some very valuable information with you.

This course is about making money in the business of wedding photography, not f stops, or apertures. Much of the information in this course will not be found in text books or photography classes.
