We also give a 5% discount if £2.00 is paid into the Bliss charity box. So, each month there is a sizeable cheque for Bliss.

Wedding course

I think the most valuable seminar on our wedding course is not about photography!

Our seminar 4 covers:
How to get wedding enquiries.
How to convert the enquiry to a booking.

The knowledge required to do this often takes years of experience and entails understanding that the wedding photographers responsibilities go way beyond just the photography.

The photographer is the only wedding supplier at the wedding from beginning to the end. He/she is the only person who understands, and appreciates, the timings and sequence of events and can assist, and advise, the client about these key facts to ensure the couple and their families have a stress free and wonderful day.

How many wedding photographers appreciate this?

The really professional wedding photographer should fulfil the role of the wedding consultant. Realise this and you begin to hold the key to booking every couple you see.

Following our seminar 4 a week ago a student wrote:
"Got my first real wedding lead this week- and from the marketing and wedding knowledge from you on the course last weekend still ringing in my ears I now have my first booking- a selection 2 upgraded. Amazing...I was only going along for the practice with no sales expectation. GREAT TRAINING."

This is far from unique, it happens on a regular basis. As far as I know there is no other course that contains the contents to make this happen on a regular basis.
