Whether you’re exploring a new career path, looking to build your portfolio after university, or ready to take your passion for photography to a professional level, my training is designed to give you real‑world experience from day one. As a full‑time wedding photographer based in Wakefield, West Yorkshire—and consistently booked to capacity each year—I offer hands‑on, practical training for aspiring wedding photographers who want to learn the craft properly.
There are no staged shoots, models, or mock weddings. Instead, you’ll work alongside me at genuine weddings, gaining invaluable insight into how to photograph real people in real moments. Every training package includes direct access to live wedding environments, continuous guidance and portfolio development support, detailed feedback to help you grow with confidence, and dedicated Off‑Camera Flash (OCF) training that you can practise in authentic situations.
Beginner guide into Wedding Photography – Only £500
Starting with a 1 to 1 Session session in the office where firstly we’ll look at camera skills and settings and plan for a real life wedding, looking at ideas, poses, techniques and styles as well as discussing different ideas and approaches. Once everything is planned we’ll photograph a real life wedding where you can put into practise some of the camera skills and ideas we’ve discussed. Meaning everything will be live and real.
This package will allow you to photograph 3 real life weddings, where you can understand how they work, liase with the suppliers and start building a wedding photography portfolio. After every wedding, you will receive detailed feedback and advice
Intermediate guide into Wedding Photography – Only £600
Over the course of 5 real life weddings, we’ll look at developing camera skills and settings. Unlike the Beginner option, this is more tailored to someone familiar with a camera and possessing some camera skills. During our time we’ll develop these skills into a more refined product and work on developing a style to your work whilst increasing your portfolio and confidence. This is practical training for people who want real life experience as opposed to a training day. The skills you learn, the Photographs you take and our time together is real life so will be unscripted and adapting to the clients and environment around us.
Advanced guide into Wedding Photography – Only £1200
I offer you access to 12 Real life weddings as the 2nd photographer, during our time you’ll learn to photograph preparations, room decor, develop your ideas and deal with real life bride and grooms in a safe setting. As your skills develop we’ll talk about Off Camera Flash and put those ideas to the test in real life. Nothing is scripted, every event, every couple and every day is different but what you will gain is knowledge and experience whilst also portfolio building. You get the experience, you get to build your portfolio and you also get the feedback to enable you to develop as a wedding photographer.
My training course has been designed from the ground up to make it unlike other training courses, I work on a 1 to 1 basis and the training covers both practical and classroom based learning as well as feedback on the work provided. Over the course of the training, we’ll look at : Camera Skills, Framing, Lighting and Exposure, Adobe Lightroom & Photoshop as well as putting these skills into practise at real weddings with real Bride & Grooms.
We’ll also discuss ideas for photographs, create a plan for wedding photography and then photograph the wedding. After the wedding feedback will be provided and we’ll look at what went right and what went wrong through detailed feedback allowing you to create a workable portfolio of real life work.
My training courses are a mixture of practical and classroom with lots of feedback along the way and is geared towards getting you recognised by a Wedding Photography trade association such as the SWPP.
