So many wedding creatives waste their time spinning their wheels. Why? Because they don't have the right plan to get to the higher end of the market. If you aren't standing out, you won't be charging higher prices. I will show you how to stand out from the crowd.
Are you tired of just trying to 'wing it' with your brand? Do you want to raise your prices, and demand higher paying clients? Do you spend countless hours wondering if you are doing the right thing for your brand?
Does this sound like you?
Constantly getting inquiries from couples that barely have a budget
Not enough work in your portfolio to really show your ideal couple what you can do?
Stuck on a plateau in your business, not knowing how to take the next step?
At the workshop we are focusing on:
We've brought the European Garden to you. A private estate for you to build your portfolio. We have access to the entire property. Fly your drone, take your time, and learn from me as I walk through exactly what I would do on a wedding day.

Featuring multiple couples, head tables, florals, and more
2+ hours of time to get as much imagery as you'd like. Time to ask questions, and get the help you need
I have worked with this venue to allow us to use the entire property. The way I do portfolio building is to give you plenty of time (over 2 hours). Our designers will get everything set up, and our couples will be ready to go 2.5 hours before the sunset.
With multiple couples, and stations for decor, you have plenty of options to take your time and get the imagery you need for your portfolio.
The best part, I will be right there with you to answer any questions, and show you exactly what I do on a wedding day.

Join the workshop
This is my 19th wedding season, and I have learned a thing or two. I have designed the content for this workshop with you in mind. I want to shave years off of your learning curve. I have wasted SO MUCH TIME on my brand, and wish I would have known the info I will be digging into in this workshop.
See John's exact process on how he went from charging $5k to $30k+
Learn how John has built his brand to attract his ideal buyers
Walk through John's social media plan, and how he has used it to book $200k of weddings in the last 4 months
The first part of the day is education. I want you to dig deep and really think about why you are in business, who your ideal buyer is, and how you want your portfolio to reflect that.
I have 4 sessions aimed at giving you the tools to walk away from the retreat YEARS ahead of where you would have been.
Grab your laptop, or a notepad, and dig deep with 4 sessions with John, covering everything from ideal buyers, to social media and sales.
This isn't surface level information. You will walk away with expertise derived from years of experience
The workshop was an absolute game changer for us
Podcasts and YouTube are great, but nothing compares to learning in real time from someone who has done it all before. I loved being able to look over John's shoulder during portraits. Seeing it all in person helped us in both our shooting and in our business!

We dig into why you are in business, and what makes you, well... you. This is extremely important if you want to stand out from the crowd. Stop being vanilla, and start leaning into the creative person that you are.
When we know why we are in business, we can build a plan to attract our dream clients. If you don't know what you are aiming at, you'll never hit your target.
You know what happens when you create a clear plan to hit your goals? You start hitting them. With a few small tweaks, you can be screaming at your ideal buyer, and filling your calendar with the right couples. By the end of the workshop you will have a plan for this year to build that brand.
I know how hard it is to get images that reflect the type of work I want to have in my portfolio. I have hired top level wedding planners to put on photoshoots with that elevated look in mind. As a bonus, I will be there helping you with your camera, posing, and settings

take action
I am putting my money where my mouth is. Literally. If you attend this workshop, and don't feel that the information, the styled shoots, the community, or the overall product was up to your standards, I will refund you the entire amount of your ticket. I don't take your investment lightly. I have built a brand based on positive referrals, and taking great care of my people.
If after the event you spend 14 days applying the information you have learned, and are unable to see the value I brought, I will get you your money back. You must show the updates you have made to your brand, and branding in order to qualify for a refund.
But let's be honest, we know this is worth it. We know you are going to get way more value out of this than the cost of a ticket.
&
We have roughly 4 hours of education, a 2 hour break, then a styled shoot. Time for community, headshots, and one-on-one access to ask your questions
Well that means we will hate each other and never be friends. Kidding. I have a 14 day money back guarantee. If you hate the workshop or it isn't relevant to you I will refund you.
We hire a wedding designer to come in and do their magic. We also bring in multiple couples so it isn't too crowded. We give you over 2 hours to pick and choose what you want to film, plus John is there to help you if you want it
If you are a photographer or videographer that is struggling with your brand, your business, your sales, or your portfolio, this workshop is for you. Whether you are new, or seasoned you will find major value
Yes. We will have a professional photographer taking photos of our attendees, giving you fresh photos for your website and for your brand
Yes! At the end of every session, John will take Q&A to ensure you are really understanding the concepts. Plus there will be plenty of time during the styled shoot to ask questions too
All levels of tickets include full access to the education, styled shoots, head shots, goody bags, snacks, and community. There are upgrades that include mentor sessions, website audits, and more
We typically take about 4 hours for education, a 2 hour break for you to go grab food somewhere close, and then 2-3 hours for the styled shoot
At the end of the day, my passion is helping you to see your business in a better light. To see that there is a path to financial freedom, doing weddings. I don't do these workshops so I can retire from the profits. I do them because of how fulfilling it is for me to impact you. If you can't afford the prices, let me know. I will figure out a way to make it happen. I know this information will change your business.
