Our story β€” and the journey that started it all

What started as two broke photographers trying to book their very first wedding turned into a mission: helping creatives everywhere build a business they genuinely love.

Hi, we're Bethany & Luc,
founders of School of Weddings
and owners of Grey Loft Studio.

When we started out, we had no fancy gear, no portfolio, and honestly, no clue how to land our first client. (We showed up to that first wedding absolutely terrified.) Through a lot of trial, error, and stubborn persistence, we built Grey Loft Studio into a six-figure wedding photography business β€” then started helping other creatives do the same.

Here's what we figured out along the way: most wedding creatives aren't stuck because they lack talent. They're stuck because no one ever taught them the business side β€” pricing, marketing, systems, client experience, and how to turn β€œjust checking your availability!” into a booked wedding.

So we built School of Weddings β€” the no-gatekeeping, no-overwhelm place we wish we'd had. Clear, simple education that actually works, taught by two people still shooting real weddings every single season.

Our mission now? Teach you to book dream weddings with confidence and clarity, so your business supports your life β€” not the other way around. Pull up a chair. We're so glad you're here.

Our Mission

At School of Weddings, our mission is to empower wedding creatives to build confident, sustainable businesses - without losing the heart behind why they started.

The wedding industry is filled with incredibly talented people who excel at their craft but were never taught how to run a business. Pricing can feel confusing, marketing can feel overwhelming, and booking dream clients can feel out of reach.

We exist to change that.

Through practical education, clear systems, and a supportive community, we help you:

  • β€’ Understand your value and communicate it with confidence
  • β€’ Attract clients who are the right fit for your style and services
  • β€’ Turn inquiries into booked weddings with simple, repeatable processes
  • β€’ Build a business that supports your life, not one that burns you out

Whether you’re booking your very first wedding or refining an established business, our goal is always the same - to give you clarity, structure, and the confidence to move forward.

When creatives feel supported in business, they show up better for their couples, serve from a place of ease, and create work they are truly proud of. That is the kind of industry we want to help build, one booked wedding at a time.

We believe the industry is stronger when creatives support each other. Our education and spaces are designed to feel safe, encouraging, and genuinely collaborative.

Why We
Do This

Β 
➜

Because the wedding industry is full of talented people who were taught how to create beautiful work, but not how to build a business that lasts.

➜

Because we’ve watched creatives give everything to their couples and still feel behind, scattered, or unsure of their next step.

➜

Because confidence should not be reserved for people with the fanciest gear, biggest portfolio, or loudest online presence.

➜

Because you deserve clear, simple systems that support your creativity instead of draining it.

➜

Because your business should support your life, not quietly take over your life.

➜

Because when wedding creatives feel confident and supported, the entire industry becomes more sustainable, kind, and inspiring.

This is why we’re here. This is why we built School of Weddings - and this is why we’ll keep showing up for you.
