Wedding Photography Foundations
Shoot your first wedding with confidence, even if you've never done it before
This is the complete beginner's course for photographers who are good with a camera and completely unsure about everything else. Four modules, 11 video lessons, and the exact tools we use on real wedding days.
$48, one time. Lifetime access, plus every future update.
Where you are now, and where this takes you
Right now
- The camera part is fine. The thought of a whole wedding day makes your stomach drop.
- You're guessing at your prices and quietly hoping nobody asks how you landed on them.
- Your portfolio is friends and styled shoots, and you're sure that's the thing holding you back.
- Someone finally enquires, and you stare at the message with no idea what to send back.
After Foundations
- You walk in with a timeline, a shot list, and a plan for when it rains.
- You have prices you can say out loud without flinching.
- You know how to turn an enquiry into a signed contract and a paid deposit.
- You deliver a gallery that looks like you, on time, without vanishing for a month.
What's inside
4 modules, 11 video lessons, watch at your own pace.
Module 1
Understanding wedding photography
What the job actually is once the day starts, what couples are really paying you for, and the things nobody warns you about before your first one.
Module 2
Essential skills
The gear that's genuinely enough and what to skip, your website and social presence, pricing and profitability, and an editing and delivery workflow you can repeat every time.
Module 3
Building your brand
Building a portfolio worth booking from wherever you're starting, using engagement sessions to fill it fast, and the vendor relationships that quietly send you referrals for years.
Module 4
Wedding-specific skills
Wedding day timelines, second shooting your way in, and the step by step of actually booking your first wedding.
What comes with it
30-day money-back guarantee
Go through the modules, use the templates, try the scripts on a real enquiry. If it isn't what you needed, email us within 30 days and we'll give you your money back. We'd rather you spend $48 finding out than spend another season guessing.
Is this you?
- You've shot anywhere from zero to a handful of weddings, and you want the next one to feel less like improvising.
- You've been second shooting and you're ready to lead your own day.
- You're talented with a camera and were never taught the business side, because almost nobody is.
- You want to charge properly without feeling like you're overreaching.
Already booking 15 to 20 weddings a year at full rate? You're past this one. Wedding Photography Elevations is the one built for you.
Who's teaching you
We're Bethany and Luc, a husband-and-wife photo and video team from Ottawa. Through Grey Loft Studio we've shot and filmed hundreds of real weddings over 10+ years, and built a six-figure wedding photography business from the ground up.
Everything in Foundations came off a real wedding day under pressure, not out of a textbook. We made every mistake so you don't have to. No gatekeeping, just what actually works.
Before you check out
"I don't have a portfolio yet."
You don't need 50 weddings to book your first. Module 3 is how you build a portfolio worth booking from exactly where you're standing today.
"How long will it take me?"
11 lessons, most of them short. Some people run through it in a weekend, some take a month. You have lifetime access, so there's no clock.
"I'm a videographer, or a total beginner."
Foundations is written for photographers first, but the business half (pricing, booking, timelines, vendor referrals) works the same whatever you're holding on the day.
"What if it's not for me?"
30 days, money back, no hard feelings.
