Helping you feel prepared, professional and profitable as you build your portfolio.
1:1 Mentoring for aspiring wedding photographers building a life and business they love.
Despite what you see on Instagram, starting out as a professional wedding photographer isn’t just about building your portfolio.
In an industry where treasured family memories rest solely in your hands and there’s no second chance at a first kiss, the pressure can feel daunting.
Anxious and stressed out the night before, triple checking every inch of your gear.. I know what it’s like to hold that camera with sweaty palms and wonder what could go wrong.
Every wedding is an opportunity to build your portfolio and learn something new, and yet, you don't want to muck it up. You want to do the best you possibly can.
But when you’re also taking a leap of faith into a new creative career and choosing a whole new lifestyle for your family, the unknowns can feel endless.
The learning curve in business can feel steep and being self taught can leave you sitting behind a screen late into the night, every-single-night.
But what if you could dive head first into a profitable career that leaves you more present with your family, without having to figure out the business side on your own?
What if you could book your first few weddings knowing exactly how to sequence your day and prepare for the unexpected, whilst getting paid to build your portfolio?
What if you could develop new skills and master your craft behind the lens, without spending all of your time watching youtube videos and making avoidable mistakes?
In the wedding photography industry today, there are countless coaches who can teach you their specific business hacks or technical expertise.
But few know what it feels like to be completely self taught, take the leap from a 9-5 with a family to support, and create a seamless customer experience that is second to none and converts every couple into lifelong fans of your work.
Now after 5 years of running a successful 6 figure business and shooting over 350 weddings, I want to share the skillset, mindset and experience that led me to ditching my sales career and doing the work that I love every single day, surrounded by my family and dream clients.
KIND WORDS
“Sean took the time to tailor a session for me, sharing his expertise on everything from mental preparation and camera settings to wedding day timelines and couples portraits.

Thank you Sean.”

KIND WORDS
"I had the privilege of doing a mentor session with Sean.
Not only was he super friendly, he made me feel comfortable to ask any questions I needed to. We discussed a variety of topics from flash photography and composition to critiques of my own photos. I came away with some really great tips that I will be implementing in my own photography.
If we want to grow in our craft we have to continue to be teachable and Sean is a wonderful teacher. Would definitely recommend a session with Sean.”
