Hey, I’m Sean.

Six figure Byron Bay Wedding Photographer and Mentor to aspiring wedding photographers who want to build a life and business they love.

I want you to know that I’ve been exactly where you are. You’re finally ready to take that next step towards becoming a professional wedding photographer and shooting your first wedding, but there’s still so much you don’t know. You lack the confidence to move forward, unsure of what to do next and how to prepare for the pace and pressure of your couple’s big day. Trust me, I get it - it can feel daunting and stressful. There’s so much on the line and you want to make as few mistakes as possible (none, if you can avoid it).

You know that your portfolio is key in helping you grow your own profitable career, and that’s why I’m so glad that you’re here. As a self taught photographer myself with over 350 weddings under my belt, I had to learn everything the hard way over many years, and this is the guide that I wish I had when I first started out. The only thing standing between you and a successful first shoot (and portfolio to match) is knowing exactly what you need to be prepared for, and it’s all here waiting for you inside this guide.

So what are you waiting for?
