The Workshop
On Sunday, December 6th, up to 20 photographers with 2 years or less full time wedding experience will gather from 9–5pm for an intense and fun interactive workshop that will help you “Go Pro” or more pro, with confidence.
Workshop teachers Ashley Garmon and Jenn Lindberg will combine their 18 plus years of wedding shooting experience to give you insider advice on how to have powerfully effective client meetings (even at Starbuck’s), how to design a work flow that works for you, portfolio reviews, marketing tips, social media and more.
The workshop will be held at the Four Seasons Austin and the $249 workshop fee includes both breakfast and lunch.
Both Ashley and Jenn started their businesses from scratch and know first hand what it’s like to launch a wedding business in a competitive urban market. Bring your portfolios and your burning questions…

We love to teach and mentor photographers. We’ve attended lots of workshops ourselves and know how to ‘bring it’ for our workshop attendees.
