hey photog!
How would it feel to not just step timidly into the wedding industry, but jump confidently on the fast track to $5k+ bookings?
Okay, girl. So you’ve reallllly been wanting to dip your toe into the wedding industry. You’ve already mastered the camera basics, you’re pinning all of the Pinterest tips to your secret “Wedding Photography” board, and overall just doing everything you can to piece together as much free information as you can find. You know this is a highly lucrative side of photography that will take your business to the next level, but the overwhelm of all the other unknowns is holding you back.
If we’re being honest, it all just feels a bit too daunting and you’re wondering if you’ll ever feel confident + prepared enough to capture such a monumental, once in a lifetime event
…nodding along so far?
Then you, my friend, are in the RIGHT place!
Does this also sound familiar?
“It’s too much pressure!”
You really want to feel fully equipped on a wedding day and you’ve spent hours reading everything online about capturing weddings… but you still don’t feel prepared and you’re terrified of ruining a client’s big day.
“I don’t have the right gear!”
You’ve got “the basics” to shoot portrait sessions but don’t have the fancy zoom lenses you’ve seen wedding photogs using. (Spoiler Alert: you don’t need that lens)
You’ve got a bad case of “Imposter Syndrome”
You’re spending hours scrolling through wedding photography inspo on Instagram and feeling like you’re not good enough to do this professionally and profitably.
And at the end of the day, all you really want is to thrive in the wedding industry without wanting to throw up before every wedding... and I really don’t think that’s too much to ask for!
Which is why I am SO excited to introduce you to….
Friend, this is THE missing link that will help you finally feel prepared + confident to step into the wedding industry and scale, scale, SCALE your business! Inside, I give you access to all of the tools, strategies, and systems that I’ve created for myself these past 8 years to reduce my own wedding day anxieties, turn my clients into raving fans that market for me, and ultimately scale from charging $900 to $6000+ per wedding (before any product sales)!
Am I getting ahead of myself!? Sorry, let’s rewind a sec!
Hey, I’m Bethany
And I know what it feels like to be EXACTLY where you are. I wanted to thrive in the wedding industry but I was so fearful of forgetting that important shot on someone’s wedding day (ya know, one of those once in a lifetime moments you can’t just “do over.” No pressure, right?)
I was anxious about allll the things that could go wrong or pop-up that I didn’t know how to handle at the time. Heck, I could’ve been sponsored by Ginger Ale, Tums, and Imodium the first few years of my business (but at least I could turn in my CVS receipts as a tax write-off). I learned so many lessons the hard way, on the job, in high pressure environments.
And ya know what? I don’t want other photographers having to rebalance their gut flora because wedding anxiety has wreaked absolute havoc on their lives. So I’m giving you exactly what I wish I had nearly a decade ago: alllll of the fool-proof resources and systems I created for myself to minimize anxiety, increase client experience (think Chickfila level customer service), and scale my business into the absolute PINCH ME dream of a biz that it is today.
now I can’t wait to get this resource into your hands and let it do the same for you!

What’s Inside
Module 1
Stepping Into the Industry
We’re going to kick things off by making sure you have allllll the things you need to step into the wedding industry:
-How to build your portfolio (even if you’ve never shot a wedding!)
-How to get your work in front of the right people and start booking your dream clients over and over!
-We’ll talk marketing strategies and how to utilize social media
-If you’re wondering how to build out your wedding packages + pricing, I’ve got you covered! (And I’m throwing in a free pricing template you can customize and start using in your biz TODAY)
Module 2
The Client Experience
This is the secret sauce to scaling your business! The experience that you provide your couples with is what will set you apart from others in the industry. I’m talking Chickfila level costumer service here, people!
In this module I lay out every touchpoint you should be having with your clients from initial inquiry to gallery delivery. I’ll show you how effective communication is the number one way to avoid unhappy clients and how to make the onboarding process a breeze for you both!
Knowing how (and WHAT) to communicate allows you to meet and exceed client expectations. Let me teach you how to create raving fans whose positive word-of-mouth recommendations will sky-rocket your personal confidence, your reputation, and your bookings!
Module 3
Anatomy of a Wedding Day
I am SO excited to get this module into the hands of photographers who feel overwhelmed just by the THOUGHT of wedding days!
I’ve broken down the ENTIRE day into “micro events” that you can prepare for one lesson at a time. From getting ready photos, to the ceremony, bridal party, and beyond- I’ll show you what to expect from each portion of the day and how to photograph it all thoroughly + efficiently.
Walking into a wedding day already familiar with (and prepared for) the expectations and potential stress points means your anxiety will take a nose dive and free up your creativity!
Bonus!
Wedding Timeline Blueprint + Template:
Learn how to create thorough, efficient timelines and never build a timeline from scratch again!
Module 4
Prep for Success
Let’s make sure you’re ready to walk out the door for your next (or FIRST!) wedding! I’ll tell you exactly which pieces of equipment are non-negotiable, have a chat about your business legality + liability, and share my FULL packing list for the wedding day.
This includes items I didn’t know were necessary until I needed them and didn’t have them!
(Pro-tip: a jar of peanut butter will fit perfectly in a lens slot of your camera bag)
Module 5
…now what?
You did it! You’ve established the foundation of your business, you’ve booked and photographed your first wedding, and now…. you have more photos than you know what to do with AND you’re terrified of screwing them up along the way. Take a deep breath, I gotchu, girl.
I’m going to walk you through each piece of my post-wedding workflow where you’ll learn how to seamlessly transfer your portraits from camera, to computer, to client.
No gatekeeping here. I’ll tell you all of my favorite programs + platforms for culling, editing, and delivering your wedding galleries. PLUS easy links to my personal favorite, time-tested photography essentials!

"Bethany’s course is truly one of the most helpful things I’ve invested in for me and my business!”
Okay so from here you really have two choices:
1: You can keep piecing together your wedding photography education and risk learning “what you didn’t know you didn’t know” on the job (in high stress situations) a process that took me EIGHT years! OR….
2: Enroll in Wedding Photography Jumpstart and immediately have access to alllll the things I learned the hard way so that you don’t have to. (AKA take the first step towards confidently scaling your business beyond what you could have ever dreamed possible!)
You and I both know what the better option is because…
In 2 weeks, you could be onboarding your first client.
In 2 months, you could already be raising the prices of your wedding packages.
And in a year, you could be laying out the plans to finally leave your 9-5.
But that’s ONLY IF you choose option 2 and get all of the tools, strategies, accountability, AND support that you need to make your dreams a reality inside Wedding Photography Jumpstart!
