For wedding photographers and creative entrepreneurs!
Do you want a passion project or a thriving business?
What began with a 35mm film camera off eBay has evolved into a thriving and international wedding photography business that's taken me from parties in Ibiza to grand celebrations in the vineyards of Tuscany.
Over the past twelve years, I've transformed my approach from being just another photographer taking on every wedding enquiry possible, to becoming a sought-after artist who couples trust to capture their luxury event.
And here's the truth: this journey hasn't just been about taking better photos - it's been about building a business that serves my life, not consumes it.
How to take your business from zero to six figures, without burnout!
Hey, I'm Sam.
I remember the days of shooting ten weddings a month at £500 each, exhausted and wondering if this was sustainable, it wasn't!!
Now, I selectively photograph 2, maybe 3 weddings a month during the summer, commanding over £5000 per event, and I've never felt more creatively fulfilled. This didn't happen by accident. It took developing systems, refining my craft, and most importantly, learning to value my art and time.
Worked as a wedding photographer for 12 years
Weddings worldwide, from the UK to Spain, to France, Italy, even to Antigua.
Hosted 14+ workshops
Educated over 500 photography students
Multiple event speaker
The roadmap I created along the way is what I'm sharing with you, because I believe every passionate photographer deserves to build a business that brings both creative satisfaction and financial freedom, without sacrificing their personal life in the process.
" This is hands down
the best investment
I've ever made
in my business "
