Hello and welcome!

Hosted by Emily Kyle Photography and Light Garden Photography. Styled shoot by Elite Events Design.

The Workshop Designed Intentionally For

Aspiring Wedding Photographers

As full-time wedding photographers, we know how hard it is to get your start and build a portfolio that will get you hired by your ideal clients. The workshops and retreats that exist serve established wedding photographers looking to level up, not new photographers looking to get their start. That’s why we decided to design the experience we wish we had when we were first starting out.

 

The Experience

 
  • Classroom style plus hands-on learning with live posing demos with real couples, and a full day of one-on-one coaching from Madison + Emily.

  • Styled shoot at a new and unique industrial Detroit wedding venue featuring multiple couples in wedding attire, a tablescape, florals, stationery styling, and decor by Elite Events Design

  • Open discussions and Q&A with Emily and Madison and one on one guidance throughout the day and during open shooting

  • Extended shooting time with multiple couples on an industrial rooftop with a striking view of downtown Detroit during golden hour

  • The opportunity to meet your peers and network with fellow Detroit wedding professionals

This Is For You If…

  • You’re looking to improve your technical skills and understanding in the context of wedding photography

  • You’re comfortable with your camera but want to better understand how to make technical choices on a wedding in conjunction with personal style preferences

  • You’re not sure how to pose couples or get stuck and nervous during sessions, thinking, “what do I do next??”

  • You’ve been photographing portraits and families but want to make the switch into weddings

  • You know you want to be photographing weddings but aren’t sure where to begin or how to take charge on the wedding day

  • You feel stuck because no one will hire you because you have little experience but can’t get the experience and portfolio images you need because no one will hire you
