Have you ever wondered what a leading photographer’s full galleries, business bank account, client processes or marriage/family life actually look like? When social media only shows the outside and glossy view, how do you know what actually works - what’s just smoke and mirrors? Join Perry as she combines her signature wit and honesty with helpful insight that will divulge the secrets that few openly talk about outside of their circles of friends. She’ll discuss both what has worked for her, and what has failed along the way. Attendees are provided access to look through her full wedding galleries, her finances over the years, the ways she approaches leads, clients and workflow and how she keeps her heart focused on a full life outside of the profession we obsess over. This special talk will not ever be repeated on a Main Stage, and is intended for the more intimate Master Class atmosphere only. Open Q&A will be encouraged throughout to allow the conversation to serve the students organically so they can walk away with answers to the questions that really matter to them.

There is more to a successful wedding photography business than just taking pretty photos. In this master class we will walk through determining what we’ve found to be the most critical elements to breaking into the luxury market, and creating an intentional brand and business. We will deep dive into the business aspects to help you achieve your goals, and walk you through how we went from just booking whatever came in to booking the weddings that excite us. We will guide you through how we produce work that brings us creative fulfillment, and how we have used that work to elevate our brand. You will have an opportunity to watch how we approach a shoot, and get an inside look at our thought process. Learn how we plan for each wedding day or editorial, and how preparation and groundwork has set us up for success not only with the clients and planners but also fueling our creativity. Learn from our journey (successes and mistakes) and the steps that we have taken to get where we are now.

You’ve just watched Elizabeth shoot and now it’s your turn to shoot her exact set-up and have personalized instruction and coaching from Elizabeth while you are behind the camera. Everyone will get at least 10 mins of 1.1 time with the model and Elizabeth. When you are not shooting, it’s the perfect time to learn from watching the other attendees being coached as well. Elizabeth will also have several flat lay set-ups available for you to photograph for your portfolio.

This class is limited to 12 attendees and only available if you attended her earlier class on the same day.
