HANDS ON WEDDING WALK-THROUGH

MARCH 25-26TH, 2024 | FOUR SEASONS LUXURY HOTEL, SAN FRANCISCO

A FULL DAY WEDDING WALK-THROUGH EXPERIENCE

After teaching over 20 workshops & conferences all around the globe, meeting hundreds of photographers, one of the questions that keeps coming up is “how do I actually shoot a luxury wedding?” Sure, you can definitely learn the strategies on how to attract the right kind of clientele, but how do you actually shoot it when you do get it? We are talking about elevated posing that’s befitting of a high end editorial, details that will get you published, and satisfy the expectations of your planning partners. If this is you, this is the perfect workshop for you.

In the first of its kind format; Jeremy will guide you through an entire day of how he documents a wedding at the Four Seasons 5-star luxury hotel in San Francisco. He will take the students from getting ready all the way to shooting the reception at night with flash. You will get a ‘behind the scenes’ look on how Jeremy and his team works on a wedding day from the beginning to the end.

In addition, there will be plenty of classroom time to learn about all the tried and true strategies to refine your business and elevate your brand. Jeremy will teach on Pricing, Custom Proposals, Defining Your Brand, Attracting Your Ideal Clients and more!

KIND WORDS FROM PREVIOUS ATTENDEES

  • Joanna Canelas // Joanna Canelas Photography

    Finally, a workshop from a renowned photographer who genuinely cares to see his students succeed. There are no words to describe how enriched with knowledge I feel after attending Jeremy’s workshop. I now have a strategy and a guideline on how to refine my business and take it to the next level. Jeremy is transparent, frank and does not hold back. He will let you dive into his brain and explain why certain methods work and why other methods keep you stuck. I will recommend this workshop to anyone who’s ready to elevate their business and enter into the luxury market.

  • Joie Thongsavath // Simple Joi Photography

    Jeremy Chou is the real deal! I think my favorite thing about this workshop is how transparent he is about sharing his step by step on how he got to where he is today. Jeremy even reviewed every attendee's website and instagram, and while we almost ran out of time, he made sure to give everyone the same attention before moving onto other things. I've attended a few workshops in the past and this by far may be the game changer for my career development! I highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking to up their game and move into the luxury wedding market!

  • Tee Lambert // Tee & Rebecca

    Honestly, this was one of the BEST investments for our business. Going in, we didn't know what to expect but Jeremy was so down to earth, approachable, funny, and he was just him with ZERO ego brought into the mix. I always get a little nervous when I am around high caliber individuals but Jeremy broke down all those barriers. His insight on not only the industry as a whole, but how to become successful is far than none. We couldn't recommend him enough and in fact looking at investing for an individual time with him down the road!!

  • Helena Wong // Helena Wong Photography

    Jeremy's workshop really exceeded my expectations. In group settings, my expectations of how much time and attention I'd get from the teacher is pretty minimal, but Jeremy is extremely personable and gives you the time and attention you need. I felt that he did a great job at pulling back the curtain with providing you info on what it takes to get your business to the next level and he really doesn't hold information back. I really loved how he even came up to each photographer and adjusted their composition or would help with posing during the styled shoot. He keeps it real and I felt that the information was presented in a way where it was easily consumable but also actionable. I would highly recommend taking his class as an investment into yourself - you won't regret it!

FAQ

Can we use the images for publication purposes?

Absolutely! You may use the images for portfolio, social media, submit for publications. All I ask is please credit all vendors involved for the shoot, and let the planner have control in which publications to submit to.

What if I have to cancel or reschedule?

Due to nature of putting together a workshop, and all the effort that goes into it prior to the workshop. Once you commit and pay the fee, there will be no refund or rescheduling. However you may transfer your ticket to another photographer.

What type of design will we be shooting?

It will be a shoot designed with attracting luxury clientele in mind. With professional models & sophisticated styling that will help you elevate your brand.

Will I be able to follow up with you after workshop is over?

Yes of course! About 6 months after the workshop, we will schedule a one hour video call so I can check in and follow up with you. This is included in your initial investment.

Is it okay if I shoot only digital?

Some of my students have never shot film before, and it’s totally okay! I will be shooting 100% film. If you haven’t shot film before, or are fairly new, I highly recommend shooting both digital + film.

What if there are two photographers in my studio?

You will receive a 10% discount if both photographers attend.
