There are few areas of photography that are more satisfying than wedding photography. Not only is it an ideal learning arena for budding photographers, it is a privilege to be involved with such a happy event, helping couples to create memories that will last a lifetime. Like any profession, wedding photography is a competitive business, so it is important to build your skills and knowledge to give you the best chance of success. Our Diploma in Wedding Photography has been created to enable you to develop all of the technical skills, awareness and creativity that you need to master the art of wedding photography. The course consists of eight lessons spread over four weeks and will help you to lay the groundwork for a successful career as a wedding photographer.

Customer Service and Organisation skills

The first two lessons deal with the foundations of being a successful wedding photographer. Lesson one takes you through the basics and looks at the wide-range of skills involved, including the importance of providing good customer service, while lesson two takes an in-depth look at how to organise your work as a wedding photographer.

Preparation and Management

In the third lesson, you will learn how to plan a wedding shoot, teaching you the key steps involved in preparing and managing the occasion. Lessons four and five will show you which moments of the wedding you can’t afford to miss, and how to take the stress out of group photography, while in lesson six, you will learn how to take unplanned and unposed shots known as candid photos, which can add spontaneity and emotion to a shoot.

Presentation and Reputation

The final two lessons will take you through the post-shoot process. In lesson seven you will learn which processing system will help you to get the most out of your work as a photographer, and lesson eight outlines the importance of presenting your photos to your clients, teaching you the steps you need to know in order to showcase your work effectively and to enhance your reputation as a wedding photographer.
