Class Description

Wedding photography demands more than camera skills. You have to control light in changing conditions, direct people quickly, deliver variety under pressure, manage the day, and build a business that stays profitable.

This full-day precon condenses Michael Anthony’s three-day Elevate wedding workshop into the systems that make the biggest difference. In live demonstrations, students will learn the five lighting commandments, posing for individuals, couples, and groups, and the SX3 method for creating Standard, Story, and Signature images at every location.

Michael will then connect the shoot to wedding-day flow, post-production, client experience, pricing, and a practical marketing plan. Built for working wedding photographers who want stronger images, smoother execution, consistent bookings, and better profit. You will leave with repeatable frameworks you can put to work at your next wedding.
