Introduction: What Is Our Purpose & Our Goals In This Course?

Welcome to Photographing Group Portraits, the 7th course in the Wedding Workshop Series! Our mission remains the same as it did throughout this series: to create consistently incredible images, but this time with a focus on group portraiture. We want to create formal portraits that sell product and brands without you having to do extra work in marketing or advertising your business.

Purpose & Goals

  • Be a Director
  • Artistry/Opportunity
  • Revenue/Wall Art
  • Social Share-Ability
  • Direct Marketing

This course is designed to incorporate a lot of the same concepts we’ve discussed in this series but on a magnified scale. In Photographing the Bride/Groom we covered posing to an extensive level, but this course will dive into the nitty gritty and dynamics involved with group posing.
