Attending this workshop with Kevin was like turning on a lightbulb in my head.

This is the second training session I have done with Kevin and both have been so worth it. I came away inspired and immediately put into practice what I had learnt. All of a sudden found myself turning my business from a chore into joy.

Search intent over vanity keywords.

  • Service pages for locations and venues

5) AI and Social, Sensibly

Use AI to save time, not lose your voice.

  • Outlines, briefs, meta ideas, alt text, content repurposing

Partnerships that actually help.

  • Venue pages, gallery shares, and fair cooperation

  • How to ask for and give referrals without it feeling awkward

Yesterday I spend the whole day with Kevin other fellow eager learners of the business of wedding photography. The workshop was brilliant and 100% worth the attendance. Kevin is a highly skilled professional and delivers his knowledge in a very relaxed and accessible manner. Whatever aspects of his successful business you want to learn, he is happy to aim the day in that direction. It was a pleasure to meet him and the other guys attending and also to grab a cheeky pint after the teaching.
