No More Flash Fear: Be Reception Ready | John Branch IV

Create work couples connect with and build a wedding photography business that supports your ambitions. Join Taylor Jackson, Jennifer Moher, Fer Juaristi, Elizabeth Austin, and Rebecca Yale for a full day exploring the connection between distinctive images, a compelling brand, and a profitable career.

Learn how to build a brand that gets you booked, bring cinematic atmosphere and emotion into your storytelling, and recognize the moments that make each wedding meaningful. Find the confidence to trust your creative voice, then explore how pricing and profitability can support a sustainable business.

Stage presentations, live demonstrations, and studio time with the presenters bring these ideas into focus. Bring your camera and come ready to shoot, ask questions, and discover new approaches you can carry into your next wedding.

Off-camera flash doesn't have to be complicated. In this hands-on photo walk, Jeff Chang will show you a simple, approachable way to incorporate flash into your wedding photography. Working with a couple, attendees will walk through a series of real-world scenarios, both inside and outside the hotel. Indoors, you'll learn how to use direct off-camera flash to shape light, control the environment, and create clean, intentional images. Outside, Jeff will show you how to use flash in direct sunlight to create bold, Vogue-inspired portraits with depth and drama. Bring your camera and flash. A transmitter is helpful but not necessary for this workshop. Jeff will break down his camera and flash settings, positioning, and techniques, explaining not just how he uses flash, but when and why. Leave with a repeatable workflow and the confidence to make off-camera flash a natural extension of your style.
