Weddings to Commercial: Making the Leap Without Starting Over
Most wedding and portrait photographers already have the technical skill brands are paying for. What they're missing is the positioning, the pricing model, and the access to get in front of the people who hire. This session walks the actual path from event work to commercial clients and is taught by Paul Weaver, who made the move and now shoots campaigns for brands like Garmin, Celsius, and Prada Beauty.
Attendees will learn what transfers directly from wedding work and what has to be rebuilt, how to reposition a portfolio for brand clients without a full reshoot, how commercial pricing actually works, including day rates, usage, and licensing, how to find and reach the people at brands who hire photographers, and what the first year of the transition realistically looks like.
