written by

Jac

This month on Academy TV we are focusing on the Styled Shoot and how it can help you with the marketing of your wedding business. I’m sure you’ve all seen the gorgeous images featured on blogs such as Style Me Pretty, Love My Dress, B.Loved and Burnett’s Boards, to name but a few. But how do these images get created? How do the people involved come up with a concept? Well if you’ve never done a styled shoot before and have a list of burning questions then you’re in luck. We are in the process of creating a Styled Shoot Mini E Course that will be available at the end of this month and we can’t wait to share it with you.

To give you a little taster we’ve created a series of videos to go with the course and we have some trailers from these videos to share with you over the next five weeks, so hold onto your hats and enjoy the ride. Oh and just in case you didn’t know our next issue of the Wedding Business Magazine is all about styled shoots and we have some fantastic interviews including one with the fabulous Louise of B.Loved.
