About the Workshops

​

Who are Big Day Workshops for?

Big Day Workshops are designed for photographers, videographers and content creators who want to create stronger portfolio work in beautiful locations.

Whether you're building your first portfolio or refining an established brand, our workshops are designed to give you time, access and creative freedom.

 

What kind of content will I create?

Each workshop is different, but you can expect a mix of editorial details, couple portraits, ceremony styling, reception styling and carefully planned scenes designed for modern wedding portfolios.

Full details of what is included can be found on the individual workshop page.

 

How are the days structured?

Each workshop follows a planned itinerary designed to maximise shooting opportunities while keeping the day relaxed and enjoyable.

Timings, locations and logistics are shared before the event.

Is there teaching or formal direction?

Our focus is creating an environment where you can build your portfolio.

While there are no classroom style teaching sessions, guidance and support are available throughout the workshop where needed.

 

How many people attend?

Attendance numbers vary by workshop.

We keep group sizes intentionally small and carefully manage access to scenes to help avoid overcrowding and maximise shooting opportunities.
