Look at what you get when you join ATP Members...

The Wedding Photography Blueprint is the most in-depth digital wedding photography foundation course on the web that is designed to give anyone the chance to become a successful wedding photographer, regardless of experience or knowledge. These extensive and easy to understand DVD's and eBook make your learning curve as easy as "painting by numbers

"Just wanted to say thanks. I got the DVD course at the end of last year in preparation for a friends wedding. I gave them the photos last week and they are absolutely thrilled. Definitely could not have done it without your help. The basic camera setting you recommend in the DVD was worth the price on it's own. I didn't get a single badly exposed shot " - Lee Brookes, UK.


So how can you put it to work for YOU and what will YOU get out of this?

1. Knowledge!

Knowledge is King, and when you fully understand not only how to capture and present stunning wedding images but also how the whole wedding "thing" works, your confidence levels will soar to new heights.

2. Confidence!

Confidence is everything is this game. If you have confidence in your equipment, capture settings and what is required from you throughout the entire wedding (including the planning stages and post-wedding duties), your self confidence and belief will grow and you WILL excel at this and earn respect from those around you.

3. Respect!

Once you earn respect from your first wedding couple, that respect grows as they tell their friends and families about you (who DOESN'T show off their wedding albums?). Then, as you become busier, you gain respect from your peers and associates and from then on the world is your oyster and in comes the money.

4. Money! (You notice that money is number 4, you CANNOT get much of it without getting the first three!)

Once you achieve the above and have absolute faith in yourself, the money just comes. Money is attracted to those who desire it the most and desire coupled with knowledge and faith in yourself can do amazing things...even earn you your freedom!

5. Freedom!

There is no better feeling than the day when you sack your boss! Once you reach a level of income and confidence in your business, it is time to go it alone and that feels good, very good. You become completely self sufficient and it is addictive believe me! No slacking once you get there now!

6. Support!

Once you have digested this course, we are always here for support, any time. In fact we are currently working on some new projects that will guarantee our support in the future. We love this business, we love talking about it and we love helping others to enjoy this great lifestyle. We have, for the last four years, personally answered thousands of emails from new photographers all over the world and we are not about to stop now.


Written, filmed and edited by professional wedding photographers with over 25 years experience, these tutorials have been designed as a type of home study course.

You can study at your own pace either online at your home PC, out and about on your media phone or you can buy a copy in our store for the cost of shipping and handling once you are a member. You can learn how to shoot, edit and present award winning images for your portfolio or to your clients.

Price

After shooting this course over a full weekend, I asked the students out of interest what they would happily pay for the entire home study set and most feedback was in the region of £200-400 ($400-$800). This was based on the price of our one day wedding photography course being £195 ($395) and the fact that this set includes so much more coupled with the fact that you get a hard copy for reference whenever you want!

Going by the ethics and philosophy that I built my current business and website upon when I started helping other photographers succeed, I decided to make this course affordable to everyone. The DVD's were originally launched at $295 and have recently been selling for $214 all over the world...and now they are all available to see and read within this site!


If you want to be a success in this business, you have to speculate to accumulate and that means spending cash on equipment and training and the most valuable resource...time! Time to practice what you have learnt until you are 100% confident when shooting weddings and that is our goal for you...to give you that confidence with the knowledge to make it work!

"Thanks for the email offering me an incredible discount, I purchased your blue print DVD's within seven days. Always looking for a bargain, off went my hard earned pounds and what did I get by return in the post - four excellent DVD's. These DVD's have already saved my commercial life three times in the last twelve days.

Wedding Photography Tutorials

Although I have been taking wedding photographs for the last twenty five years (one a year) since graduating from Art College I am still learning. I set up as a professional wedding photographer earlier this year after buying £*000's worth of Nikon digital pro camera kit, an Apple Mac and assorted software packages (God bless my wife).

I am a natural salesman so had no problem getting paying clients to use my rusty services but I was really in at the deep end. Never mind, press on regardless and take the pictures - talk about skating on thin ice.

Off I went to a natural light wedding seminar and my advanced knowledge base went through the roof. All I needed now was the basics - and my concerns were quickly satisfied when your DVD's dropped through the door. The practical skills you demonstrated, I was able to use virtually two days after watching the DVD's.

I started to hone my skills further (as per your DVD) last Saturday at a large wedding held in a beautiful country church, local castle complete with marquee and 300 stunning guests dancing the night away at disco with an unbelievable light show.

All these lighting situations would have fazed me had I not watched the DVD's (and read the eBook) before attending this wedding.

Thanks for your help and good luck with the new business activity. PS I am available for second shooting gigs anytime you are in the Midlands (or Tuscany, Santorini, Mykonos and California)

Regards and keep up the good work - B.P. United Kingdom."

We are so sure that this will give you the confidence you need to be a success, you have nothing to lose but a wonderfully profitable and fun wedding photography business to gain.

Hello Nick,

I am so glad that I got that problem with PayPal sorted. I received the discs a few days later and all I want to say is "Wow, probably the best tutorials I have ever bought".

The professionalism of the videos, the way it then cuts to show the result in Photoshop is awesome. You've a great manner and no ego and I can see you really want to get it across to your students. - T.H. Dublin.


Worried about the economy where you are?

Most of the big companies were started during and thrived after the great depression of the 1930's..."hard times" are the best times to start or grow a business.

Things get cheaper as businesses compete for your hard earned cash and banks start to panic and offer guidance and help for serious business start-ups in hope to capture your custom in the future.

A good business model backed by an intelligent and forward thinking person can ride out and even thrive from any financial depression. In fact, some of the richest money brokers in the world depend on hard times to move in and make their millions! Buy low, sell high.

The economy is in many ways controlled by the media so do me a favour. Switch off the TV for a couple of weeks and look around you...are the shops empty? No. Just get your head down and get on with it. Whatever business you are in, weddings, portraits, commercial etc, just put on your blinkers and move forward regardless. Sadly, "normal" jobs are the first to be threatened by economic downturns but a savvy business person, big or small, full or part time, can ride it out and just carry on with "business as usual".

If the economy is really bad where you are, promote your services in other countries...many wedding photographers do these days!


Worried you are not good enough?

Many of the portfolios you see online are filled with great shots, sure. Most of those shots come from a variety of many different weddings. Don't feel that you need to be able to shoot award-winning images with every click of the shutter.

As long as you can learn to consistently produce well exposed and well composed images that tell the story of the day, you are on the right track. Over time with more and more weddings under your belt, you will also start to build a library of cracking images that will eventually make up a stunning portfolio!


Worried about the cost of joining ATP Members?

I have spent thousands over the years perfecting my photography business whether it is on equipment, software, advertising and marketing, training and studying or anything else I thought necessary. You won't get anywhere without spending a little money...well, you will but a lot slower.

I now feel that I have a fantastic, enjoyable business, not just because of the work, but also because of all the "fun stuff" I have to play with that helps my creativity at every opportunity. I built my wedding photography business for the second time in Spain with the philosophy that I would buy whatever I needed and then use those tools to earn back the cost as soon as possible. If I didn't...I failed. I haven't failed yet.

I have never had such a buzz in business as I do from shooting a wedding...it is like a drug. I keep trying to quit so I can concentrate on teaching others through my websites and courses but it keeps calling me back. How can you refuse when you are asked to shoot a wedding for your top end package in Spain or Italy or even the Caribbean?

Join us now and rest assured that you have our full support, any time, as you set up and move forward with your wedding photography business!
