VIP 1:1 COACHING
I’m an internationally acclaimed wedding photographer whose journey began in the music world, capturing iconic artists for magazines such as NME.

Because You Don't Get a Second Chance at Weddings
Claire Morris
ABOUT
Before digital perfection, I learned my craft on film — when every frame mattered. There was no AI or editing to rescue a shot; you had to know your camera inside out. That discipline shaped the mastery I bring to every image today.
This immersive training is for photographers ready to master their camera, pose every body type with confidence, and handle any environment with ease — from candlelit receptions and badly lit ceremonies to harsh midday portraits and fast-moving moments. You’ll leave with refined technical skill and the quiet confidence that defines a true luxury photographer.
Film-Era Precision Meets Modern Luxury
Step into mastery with one of Europe’s most experienced wedding photographers
A wedding day is one of the most demanding environments a photographer can face — fast-paced, unpredictable, and filled with constantly changing light and scenes.
One minute you’re photographing a candlelit ceremony in a dark church, and moments later you’re outside under harsh midday sun or racing to capture a reception in moody, mixed lighting.
You have only seconds to decide: Do I use flash? Direct flash? Bounce? No flash at all?
All while staying calm, gracious, and keeping your smile for the guests.
Even seasoned photographers can get stressed under pressure here. Many talented photographers freeze the moment they step indoors, relying on luck or auto settings because low light feels too hard. But at the luxury level, there is no margin for error — not when suppliers like planners, venues, and florists expect flawless, editorial-quality images that showcase their hard work, too.
Your role is to make every scene — every detail — look its absolute best, whatever the light, location, or pressure. And that kind of mastery doesn’t come from trial and error. It comes from deep understanding, precision, and confidence under pressure.

Posing Guidance
Master your camera with confidence and total control — no guesswork, just precision.

Camera Mastery

From golden sunlight to candlelit dinners, you’ll learn to read, shape, and create light with precision. We’ll explore natural light, off-camera flash, and mixed-light environments, so you can shoot confidently in churches, receptions, or bright midday sun. You’ll understand how to balance colour, contrast, and tone for images that feel alive and luxurious — straight out of camera.
Lighting & Technical Excellence
Understand how to use flash as an artistic tool, not a crutch. Whether you’re working with on-camera flash or professional off-camera setups, you’ll learn how to control light direction, intensity, and balance — creating flattering, dimensional lighting that enhances the atmosphere rather than overpowering it.

Luxury success isn’t just about your portfolio — it’s about your mindset. Release the fears that keep you playing small — visibility, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, burnout, comparison, and the constant pressure to prove yourself. Learn to show up with calm confidence, attract aligned clients, and build a business that feels as good as it looks.
