HELPING YOU BLEND STRATEGY WITH CREATIVITY

MENTORING FOR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS AND WEDDING BUSINESS OWNERS

Whether you’re just starting out in the wedding industry or you’re an established business owner wanting to reach the next level, my mentoring can support you.

Before building my wedding business I spent 10 years working in communications and marketing. My unique perspective gives me an appreciation of the creative passion that drives wedding businesses, but also the strategic mindset needed to be successful.

Whatever you’re struggling with, I’ve got the knowledge, experience, empathy and tools to help you.

WHETHER YOU’RE CONFUSED ABOUT YOUR CLIENT JOURNEY, OVERWHELMED BY WORKFLOWS, INTIMATED BY INSTAGRAM OR IN SEARCH OF ALL-ROUND SUPPORT, I CAN HELP YOU

Chloë Caldwell Photography

WHY TRUST ME TO BE YOUR MENTOR?

As wedding business owners we’re expected to do it all…and do it all well – which isn’t easy!

Mastering every part of your business takes time. But the quickest way to get to where you want to be is to learn from someone who is already there…which is where mentoring comes in!

With my Business Management degree and 10-year corporate career, I built a successful business from scratch and have learnt a lot along the way. 

I’ve been where you are now, and I’ve also got the tools, experience and knowledge to help you get to where you want to be.

SO MANY WEDDING BUSINESS OWNERS ARE MOTIVATED TO TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL BUT JUST DON’T KNOW HOW

So whether you’re confused about your client journey, worried about workflows or intimidated by Instagram, I can help.

My mentoring programmes are designed to give you the motivation, confidence and guidance to achieve your goals and elevate your business.

And, of course, my relaxed, open and friendly approach means that we’ll have a lot of fun along the way!

You’ll be able to ask as many questions as you like, gain confidence where it’s currently lacking, and of course you’ll also leave with some lovely images for your own portfolio.

This option is available at my discretion and as an add-on to existing mentees only.

– WHAT A REAL WEDDING IS LIKE

– HOW I APPROACH EVERY PART OF THE DAY FROM PREP TO DANCEFLOOR

– HOW I POSE AND DIRECT COUPLES AND GROUPS

– GUEST & TIMELINE MANAGEMENT

…AND SO MUCH MORE!

FAQs

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM ME?

Take a breath because I’m going to say this with love…

Mentoring is not meant to be comfortable. Enjoyable and rewarding, yes, but comfortable, no. In fact, a lot of the time I will intentionally be pushing you out of your comfort zone (albeit in a very friendly and helpful way!).

If you sign up to mentoring with me you need to be open to doing things differently and committed to putting the work in. When we agree actions to be done before our next session, I expect you to have done them.

This may sound quite harsh but I’m saying these things with love because I know what needs to be done. I will absolutely be there to support and help you level-up your business, but I cannot do it for you.

IS THE MENTORING JUST FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS?

Nope! Whilst I can help with photography-specific subjects, the majority of my mentoring topics are relevant to all wedding industry professionals, whatever your niche.

WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?

A notebook and an open mind!

ARE PAYMENT PLANS AVAILABLE?

Payment plans are available for my 6-month Elevate mentoring programme.
