Lightroom for Wedding and Portrait Photographers

Nathan will demonstrate how Lightroom can be used to simplify and enhance your post production process. If you aren't using Lightroom and what to see what it can do for your studio, or you've started and would love to get some tips from a pro, there are few that can show you more. If you're too far behind in your workflow from summer weddings and fall portraits to attend this seminar - this really is for you. Nathan will show you how to dig your way out of the post-production nightmare.

Dream, Build, Grow:

Learn how one photographer has gone from working part-time to one of Utah's top wedding photographers shooting 60 to 70 weddings a year. Motivated by a love for photography and his family, Brody will share how he's used unique pricing structures and innovative products to grow and sustain his store-front wedding studio. He'll walk us through his work-flow, pricing structures and some marketing strategies that have helped to maintain his thriving business.

Who is Brody Dezember:

He stepped into photography when he was an early teen and has loved photographing everything from landscapes to some of the most outrageous weddings all over the country. Over the past 7 years he has grown his business to being one of the most sought after studios in the state, but it hasn’t always been easy. In the beginning he worked overnight shifts at a retail job and spent the days in the studio’s first location in Roy. It wasn’t until the birth of his one and only son that finally made him realize that photography was what he wanted to do with his life.
