Real Wedding Workshops

Exceptional wedding photography at a great price

Having an intimate workshop at your wedding

What This Means for Your Wedding

You’re hiring Jason Lanier as your primary wedding photographer, just like any other booking. The difference? Your wedding will include a small group of photographers learning under Jason’s direct supervision in a way that doesn’t interfere with your wedding.

In exchange for allowing Jason to bring photographers to learn and shoot your wedding, you receive a significant discount off of Jason’s normal wedding photography rates.
