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.
