Business & Legal Stuff (the not-so-fun but very important things)
✓ setting up your photography business the right way
✓ contracts, invoices, and client communication
✓ taxes for photographers (what to track, what to save, what actually matters)
✓ pricing your wedding photography with confidence
✓ knowing when to raise your prices (and not panic about it)
Marketing & Booking Weddings
✓ how wedding photographers actually get booked

✓ using Pinterest to attract dream wedding clients
