The creative work is what brought you to this point, and you can’t wait to get more of it....
but the behind-the-scenes work? Not so much.

Let's talk about what this is:
When I discovered my love for photography, I was studying architecture and never felt truly satisfied with the work I was doing. That’s when I stumbled upon a Facebook album, full of gorgeous wedding photos — and knew it was what I wanted to do.
I wanted to be a photographer.
The hitch?...
I understand your hesitation.
I’ve been there, too.
I didn’t know what I was doing. I spent month after month researching tips and tricks on starting a wedding photography business, and still came up short. It was frustrating and time consuming, but after years of trial and error, I finally learned what worked.
There is no school for wedding photographers.
Which is why I'm bringing this knowledge to you.
This doesn't have to
If you know that photography is your calling, you don’t have to wait another second to get your business off the ground. No more waiting. No more procrastinating. No more fear that you don’t have what it takes.
I can give you all the proven secrets and strategies I learned firsthand.
"I've felt stagnant & wasn't sure how to move forward.. this course has been an overwhelming success for my business already. There are so many little bits of information that will forever help to build a stronger business foundation! I'm already getting higher bookings for next summer. The modules are short & sweet, but packed with goodness!
100% do it. This course will help you in all the ways you think it will & will also shine a guiding light on your next business moves."

"Not only do you go over the big things, like posing in client relationships, you also addressed things like how to organize your business. And that is something that isn’t being talked about. Definitely a favorite part for me.
I bought another photographer‘s course right before you announced yours – and I love that you have a workbook and all of the content as videos. I only have 300+ page PDFs to try to make myself read on a screen, and it’s hard for me to want to work through the course because of it. I don’t like reading on screens. I want paper, or videos to listen to and make notes during."
- Whitney Hunt
"Hi, I'm Whitney. I'm in Park City, Utah, and I've been doing this for over a decade. Cat's course is everything that you want from a photography course. How to establish good foundations for your business, and also things that even 10 years in I'm learning that I can tweak to be better. It's fantastic.
The calls that you get with the course to get feedback from others and hear others' insights is also a huge selling point. You're not going to be disappointed. Cat's teachings are great. It's a fun experience, but also you're learning and you're growing and you're motivated to make the changes that will take you to the places that you want to go in your business.
Cat, you did great. I'm so glad I got to be a part of it."

"Catherine is an awesome educator. She is honest and her personality is great. She is helpful during the learning process. She will be there to guide you along the way. This course is absolutely for you if you want to become a full-time wedding photographer. There is a lot of great information in the course that I have not learned before. I totally recommend this course for those who are serious about making wedding photography a career."
- David Truong
"Hi everybody! This is David from Always Us Studios. I'm based out in Houston, and I'm in the business for almost five years now. I had an opportunity to meet Catherine a few months ago, took her course, and all I'm saying is that it's awesome. So if you want to become a full-time wedding photographer, this course is totally for you.
Because all the information that is included in this course is going to blow your mind, okay? You can find everything from pricing, from website, copyright; networking is really important and is in there for you. So do yourself a favor, sign up for the course, and get on it. Catherine also is an awesome person.
Her personality is great. She was there for me every step of the way. Every time I had questions, she was there, answering everything for me, and I'm really, really grateful for this. Thank you so much again, Catherine. And, man, I love the course. I cannot wait to see you succeed. And also, see you again in the near future."

"I am so happy that I invested in myself and this course. As someone new to wedding photography, there are so many things I just do not know yet. After taking this course, I feel much more confident in myself and my business. I don't have to waste time figuring things out on my own and can now know I am headed in the right direction. I am confident that I will be able to grow my business into my full-time career and quit my 9-5!"
- Nicole Simensky
"Hey, I'm Nicole. I am a wedding and portrait photographer based out of Baltimore, Maryland. So I decided to take Catherine's course because I am pretty new to the wedding photography industry and I really just wanted to hit the ground running with serving my clients the best way I could. I knew that there's a lot that I could just kind of figure out on my own, or I could learn from someone who's been in the industry for a while and not have to figure out all those kinks on my own. My biggest takeaway from the course, aside from everything, was probably the pricing module. Catherine talked about it in a way that just made a lot of sense.
I don't feel like I'm just kind of pulling prices out of thin air. It kind of gives you a really good baseline and a really good understanding of how to make custom quotes and proposals for your potential clients, which is awesome. I would absolutely 100% recommend this course to anybody. Whether you are just starting out or have been in the game for a while, if you just kind of want to know what you're doing is correct or need to be pointed a different direction, this is a great course for you. And I love learning from Catherine because she's so levelheaded. She's been in the industry for a while. She has a lot of experience and I love that she's educating while also still photographing. So she's continuing to experience the same things you are on a day to day basis."

"I'm wrapping up my sixth season of shooting weddings & knew I needed the Full Time Wedding Photography Course to help me take my business to the top tier level. This course provided confirmation that I'm actually doing a lot of things right, but also addressed plenty of areas in my business that need tweaking. Catherine so graciously gives every tool needed to improve every part of your business. As a wedding photographer, I feel we should all be so lucky to be taught the in's & out's from Catherine Guidry herself. She's included it all in this course. Everything you know you need help with & everything you didn't know you needed help with. I recommend this course 100 times over."
- Lindley Rust
"I'm Lindley Rust, a wedding photographer in Jackson, Wyoming. I took Catherine Guidry's Full-Time Wedding Photography Course because I have been ready for a while to take my wedding business up to the next level. I didn't know what to do. I've been trying a lot of the same things with little to no results.
So, I thought I would give this a shot and it has been an overwhelming success for my business already. And I just completed the course in the last couple of weeks. I'm already getting higher bookings for next summer. Consistent higher bookings for next summer. And I just feel more comfortable in all of my practices, which I think is one thing I was really lacking in.
I felt really unsure of myself in a lot of things. I came away feeling very sure about a lot of my practices that I had already had in place, but also I came away with a whole toolbox of new ways of doing things and different avenues of doing things, many of which I would've never thought of. That, I'm very thankful for.
So I highly recommend, if you're ready to take your business to the next level, doing the same. You won't regret it."
Still not sure? I totally understand! Making big moves can be intimidating...
Check out what Marina, Kelsey, and Hailey have gotten out of this course. This course was designed with the photographer in mind...willing to do the hard work, wanting to take those next steps and make it happen.

"There are so many options for education out there but this course I felt offered a unique outlook from someone who is not only a great photographer and business woman but an individual who loves her job, family, clients and fellow photographers. The way Catherine Guidry intentionally taught the course from start to finish enabled the whole group to learn and then take action in our own business no matter if we had been in the industry 3, 5 or 10 years."
- Maria Darbonne
"Hi, I'm Marina Darbonne. I'm from Lake Charles, Louisiana, and I am the owner of Marina Photography. I had started my business about five years ago, and two of those, the two past years, I have been focusing on weddings. Fell in love with the wedding industry. But when I transitioned into weddings, I never properly set up the foundation or structure for my business correctly.
I struggled with a lot of things like marketing and pricing and client onboarding, but there was actually things, a lot of things that I didn't even know that I was struggling with. I could tell that I was lacking that structure. So when I came across this course, I felt like it was a perfect opportunity in where my business is at, where I was at, and in the timing for this course, when it came out, for me to actually put some effort into revamping or maybe taking a step back to take a couple steps forward. So, thankfully, this course not only gave me answers to a lot of the questions that I had or the things that I was struggling with, but it also gave me long-term goals and a plan and kind of set me up for future success versus just fix the immediate problems I was having.
And it was taught in such a way that it gave you all the tools that you needed, but also left room for you to have your own individual business. And that's something, maybe the biggest takeaway that I had from this, was learning from Catherine Guidry. Because learning from someone that you genuinely admire or that is a seasoned wedding photographer is great, but learning from someone who genuinely wants you to succeed will make all the difference. And that was very evident throughout the course, throughout the Zoom calls and even meeting the other people taking the course was a huge impact. So yes, I'm very thankful for this course and for the timing and the balance that the lessons gave us and the way that they were planned out in order for us to, you know, grow and to create those business plans, but still be ourselves; still be our individual selves and create success not just within our business, but even our personal lives, creating those boundaries that we all need when we run our own business.
So definitely very thankful and can't wait to watch this become a huge success. Thank you."

"Speaking from the heart when I say “This course has changed everything in my business & outlook on life.” It has given me the knowledge & power to do so many things I’ve wanted to do & not wanted to do. Honestly, I never thought I’d be able to be a full-time wedding photographer until NOW! It has motivated me to restructure my business and have everything in place before making the decision. Some call it a “leap of faith.” While it is sort of that; Catherine is my parachute in my leap. She has given me the tools I’ve needed to move forward. I can now love and serve my clients better than I have ever been able to while still staying professional and true to my self and them. I am honored to have learned from the best in the industry."
- Kelsey Chauvin
"Hello everyone. I'm Kelsey Chauvin. I'm from Houma, Louisiana, and I have been a photographer professionally for four years now. I decided to take this course because I needed a little direction. I have dabbled in the wedding industry for the last two years and need a little direction to jump from a local market to a luxury market.
And when I got the opportunity to learn from Catherine Guidry, I decided to take full advantage of it. My biggest takeaway from the Full-Time Wedding Photography course was there were a ton of light bulb moments. Catherine made me realize that I need to basically restructure pricing. She says something that resonates with me and it is, "What would you show up for?"
Obviously we're showing up for all of the beautiful moments in between the beginning of the wedding and the start of the wedding. "She made me realize my worth, and what I actually just really want to show up for. So I cannot thank her enough for that. I would totally recommend this course for anyone and everyone, whether you're beginning in the industry or you're even in the middle or the latter end of your professional career. There is something in this course for everyone.
Every single lesson, every single module - there is something in there that can better you. There were so many moments and high points in this course that I cannot even remember every single thing. So it's really important to take good notes and reread and rewatch and do all the things to remember what you've learned.
This content is jampacked full of helpfulness. The course is amazing. I really liked learning from Catherine herself. She as a human, as a person, wife, mother, photographer, she radiates positivity. She is one of those, "Always do the right thing," kind of people. So to learn from her has been quite a blessing and quite a treasure.
She speaks to your heart. She speaks to your soul, and I am so happy and so grateful that I had the opportunity to learn from her, and I would invest in her. I would invest my time and my money and everything into anything she has to offer. She's successful and she's beautiful, and she is there for you, and you totally 100% feel that from the moment you meet her.
This opportunity has been a blessing for me. I cannot wait to take all of her teachings and all of her recommendations and suggestions and her connections in the wedding industry and just move forward from here. I'm forever grateful. Thanks."

"I think my biggest win is reworking my pricing. I realized although I wasn’t booking the number of weddings per year that I wanted all my clients were booking my previous highest package and then adding on extra. So I was able to increase my offerings. I also gained a lot of knowledge on marketing and receiving referrals so I’m excited to implement this to increase my bookings. I also know have a newfound awareness of how I come across to my clients and how to ensure the wedding day is about them!"
- Hailey Tate
"Hey, my name is Hailey with Hailey Madison Photography based out of Zachary, Louisiana, and I have the privilege of being one of the first people to complete Catherine Guidry's Full-Time Wedding Photography course. So a little bit of backstory on me. I opened my business in 2017 and I started shooting my first weddings that year, and I would kind of do it on the side for a few years until 2021 when I was pregnant.
And then I decided to really start putting in the effort and by 2022 with my one year old at home, I decided to leave my job in the medical field to pursue photography full time. That was great and all, but there was no real plan. I just knew that I was doing what I loved. Clients were coming in and I was making some money, but everything in between there, I didn't really have figured out.
And that's where I feel like Catherine's course kind of integrated perfectly into my business. By this point, about five years into my business, I have probably thousands of dollars worth of money invested in education from local colleges, mentoring with photographers in my area, online courses. But I really felt like there was something different about Catherine's course.
My personal favorite part was her take on pricing. So, like I said, I've mentored, done lots of courses, but I had never heard it explained and seen Catherine's take on pricing. As soon as I finished watching that module, I instantly went and remade my pricing guide. That's how influential it was to me. And another thing I really liked about her course was the live calls.
You can really get on there and feel like you're being mentored personally by Catherine, and every time you talk to her, you can just tell how much she loves and truly has a passion for photography and educating. So it was really nice to connect with her and the others in the group and kind of bounce ideas off of each other and really learn from others who are experts in the industry.
And it was, it was really fun to connect with everybody. So I am really excited to implement everything that I learned into my business. I have so many things that I took away from this course and I'm ready to start implementing, and I have already seen the changes for the better that this course has done for my business.
So I'm so excited to grow my business and see where it takes me in the future, and I can't wait for you guys to dive in."

"This course has made a positive change on how I see and run my business! From the moment I started listening I started making changes and seeing everything in a different perspective. From setting goals to myself to learning how to formulate my prices to even how to create a simple an easy way to effectively communicate with my clients. I love that even when I was a was caught up with household duties or on the go I could still listen to it, like a podcast, and then just go back on my work book and do my Action steps. The work books are a great tool added to this course, to be able to write down all my plans, changes to make, and questions or note on each specific topic was a plus for me."
- Lenisse Robertson
"Hello, I'm Lenisse. I'm the owner of Lenisse Robertson Photography and I completed part one and part two of the Full Time Wedding Photography course with Catherine Guidry. And it has been amazing. I've learned so much. From the beginning I started setting goals, I started making positive changes to the way that I run my business.
It has been great. My two favorite parts of this course has been the pricing module. I know this can be a sensitive topic, but the way that Catherine explains it, it's just mind blowing. It just makes so much sense from the start to the end. Also, the client management module, it has so much great information.
She gives so many great tips. I put this into practice right away and I can already see, I can already say that it has been working greatly to my favor. The way that Catherine explains each topic is just so great. It is just so easy to understand. I can even listen on the go, like if it's a podcast, and then go to my workbook and complete my action steps.
The level of confidence that I've gained after taking this course is just unbelievable. I highly recommend this course to anybody in the wedding industry."
