The Waldorf Workshop - April 26-27

The art and business of wedding photography

Learn from one of the most successful studios in the country -  Bill Waldorf spent several years as Creative Director for a large chain of retail stores and was later promoted to SVP of Marketing where he learned the principles of running a successful business. He applied that experience to the field of wedding photography when he opened his studio over 11 years ago. Bill Waldorf has photographed hundreds of weddings regionally and internationally and has received numerous awards. He also photographs commercially for Saks Fifth Avenue, Vera Bradley and JetFast as well as several other large corporations nationwide. His studio is now among the top 5% of most successful studios nationwide. 

With the Waldorf Workshop, you will learn not only how to capture compelling images that your clients will value, but also how to price your work in a competitive environment and maximize your sales per client. Whether you are an aspiring photographer just starting out, or have an established business, you will definitely benefit from his workshop. Learn his secrets to running a sustainable business while pursuing your passion of photography.
