EDUCATION
We truly believe that knowledge should be shared.
If you’re an aspiring wedding videographer or photographer, trying to find your identity and style, and you need some guiding.
We know how it is – we’ve been there as well.
When, back in 2012, we started working in the wedding videography industry, we were lucky to have prior education in many areas important to what we do – film language, communication and marketing, to name a few. We also had experience working in the film and theater industry. So we know how important knowledge is and how much it can influence our paths.
WORKSHOPS & CONFERENCES
While we host our own workshop – Something Blue Workshop – we’ve also been invited to speak at various workshops and conferences.
These are a great way to share the knowledge and experience we gathered from the many years and hundreds of weddings we have shot.

ONE-TO-ONE MENTORING
Mentoring Sessions &
Personalized Workshops
We also host smaller, more personal mentoring sessions. These sessions are tailored to the participant needs and can cover a wide range of topics.
Mentoring Sessions and personalized workshops are great for those with unique needs or specific goals in their learning.
Sometimes you can’t participate in a traditional group workshop, or you did and just want want to further develop a specific aspect of your business.
Mentoring is also very helpful for in-house training.
While we try to steer away from rigid talking points in our mentoring sessions, these are some of the topics we can help you with.

How to market yourself and how to reach your dream client.
Shooting
How we shoot during a wedding day, what’s our thought process and how we adapt to obstacles.
