"We are now booking weddings at 4x the price as before! We feel so motivated, supported, and excited for what is coming.
We didn’t quite know that we were ready for the luxury world until this course opened our eyes. We knew we could make good films, but it felt like a long way until we could start charging what we thought our work deserved.
While there is a lot of great technical and creative content, this is at its root a business course, which makes it really unique for videographers.
Using the amazing tools they gave us led us to booking to at least 3 new weddings that were easily our largest contracts to date (nearly double what we were charging). Since then, we've booked two other similar weddings and another wedding for 2025 at almost 4 times our original prices a year ago, we are so excited!
Even if your business is not quite ready for the leap to the full luxury space, the tools you learn will undoubtedly help with the big jump to the next level, and lay the groundwork for entering into that luxury space fully prepared. Learning about better communication was one of the biggest learnings and gains from the program, even outside the luxury space it’s invaluable - having that mentality to dress (and conduct ourselves) for the job we want!
"Our business is in the middle of an amazing transformation"
"This course is a transformative experience that helps you...make strategic business decisions.
We wanted to take our brand to the next level and break into the luxury market. This course not only met but exceeded our expectations!
Taylor and Kelley provided a clear and practical step-by-step guide on transforming our business and making a successful entry into the high-end market. Their valuable insights would have taken us years to gather through trial and error!
