Struggle mountain
Have you been wanting to book elopements and destination weddings, but somehow those dream clients can't seem to find you? All you want to do is break out of the traditional and local mold, but you keep hearing crickets in your inbox.
I think we've all been there and photographers who tell you they haven't, probably have a very selective memory :
Now, don't get me wrong, I love mountains but this one can be an absolutely intimidating pain in the behind. You need a strategy, a bulletproof plan. You need someone who can show you how to reach your people and how to get booked.
S.O.S.
Are you a wedding photographer struggling to break into the international elopement market? I can help you get off Struggle Mountain.
ARE YOU READY TO flip your own script?
That's why a 1:1 intensive program with an experienced coach is the way to get your show on the road. Making the switch from local to international weddings, truly is possible for every photographer willing to put in the work. The world is waiting for you!
relying on 'hope-marketing' and wasting precious time, not knowing how to reach your people
endlessly scrolling on Instagram, feeling down about why others seem to succeed but you haven't (yet!)
basing your marketing on a proven strategy that will attract your dream clients in your dream destinations
being fuelled by new inspiration and endless creativity every time a new destination-inquiry enters your inbox
no longer paying attention to others because you know exactly what you need to do - and it's working
being paid for what you are worth by clients who value your uniqueness and who fully trust your expertise
Right now you might be thinking: “Yes to all that, but… now what!?”
No worries, you’ve ended up exactly where you need to be.
To this:
Work with me
being the CEO of the Uninspired Club, feeling frustrated, drained and stuck in one place
What if I told you that you could go from...
This:
spending thousands on international portfolio workshops, but still not getting booked
constantly being challenged for your prices by price-shoppers who don't see the value of what you do
creating your own styled shoots and knowing how to use them strategically to be found by the right people
a cookie-cutter approach is not going to get you where you want to go. a personal masterplan tailored to your uniqueness, will.
When I started out as an elopement photographer in 2017 after being a photojournalist, there was hardly a roadmap to where I wanted to go. I had to figure it out mostly on my own and made a crapload of very expensive mistakes. So learn from my mistakes by investing in education that is designed to see you succeed!
After these three months you'll know:
Available in English, Dutch and Afrikaans
You don't have to do it alone
It's you and me friend, for three whole months. It's effective and intense, in all the right ways. In these three months, I will show you the way off of Struggle Mountain and into the Valley of Success where you will start thriving. It's time to get you booked.
Learn from my mistakes, I'm holding nothing back

Take me there
Below you'll find a selection of the things we're going to cover, although the total scope of BRAVE is impossible to put onto a website as it's so extensive.
Every two weeks, we'll be going through your personal action plan during our 1:1 strategy calls on Zoom. That way, we break all information up into various easy-to-process 'main themes' with attached things to do. All tailored to your needs.
So, what will we be doing?
Being able to work all around the world is a special thing, but it hasn't always been like this. Not at all. I have spent so much time learning, falling flat on my face, procrastinating, losing a lot of money and even wondering if this carreer was for me in the first place.
That's OK. Everybody's been there, but there's a way up and over! After quite a few years of figuring out the elopement industry, I’m all set and ready to guide you on your way to becoming an international elopement photographer too. I can't wait to show you the roadmap off Struggle Mountain! I've made it my mission to help you save time and money by not having to make all the mistakes I had to make before I ended up where I am today.

I get you, I’ve been there too. But, think of it this way: what is it going to cost you, if you don’t enroll? How many expensive mistakes and wasted time will that have you end up with? And also… think of your return on investment: how many elopements do you have to book to make this back? … Exactly!
