TESTIMONIALS
Hi Bernie, 
I bumped into you at the PMA on Friday and told you how your course has made a huge impact to our studio and you asked for it in writing so here it is…...
‘Since attending Bernie’s portrait course in Newcastle last year, our average studio sale has more than tripled. We now complete $3000 and $4000 sales regularly. Bernie gave us the confidence and drive to introduce a complete new range of products, to view our studio as a retial store and realise that the system we had in place didn’t have the capacity to grow with our business.  Now we have customers swiping credit cards through with thousands of dollars worth of products yet leaving with a huge smile on their face, knowing they have invested into the history of those who aren’t even born yet. Attending the course has certainly changed the future of our business and was certainly the best investment we have made to date’.
Thanks again Bernie…

“Since Bernie took me under his wing!...so to speak… in Nov 2009, I have gone from no studio/ no bookings/no marketing, to a sophisticated studio with SYSYEMS, BOOKINGS AND sales starting from $500 from each sitting!! Just incredible when I thought about throwing the towel in last year and it was just too overwhelming, now it’s awesome.
I know I have a lot to learn, but already I feel I’m living my 5 year dream of running a successful Studio in the very competitive Sydney market…WITH A TODDLER in TOW!!!!...hhhmmm!
Thanks a million Bernie & Wendy! xoxoxoxo”

I recently completed the workshop, Getting Started in Wedding Photography, organised by the Australian School of Wedding and Portrait Photography and led by Bernie Griffiths. The course is broken up into 3 broad sections namely camera craft, taking wedding photos, and the business of wedding photography. Using this framework, and through Bernie’s expert insight, we were able to gain a much better appreciation for the importance of understanding your camera’s functions and capabilities; recognising the key shots that thoroughly document a wedding ceremony; and learn about the role of marketing and pricing in any wedding business. Overall I felt Bernie did a fabulous job in equipping us with all the elementary and necessary skills required to undertake a successful wedding assignment in a highly competitive market. His teaching method is mostly interactive and the workshop provides tonnes of inspiration to any aspiring wedding photographer who is thinking seriously about turning their photographic passion and vision into business reality. I thoroughly recommend the introductory wedding photography workshop with the ASWPP and Bernie Griffiths, and personally I cannot wait to undertake his other workshop – Posing and Lighting.

Thanks Bernie.
