How will you make 2025 your best year ever?
Is this you?
you find yourself
- twisting and turning over the fact that you can't book your dream clients at your dream locations. But how can you when you can't show any images they can relate to?
- constantly commenting on people searching for photographers, along with 124 others, one bidding lower than the other
- feeling overwhelmed over all the different places to go, workshops to attend, choices to make.
- having insecurity about whether you will get return of investment, HOW will you know that this will be a good deal for you?
You are in the right place
Hello, my name is May
I am a professional photographer with a deep appreciation for human connections, traveling wherever life and work take me. I truly believe that beauty exists in everything - we just need to learn how to see it. I’m passionate about growth and inspiration and love witnessing others find their unique path.
Entering my 11th season as a wedding photographer, I’ve dedicated over a decade to capturing the magic and beauty of weddings. I’ve also had the privilege of hosting successful styled wedding workshops in Italy and France, where I share my expertise and love for the craft with others.
My work has been published in multiple wedding magazines, I was also honored to be awarded at the Way Up North conference, one of Europe’s most celebrated gatherings for wedding photographers.
THE ROAD FROM YOUR CURRENT place TO NEXT LEVEL
Imagine you've just come through a long winter, and you're tired of it. You're starting to feel the buzz of wedding season approaching, and you know you're READY, even though you were completely drained back in November. This year it's time to up your game and start fresh with inspiration, knowledge and determination to make this the best season ever!
where are you now, where are you going?
Give yourself the opportunity to grow, to evolve, and to challenge what you know. Only by pushing beyond our limits can we truly experience progress and create something extraordinary.
With every wedding I photograph and each new assignment, I go in with the ambition that it will be my best work yet. This is for my clients, of course, but also for myself. Without growth, we stand still. And standing still is no place to be. To create change, we must make changes - challenge ourselves! Dare a bit more, and always keep learning.

FAQ
can i come when as a videographer?
do i have to be a seasoned photographer?
Of course, we welcome both photographers and videographers. But May is not a videographer so you can not ask her for help with technical issues.
Absolutely not, you could be a newer photographer, but you need to be somewhat confident with your camera as it is not a course for basic settings. But you will of course get help if you are stuck.
do i need insurance?
how do i pay?
You are responsible for your own equipment and also travels, so it's recommended to have insurance for travels and goods.
You will receive an invoice, and you can choose to pay in full or split in 3 with due dates the 1st of dec 2024, feb and april 2025, or split in 5 with due dates the 1st of dec 2024, jan, feb, march and april 2025
