TESTIMONIALS
What can I say about Crash Taylor’s workshop… ‘The art & business of digital Wedding photography’
Firstly I have to say that as someone with years of background in sales, and over 30 years too as a photographer (though only shooting Weddings for about 2) I was really hoping to learn very little, such that I could then rely on my current plans, thoughts and hopes as a way to advance my business with just the added tip from Crash – how wrong was I !!! Crash laid bare his entire method of not only how to approach a Wedding, but everything from his gear, how to shoot it through to how to process it and even how to present it to the happy couple. I was simply not expecting such honesty & openness from a ’stranger’ as it’s more akin to what you’d hope & expect from a good friend
Once the deepest secrets of Crashdom shooting was explained Crash turned to the detail (in minutiae) of how he landed in Nottingham only 4 years ago and immediately set about first entering then dominating his local marketplace; attaining a market position & income most Wedding photographers would love but can’t believe is possible for them, and because of that lack of belief – they are right. We explored leaflets, networking, Blogs, Facebook, paid advertising & Crash’s own box-of-tricks he hands to his potential clients; not from theory but from Crash’s own hands-on experience. Lastly we turned to how to sell one’s services to the couple, and yet again there were some interesting Crashy twists that are easy to see will work & work well for anyone applying them
Crash’s service level to his clients is based on ‘Exceeding Expectations’, and his workshop certainly exceeded mine by far more than I could have hoped. If you are thinking of attending anything Crash offers, and you should, then be prepared and take more notepaper than seems reasonable, you’ll need it as knowledge & inspiration flows fast and freely
I was already a Facebook Fan of Crash Taylor Photography, now I’m a Fan of Crash himself – thanks Crash

“As being a big fan of Crash and admiring his work, I decided to attend his workshop in March 2010.
I can say honestly that all my expectations were fulfilled. I was especially impressed by Crash’s passion, creativity,
sense of humour and ability to share all his secrets. I left home empowered and with priceless knowledge ready to apply.
Miraculously right after the workshop I got an enquiry for a wedding. I would highly recommend to attend Crash’s seminars
to anyone who wants to be more than just an average wedding photographer and move his or her business to the higher level.”
‘Crash Taylor is in love with photography. Inquisitive, searching, evolving,imaginative and never content with the average. Look at his pictures and his passion and enthusiasm are clear. Crash Taylor is a true photographer’
