Frustrated with the lack of transparency in the wedding photography space?
It can feel impossible to break into this industry when all you see are untouchable photographers who aren't willing to share.
Have you ever...
Felt unsure or lacking confidence in your skills?
Been left out of referrals and conversations as a newcomer?
Had specific questions that no one will answer?
Wished there was a safe, welcoming space where you could actually learn and grow?

Hi! I'm Catherine – your luxury wedding photography mentor
You know you could be a successful photographer with the right guidance
Incredible clients are out there waiting for you, as is your ideal life. I’ve spent approximately 15 years building a luxury wedding photography business that provides my clients with a stellar experience, treasured memories, and timeless, elegant images. My business is bringing in a multiple-six-figure revenue and the free time I need to live an abundant life on my own terms.
When I'm lying in bed at night, reflecting on what inspires and motivates me, the answer is always the same: teaching other photographers exactly what they need to build the photography business of their dreams...executed while I'm enjoying mine, too.
Link arms with me and we'll follow my clearly outlined path and implement my proven strategies so you can step into your calling.
I know luxury wedding photography. And I'm passionate about sharing everything I've learned with other photographers who want to book high-value weddings and build a life they love.
We've scaled our business from our first $1k booking to a $10k minimum working with clients we TRULY love. Last year alone, our business made close to $500,000 dollars in revenue, all while balancing motherhood and renovating our home alongside my husband/business partner.
You can have a balance of work and personal life! And I'm honored to show you how.
Incredible photographers don't always make fabulous educators, but teaching others is my superpower. I've spoken and shared my extensive knowledge, strategies, and skills at the Hybrid Co, WPPI, and PPLA, and taught thousands of photographers through guest appearances on popular podcasts like Passion With Purpose, Bokeh Podcast and more.
If you're ready to do the work, I'm ready to show you the way.

"Catherine is so involved and cares about us personally!"
I struggle with feeling like I don’t know what I’m doing sometimes. I 10/10 recommend the society as it's been so helpful and encouraging and I love the interactions of the community.
Catherine is so involved (more so than other leaders I've experienced in other educational offerings)!
Since joining, I've built new relationships, found confidence in my work and booked weddings at my new, higher prices! I'm so thankful!

"The Society has exceeded my expectations by the guest speakers alone!"
I was looking for actionable advice because I never feel like I have enough work and struggle to fill my calendar. So often education is all business and we're left to our own devices to explore the art side of what we do.
I like that we are exploring the business AND the creative aspects inside of the society.

"Exactly what you expect from an educator in the luxury wedding space!"
I’ve found nearly everything in the Society to be helpful, insightful and applicable! The questions and real world insights that other members provide have helped me acclimate as a newcomer to the wedding world. I’ve deeply appreciated the community!
Cat is warm, welcoming, professional and very intentional about answering questions and responding to comments! Her content is always on time and well organized - there is never a feeling that she is playing “catch up” or doesn’t have a plan.
julie milnE (LOUISIANA)
"Catherine is genuinelly interested in the success of the members!"
The community we have is so supportive in answering questions I have. I have enjoyed learning from through the live calls and I am always surprised to learn from other people's questions, too!
As someone who is earlier on in her career, I have really enjoyed learning from others who are where I want to be. The guest speakers that Catherine has been able to bring us are honestly nothing short of amazing.
I have gained so much confidence and knowledge since joining. Through the society and Catherine's other courses, I went into my first year photographing weddings feeling very prepared!

A Membership for Photographers Who Want to
reframe their businesses and their lives
real answers, powerful community,
and a seasoned mentor to guide you
You love the idea of
becoming a thriving wedding photographer
But it feels like everyone who has made it is banded together in an exclusive society... and they're gate-keeping the secrets to their success.
You're searching everywhere for tips and strategies to help you...
let's be honest
Consistently book high-value, ideal clients
Get your money in order and make your financial situation less overwhelming
Provide a high-level experience and keep your clients happy
Get raving client reviews and lots of referrals from other vendors
Manage your time and efficiently accomplish your goals
Build a solid reputation and your network of industry professionals
I've done all of these things in my own wedding photography business, and unlike other experts in our space – I'm pulling back the curtain and teaching you exactly how to do this in your own business.
Your success doesn't threaten me... it inspires me.
Unlike many luxury wedding photographers who build $50k/month businesses, I'm an open book.
And I've built a community of like-minded, passionate wedding photographers who want to learn, grow, and truly be there for others.
Welcome to the inner circle –
we're not into hiding information, holding back effective strategies, or gatekeeping what works.
It's time to stop doing this alone.
I was struggling with not feeling good enough compared to others and feeling like I was falling behind. Investing in myself was the best decision I've made. Most of the time we invest in gear and programs, but forget to invest in ourselves, which is most important. The knowledge and sense of community I’ve gained in such a short amount of time is crazy. The society feels like family that’s always lifting each other up!

I was looking for a place to share growth and concerns with other photographers in a similar 'place' as me. I have been in other groups and those groups felt less helpful. It's been so nice having others to grow with, it makes you feel less alone in your small business.

Still not sure if the Society
is right for you?
i'm not sure i have time to participate in a membership
I know how busy life can be, and when you’re running a business on top of that, it seems like there isn’t a moment to spare.
This membership is designed to help you get more time back through solid strategies and systems.
Come as you are and participate as you're able.
I'm not sure i can afford to join
If you want to build a sustainable, successful luxury wedding photography business, this is the best low ticket education you will find. Less than a dinner out with friends and you're getting direction from a multi-six-figure luxury wedding photographer and a vast network of industry leaders and colleagues.
i'm not sure the resources + info will help me
I know what it takes to make it as a full-time wedding photographer, and every training, resource, and coaching call inside the membership is designed to help you succeed. I pour my best education and guidance into Society because this is the work I'm most passionate about!
I also consistently solicit feedback, so if there's anything specific you'd like to see offered inside, just ask!
Will I have 1:1 access to Cat?
Yes! You'll have access to Cat during the LIVE Q&A calls as well as throughout the month in the community for questions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if now isn't the best time for me? Can I sign up again?
Registration will only be open for a short period of time. Once it’s closed, it’s closed. However, you will have the opportunity to register when it opens again (date TBD).
What is your cancellation policy?
Unlike a course, members of WPS are granted access to content and community during the ACTIVE period of their subscription. Once a CANCELLATION goes into effect, the previously active member's access will be revoked.
WPS is designed in subscription format to make it more easily accessible and affordable for those who desire consistent content.
Every member has 30 days from the date of payment to access the content. Even if cancellation occurs in the middle of that pay period, the member still has access for the remainder of the 30 days.
If ownership and the ability to watch content for a lifetime is desired, we encourage those students to enroll in one of our courses.
Is the Wedding Photography Society only for Wedding Photographers?
While this advice can be applied to portrait photography, the membership will be primarily focused around wedding photography and the specifics of succeeding in this industry. You do not have to be full-time in weddings to join.
What if I still have questions?
You can contact us directly at catherine@catherineguidry.com and we'll help you in any way we can. You can expect a real response (often via email) talking you through the pros and cons of your specific situation.
Is this a course or a membership?
If you're looking for community and ongoing conversations with other wedding photographers and top level professionals, consider joining the Wedding Photography Society! It is a place to connect with others who share your same goals and struggles, and a platform for accessing high-level professionals who can help you better your business! Most of our course students also enroll in the society for continued and ongoing support!
Our business course Full Time Wedding Photography, however, is our signature wedding photography course aimed to get you to the luxury level of consistently booking $10k-$20k weddings and efficiently running your business.
That course is a blueprint to creating a strong foundation as a wedding photographer and has everything you need to set yourself up for a successful career as someone who's sought after and respected in the industry. Once you pay for it, it's yours. This is a $10,000 course that you can acquire for a one-time fee that's a fraction of the cost. All of the information inside is delivered to you at once, and you'll have access to it forever.
