Learn How to Book More High-End Weddings While Still Being Authentically You
You’re getting a lot of things right:
◆ You’re posting consistently on social media about your offers.
◆ Your couples rave about their photos after they receive them from you.
◆ And you’ve honed in on your specific editing style.
But…you still find yourself tweaking your packages and lowering your rates in order to book clients.
Booking high-end weddings takes a whole lot more than raising your prices & expecting inquiries to flood in.
There has got to be a better way!
Receive inconsistent inquiries & the ones you do get say you’re out of budget
Jump around trying to find a marketing strategy that will finally “stick”
Struggle to cope with seasonal fluctuations & irregular income
Find yourself blending in with other photographers in your area
Feel pressured to keep up with the ever-evolving wedding trends and styles
Maybe right now you…
This is exactly what you’ll learn how to do at The High-End Wedding Summit!
✓ Know exactly how to reach high-end dreamy clients with marketing strategies that actually pay off
✓ Generate consistent inquiries from couples who are already a “hell yes” by the time they hop on a call with you
✓ Make waves while being positioned as a stand-out high-end photographer in your area
How would it feel to…
You dream of finding a way to book clients that are high-paying & value you as an artist.
Join us for The High-End Wedding Summit to learn from 29 experts about how to position yourself to attract clients you’ve only dreamed of through mindset, copywriting, design, marketing, and more.
During The High-End Wedding Summit, you’ll learn how to break into the luxury wedding market and be the sought-after photographer in your area while being authentic.
Hey, we're KP and Jessie, the duo behind Inkpot Creative®, a queer-led brand & website design studio building unconventional, impactful brand and website experiences for photographers who are leading their industry by creating something different.
Over the course of the past few years working 1:1 with wedding photographers, we started to notice a trend. Each and every one said that their main goal with their rebrand was to attract more high-end clients.
The High-End Wedding Summit was born out of the need we noticed that our clients had. We KNOW you're a stand-out photographer. We reached out to 25+ of the best wedding industry experts to help you finally book more luxury weddings to build the wedding photography business of your dreams.

It’s your time to experience what booking high-end weddings can do for your business.
Got questions? We’ve got answers!
If you’re curious about booking more high-end weddings, this event is for you! We’ll be specifically talking to wedding photographers and focusing on strategies to break into the luxury wedding market, but anyone else who wants to get started with booking more luxury weddings (like videographers, wedding planners, and other wedding professionals) is welcome to join us.
The main portion of the summit runs from September 30 to October 4, 2024. You’ll also be able to join our private Facebook community as soon as you register, so you can join in on the fun right away!
While most of the presentations for the summit are pre-recorded, there are some live elements, and the pre-recorded presentations are only available for 24 hours with your free ticket. So we encourage you to attend live if you can! We would love for you to set aside some time during the summit week to attend the live sessions, watch the pre-recorded presentations, and participate with others who are working towards booking more high-end weddings.
However, if you’re not able to attend all of the sessions live, go ahead and grab your free ticket, and you’ll have the opportunity to upgrade to the All-Access Pass for extended presentation access.
Your free ticket includes 24 hour access to each of the presentations. If you need more time, you can always upgrade your ticket to the All-Access Pass after registering, which will give you extended access to the presentations along with premium bonuses from our speakers and more!
To avoid tech glitches, give you the best possible experience, and keep things easy for the speakers, the presentations are pre-recorded and will be released at a scheduled time during the summit. However, the speakers will be hanging out in our private Facebook group with dedicated threads where you can connect with them and ask your questions! There will also be opportunities to join us for bonus live events throughout the week.
No. When you register, you’ll be added to the Inkpot Creative® email list so we can send you updates for the event and links to each day’s presentations. After the summit is over, you’ll continue to hear from us, but you can unsubscribe at any time.
Each of the speakers will have free resources available that you can access by providing an email address, but the speakers will not get your email address unless you choose to give it to them specifically. That way, you only hear from the people you really love and don’t have to worry about getting added to email lists that you’re not interested in.
You can learn more in our Privacy Policy.
Yes. All presentations have closed captions and transcripts with the free pass. Please reach out if there’s anything we can do to ensure you’re able to enjoy this event.
The panels are a live call about a specific topic with a group of our speakers. As an All-Access Pass holder, you’ll not only have access to the live call and replay, but you’ll also be able to submit questions in advance to have answered on the call.
In these 60-minute sessions, we'll hop on Zoom (you can choose to have your video on or off) and get some work done!
We'll start by sharing what we hope to accomplish, dive into work, and give updates on how we did at the end.
This is a great chance to start seeing results instantly from this event. I'll be in the chat to answer any questions you come across and to give feedback!
Here's the schedule:
- September 1, 1-2 p.m. PST
- September 3, 1-2 p.m. PST
In this 60-minute session, we'll join a call and be sorted into smaller rooms where we can chat with each other, make connections, and have some fun!
Rooms will switch at least once throughout the hour to make sure you get to meet a good mix of people. Conversation prompts will be provided.
Here's the schedule:
- September 2, 1-2 p.m. PST
If you still have questions, we encourage you to go ahead and sign up. Your questions will likely be answered during the event or in the Facebook community, which you’ll be able to join right away after grabbing your free ticket.
However, if you need to ask us a question before registering, feel free to send us an email at hello@inkpotcreative.com.
