Build a stronger portfolio. Shoot real couples. Learn in the heart of London.
Starting From £295 | ONE DAY or £495 | TWO DAYS
Our London Portfolio Builder Workshop is designed for wedding photographers who want standout images, real confidence, and a portfolio that actually books weddings. Hosted by the Institute of Wedding Photographers, this hands-on photography workshop takes place over two action-packed days in London, with the option to book one day or both days.
This isn’t a classroom-based course. It’s a shoot-first, real-world portfolio builder created to help photographers at any stage elevate their work and shoot with purpose.
What is the Portfolio Builder Workshop?
The Portfolio Builder Workshop is a practical wedding photography experience where you’ll photograph real couples in carefully chosen London locations.

Whether you’re:

Images created here work perfectly for:
UK wedding websites
Destination wedding marketing
Editorial-style branding
