The Marketing Intensive Workshop for Wedding Photographers - Recap

March 17, 2020 Jaine Kershner

Hosting my very own first in-person workshop was literally a dream come true! I spent months putting this three-day Marketing Intensive for Wedding Photographers together and so happy how it all turned out! I wanted to share with you a brief overview of each day and give a big thank you to all my wonderful attendees. Let’s jump right into it!

Each morning students were welcomed to a light breakfast, coffee, and of course, tea! We chatted before each session began which was wonderful for students who did not know each other prior. Each Marketing Intensive was broken down into 45-minute segments with Tea Breaks in between sections. I wanted to make sure the information was easy to process and everyone was able to stretch and take a break before we dove into the next section. Sometimes workshops can give you “all the information” in lump sum’s of time and I wanted to make sure each session was easy to process and answer any questions that came up. Students really appreciated this feedback and it was very well received.

The Marketing Intensive for Wedding Photographers - Instagram
Day One

On the very first day of our workshop, we concentrated on Instagram and how wedding photographers should be using this platform for their wedding photography businesses. I shared how I easily and consistently create content, how I create captions easily, and how I interact with my audience using Instagram Stories. Instagram is one of my most favorite topics to teach and I was so happy to help each attendee and answer their specific questions or concerns about Instagram.

What would be a workshop without a little swag, right? I sourced a few of my favorite items for my students to take home with them. Each attendee received a Sweet Water Decor “You Got This” hot and cold to-go mug in pink (of, course!), a pack of my favorite chocolate-covered snacks from Fatty Sunday’s (a Brooklyn based company), a new Monogrammed Notebook and pen to take their notes.

I also want to thank Instaproofs, my online image hosting company, for providing my attendees with a special discount code to enjoy two months off their yearly subscription. Thank you, Adam and everyone over at Instaproofs!

The Marketing Intensive for Wedding Photographers - Pinterest
Day Two

The second day of our Marketing Intensive we concentrated on how wedding photographers should be using Pinterest for their business vs. using it for personal use. I went over how I use the platform and how it’s changed over the last two years and I know receive up to 170K views a month! I did a live demo of Tailwind and how to use this incredible application and incorporate it into your business workflows.

The Marketing Intensive for Wedding Photographers - Submissions
Day Three

Our last and final day, was all about How to Create a successful and strong wedding submission to get your work featured online or in print. I gave students class assignments and we answered all their questions during each section. We ended by going over each students wedding submissions and helping them create faster workflows for getting each submission into the inbox of editors faster.

I want to give a huge shout out and THANK YOU to each and every one of my attendee’s! Thank you so much for believing and trusting me to help you in your wedding photography businesses! I appreciate each and every one of you and cannot wait to see how you are doing in your own personal journey. Each attendee received a 30-minute complimentary online progress call with me as part of their workshop. I think it’s so important to help keep attendee’s accountable and on the right track!

How to Travel Light with Your Photography Gear

February 20, 2020 Jaine Kershner

I’m so excited that our Instagram IGTV series is officially back! Today I’m sharing all about my favorite travel items that I use to travel as lightly as possible with my photography gear. I NEVER want to check my bag (especially with my lenses!!) because they will surely be destroyed in transit, so I’m always looking for the best and lightest way to travel for a destination wedding or for personal travel.

I’m heading to California in a few weeks to speak at The Hybrid Co. so I thought it would be a great time to share some of my favorite photography gear that helps me travel as light as possible! Be sure to check out my full-length IGTV video for a more in-depth review of each of these items. I hope they are helpful for you too!

How to Travel Light with Your Photography Gear

Kamertte Lyra Camera Backpack Bag - If you know me at all, you know that I absolutely HATE backpacks. I swore I would never wear one but then both shoulders started to ack from carrying my gear on either side of my body. So I did my research and found the cutest, most stylish, and functional camera bag/backpack I could find. Kamertte was it! I’ve placed the removable velcro dividers in such a way that I can carry a DSLR, two lenses, Contax 645 with two lenses, two inserts, film, and batteries plus more! It does get heavy when it’s fully loaded but it’s great on my back - no more pain! Oh, and I get TONS of compliments on this bag each and every time I wear it!

Peak Design Travel Tripod - I pre-ordered this incredibly lightweight and beyond anything I’ve ever seen travel tripod from Peak Design in the beginning of 2019. It took almost 8 months for it to be delivered and I can tell you it was worth the wait and every single penny I spent!! My new travel tripod is 3.4 lbs which is a dream come true! It can hold up to 20lbs total weight, you can add a weight bag, they have a built-in option for your mobile phone to take photos with this travel tripod. I would highly recommend this tripod and make sure to read all the specifications on their site!

Ruggard Leda Memory Card Case - for Compact Flash - for Micro SD - I always want to ensure that my memory cards are safe, secure, and on my person at all times. I am loving these hard, water-resistant hard cases from Ruggard that are perfect for my needs.

Ruggard Padded Equipment Wrap - 11x11 Black Wrap - 15x15 Black Wrap - 19x19 Black Wrap - sometimes you don’t want to travel with your full gear kit when you are on the road, so I love using these padded equipment wraps to wrap my camera body, lenses, or flash when I’m on the go. It’s just another layer of padded protection to help keep my camera equipment safe inside of my personal tote or camera bag.

Create Custom USB Drives for Your Wedding Photography - USB Memory Direct

January 29, 2020 Jaine Kershner

I’m so excited to partner with USB Memory Direct to tell you all about their custom USB Drives for your wedding photography business. They are a wholesale custom printed USB drive retailer and they reached out to me to test out their custom drives. It was perfect timing because I had just rebranded to Jainé Kershner Photography and I was excited to print my new logo and create some new branded items for my new brand.

I was able to choose any style and type of custom USB drive that I wanted and when I started to browse their website, I was surprised to see how many choices they offer and how much data they hold. Ultimately, I was torn between two square drives but as soon as I saw the Round Card Flip, I knew it was the perfect choice for my brand. It also is an 8GB drive which can hold an entire wedding gallery for my couples.

I have to say that I’m obsessed with the print quality from USB Memory Direct and my new logo looks so crisp and sharp on my new USB Drives. I love the round card flip which is perfect for my new company seal and I can’t get over how thin they are and that they can hold 8GB of data. It kinda seems impossible but it’s true!

I’ve been using my drives for several week now and I’m very impressed with them. I can easily add my photos and documents through my computers USB ports and I haven’t had any transfer issues. I do send my images via an online gallery, but every so often I get asked to send a drive and now I have them ready to go, fully branded, and I can’t wait for my next request!

One of the best parts about partnering with a brand I enjoy working with is that sometimes they will offer my community a discount code to try out their services and I’m delighted to say that USB Memory Direct has graciously offered the Tea with Jainé community a discount for your very first order.

You can use the code PHOTO10 to save 10% OFF your first order with USB Memory Direct

Thank you USB Memory Direct for the incredible new custom printed USB Drives.
