Why this course exists
“Almost every florist I’ve worked with has told me the same thing: my arrangements never look as good in photos as they do in real life.”
After ten years of photographing weddings, I’ve worked alongside hundreds of florists whose talent deserves better than a flat phone snapshot. This course is what I’d teach a friend over coffee. Short, practical lessons you can apply that same afternoon.
