Mentorships

Creatives who are in any stage of their wedding photo and/or video business. Whether you’re just getting into the industry or are an established professional, we want to help you with your current business needs and walk alongside you in your next creative adventure.
-
Our mentorship packages start at $500. We offer several package options with opportunities to save on bundles.
-
We will focus on whatever you feel you need the most help with but some subjects that we can touch on are: generating leads, SEO, client meetings, small business bookkeeping tips, styled shoots, websites and branding, social media, shooting and more.
-
This is a good question! We all need inspiration and direction. In the creative world we get that from so many different things, but there is a difference between having a natural talent vs. being prepared for very specific scenarios, knowing the industry and being able to swap your creative hat with your business hat. We have years of shooting experience, professional education, experience teaching mentees and loads of experience working as a business in the industry. You'll either learn this stuff via trial and error or by working alongside a mentor!
-
Since we are working full time as photographers and filmmakers, we take on a limited number of mentor students in a year. We want to make sure that we're a good fit for you and your specific needs.

What our mentees are saying:
It was so refreshing to talk with and learn from Jonah & Rebekah. After being a 100% videography only husband & wife team for the last 8 years, we decided we wanted to dip our toe into offering photography as well to maximize what we can offer our couples. We didn’t know where to start, so we looked to The Augusts as we’ve watched them create incredible work together as a team offering both services. Our mentorship with them gave us the tools and the confidence we needed to try something new. They are down to earth, knowledgeable, and life-giving. I am so grateful for their willingness to pour into us and help us grow.

“I contacted The Augusts about a mentorship session and Rebekah really delivered! I was able to get all of my questions answered so thoroughly in the 1.5 hour session provided. Rebekah gave me a lot of value added advice that I personally believe will make such an impact to growing my business. As a new photographer, I went into this session feeling lost but I left feeling excited about the possible growth and buzzing with new ideas on how to attract clientele.”

"I scheduled a mentorship call with Jonah and Rebekah after listening to a podcast they were on. I loved hearing how another husband and wife team executes photo and video wedding days together. My husband and I just transitioned this year from video only to adding photos to our weddings. Jonah and Rebekah were great at helping answer any question and helped me build confidence when talking to couples. They were so helpful with providing different scenarios when answering my questions. A few days after our mentorship call, I had a consult call with a bride and felt more confident on that call when answering questions after having the call with the Augusts. 1000% recommend having them as mentors"
