The story

From no childhood photosto a thousand-wedding archive.

I grew up with almost no photographs of my own childhood. The few that exist are blurry, wrongly exposed, half-cut. My parents loved us — they just didn't have a photographer. I noticed the gap by the time I was in my twenties.

The first camera I bought was a mistake — wrong lens, wrong everything. I shot anyway. I shot friends, weddings nobody else wanted, churches that didn't pay. For the first three years I was mostly bad at it. Then I got slightly better. Then enough people noticed for it to become a job.

Fourteen years later I've shot over fourteen hundred weddings. Across more than twenty countries. The work has been featured in The New York Times and The Guardian UK. I've built JOPStudios into five business units — JOPStudios, JOPFilms, Behind the Aisle, The Details Company, Euphoria Creative Agency.

None of that came from a course.

It came from being in rooms with people who were further along, asking dumb questions, and getting honest answers. Some of the most useful answers cost me nothing. Others cost me five years of figuring it out alone.

CS Masterclass is the room I wish I'd been let into in year two. The compositions, the pricing, the edit, the AI pipeline — taught directly, taught in person, in a small group, by someone who's still doing the work.

If that's what you're looking for, I hope you'll take a seat.
