Additional Costs
Throughout your wedding photography course, great emphasis is placed upon giving each trainee the skills necessary to recoup course fees at the earliest opportunity. Several of our course trainees have achieved this well before the end of the course. Any processing and printing costs, though minimal, are an additional cost. We ask students to use our designated laboratories for processing, so that we may be assured of consistent, high-quality prints.
