If your work is “good”… but it’s not luxury yet — this is your bridge. Lab 35mm is where you learn how to create magazine-worthy, cinematic wedding images using a simple, repeatable formula:
Lighting. Direction. Storytelling.
Not “buy more gear and hope.” Not “copy Pinterest and call it style.” You become the director.
And your portfolio starts booking the rooms you actually want to walk into.
“I want cinematic storytelling… but I can’t seem to recreate what I see in my head.”
“My galleries feel inconsistent. Like different photographers shot them.”
“My couples look stiff when I pose them… but if I don’t pose them, it’s chaos.”
“Flash overwhelms me, so I avoid it.” (Or slap it on TTL and cross your fingers.)
“I want my work to feel more high-end… I just don’t know how to get there.”
THIS IS FOR YOU IF YOU'VE EVER SAID…
enroll now
This self-paced course includes three easily-implementable modules that add up to a big change in the way that you view cinematic storytelling, timeless creation, and light & direction. When you are finished with Lab 35mm, you will be able to confidently offer clients the one-of-a-kind experience of moment-driven, fine art inspired photography.

“Whenever I needed inspiration, I would go on Pinterest and look at other photographers.
Alora taught me that you should be seeking inspiration from other mediums of art. My mind was blown! I can't even imagine where my business is going to go."

I have been playing around at my recent weddings with more editorial lighting & composition! I use to shoot very "safe", I guess you could say, this has been fueling my creativity!
I built my wedding photography business to become a cult-status brand, with a waiting list of five-figure clients coming to me specifically for my curated, cinematic photography style.
As your coach, I am going to teach you everything that I used to cultivate my fine art style and reputation for excellence in the wedding industry.

You aren’t ready for the next level as the photographer & creative director on the wedding day
It's probably *not* for you if...
You like a certain style of images and limit yourself to that style only
You like your business the way it is now and aren’t looking for honesty
You’re ready to understand how to create images that are effortlessly gorgeous & master any lighting scenario
You want to create a mixture of magazine meets the unposed imagery
You want a straight no-nonsense approach to photographing editorial weddings with ease
This *is* for you if:

There aren't any refunds on this course -as we only want the most committed people who are willing to do the work. If you’re willing to do the work, you’ll be able to earn back everything you invest up to five times what you paid for this program.
What is the refund policy?
Listen, I get it. All the bros of the photography world make things soooo complicated. I have condensed and simplified only the most important things you need (a flash to start) and eliminated everything you don't. Trust me, as an enneagram 3, we don't have time for fluff.
What if I can't understand all the tech & terms?
The three modules are completed on your own time and will be dripped module by module over the course of each week into the program (as to not overwhelm). And because you have a mobile app to the course, you can dive in whenever you need the education on the go.
Do I have enough time to commit to the course?
YES, YOU ARE READY! If you made it this far, then this is something you not only want to do but, NEED to do. Success is always on the other side of fear. Did you read this whole page up and down, and agree with 50% of it? Then this is for you. See you in the course!
