Creative Wedding Photography Education, Workshops & Mentorship
“More than just a workshop. It was like a photo/life reset button."
-Keith / Tamp Workshop
“If you are considering one of Jeff’s workshops- sign up!! You will be ecstatic you did! The only “con” was that it ended. I could have hung out & learned from him for weeks.”
-Monica & Sam / Tampa Workshop
Think Differently. See Differently. Learn Differently.
Jeff's workshop is an intimate (12 participant) master class in off-camera flash techniques and his distinctive photographic style. It includes instruction in creating his signature shots including the famous ‘champagne’ shot. However, it is so much more than mere technical instruction. This workshop is also about mindset and learning to think differently.
Jeff shows you how to grow your passion for your craft and nurture strong client relationships rooted in deep connection so you can shoot with intention. He doesn't believe in formulaic check lists on the wedding day but instead favors getting to know your couples and their unique personalities.
He shares his methods and mindset for capturing (magazine worthy) epic portraits as well as emotional moments that are full of energy.
The workshop also provides ample opportunities for hands-on shooting, time for practicing his signature shots and plenty of time for questions.
*No styled shoots. No alpacas.

About Jeff Tisman | Award-Winning Wedding Photographer
I’ve been doing this for 27+ years and documented more than 1200 weddings. I’ve seen a thing or two and I’d love to help teach you to think, see, and be different as a photographer.
Suppose you're ready to create something different, something beyond just pretty pictures, photographs that are a genuine reflection of your clients personality in emotion-filled candids, alongside epic and magazine-worthy portraits. In that case, this is the workshop for you.
After 27+ years of photographing over a thousand weddings, I am still so passionate about what creating with my couples.
Simply put the only way I make that happen is through education! I love going to different workshops and have been doing so for years: learning, growing and meeting other photographers.
This is the KEY to avoiding burnout or just flat-out boring images.
Through education I continue to push myself to learn, evolve, and never become complacent or ever think ‘Hey I’m good enough, I don’t need to work at this anymore.’ Weddings don’t have to be a formula. Approach each one with an open mind and you’ll love what you do even more.
And that’s where you come in:
The goal of this creative workshop, is for photographers like you to continue loving this incredibly rewarding and fulfilling profession.
-Jeff

“I knew it was going to be great... I just had no idea it was going to be EPIC.
Think Differently…… That is Jeff Tisman’s motto….. I wanted to let you all know how awesome it was to be part of his inaugural solo workshop that took place in Redbank, NJ. It was outstanding!!! Over the 48 hours there were surprises, along with lots of laughter.
The bottom line is that you’d be “F’n Crazy” not to take his workshop.”
— Scott T. / Redbank Workshop
“Next time you go to a shoot, ask yourself "what would Jeff be telling you to do here/in this situation"
...and go f'n crazy! ”

— Nelson / Redbank Workshop
