Styled Photoshoots

Styled Funeral Photoshoot and Mini Marketing Masterclass
What's included?

We all know that one of the biggest problems we have when starting out as funeral celebrants is getting decent photos of us in action. Unlike weddings, at funerals it’s tricky to ask even the most open of families if you can whip out your phone for some quick pics, let alone making sure they’re comfortable with you sharing on social media.

The answer is to organise a styled shoot – but who wants the expense and organisational headache of hiring a photographer, sourcing a venue, buying/borrowing/hiring a coffin. Let alone the storage and transportation issues all that involves. And, can you round up enough pals to make it look authentically like you’ve actually got some mourners at this funeral. So, let us free you from the grind whilst making sure you have a set of top-notch snaps for your website, social media, email campaigns, cards and fliers!

We simply cannot stress enough how useful a set of funeral photos is for any funeral celebrant business. It helps your clients picture what could be and shows evidence of what you do. Priceless!

Mini Marketing Masterclass

The day will now include a mini marketing masterclass session- where Kate and Kate will walk you through how to make the best use of your photos once you’ve got them.

What Participants Have Said ...

"What a fabulous day! Lovely to meet you all 'in the flesh' (!) and can't wait to see the images. Thank you Georgina for your patience and for your hard work all day - hopefully we weren't too 'demanding divas'? Thanks also to Kate and Kate for arranging the shoot - I think we will all benefit from the time and investment we made in our businesses. Viva la funeral revolution!"

Kay

"What an amazing day yesterday. So good to finally meet Kate and Kate, as well as Anita, Kay, Judith and Georgina. Massive thanks for the opportunity, patience and audacious professionalism displayed by all. Bronwen was exhausted and slept all evening - almost missing her dinner! I can't wait to get the piccies and working on my website to get myself out there."

Alison & Bronwen

"Thank-you to everyone for a wonderful day yesterday, such a warm and positive experience, I loved it! Georgie, I really appreciate how comfortable you made me feel in front of the camera. Kate & Kate, thank-you for organising such a great photo shoot, I’m sure it takes a lot of planning and hard work to pull it together but you made it seem effortless. Such a lovely atmosphere. Take care everyone and thanks for all the tips."

Janet

"I just wanted to add my thanks for Kate and Kate for a lovely day on Tuesday, and of course to the Georgie for all her hard work. Like others, I was so reassured by her calming presence that what I had been dreading was actually a very easy and relaxed experience. Thank you very much for that. It was also particularly lovely to meet you all IRL - I smiled all the way home to Scotland! "

Sarah

"Photoshoot photographs dropped in at the weekend - and they are absolutely brilliant. As someone who dislikes having her photograph taken, our photographer, Georgina Piper, was amazing. Calm and professional, and before too long we were so much more relaxed and ready to take direction from her. Well worth every penny of the investment in our businesses and even the journey down to the south coast from The Midlands. If you hesitated last time, and you get the opportunity again, Just Do It! I now have a huge personal photo library of professional images to add to my website and socials. No more searching for ‘stock’ images'."

Kay Poole

"Thank you all so, so much for a fabulous experience - not just the magnificent chance to own lovely photos for our socials (that's so hard to do as funeral celebrants!) but also the chance to get to know other celebrants and simply enjoy the company of people who get why we do the job we do."

Maria Williams

"It was overall terrific. But my highlight was hearing the stories from other celebrants about how they came to be in this world..then their funny or celeb stories.. utterly priceless and so valuable networking which felt authentic (networking events aren't always - I've been to one where people were really rude about other celebrants - but you guys set the excellent tone. Fun but professional, supportive and respectful) ..so what an awesome bunch. Coffin Club and Georgie, photographer, were all amazing - thank you so much for all your hard work & general loveliness."

Emma Chaplin

"It was a great day and so pleased the weather was good - although that is out of everyone's control. We all had a purpose and the same vision and we all helped each other - just what celebrants should do."

Lesley

"Communication was great leading up to and on the day. Georgie was amazing and sooooo professional. She picked up on nerves and put us at ease that you forgot she was there snapping away!! Can't wait to see the finished shots and have some amazing content for website/ social media. Kate and Kate - Amazing both of them. Extremely supportive, funny and honest. Everything ran to time and it was so relaxed and i think everyone got their fair share. The best bit of the day for me was meeting Kate and Kate and all the other Celebrants, most of who i followed on instagram already!! It was great to chat and hear stories, highs and lows etc. It's made me even more certain that this is what i want to do. I thought the whole day was well planned and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you to everyone involved."
