Booray Perry
It’s hard to be a good wedding photographer. The toughest part is figuring out what you should learn and when you should learn it. It seems like every day there’s something new.
If there’s one thing that Booray Perry has learned, it’s how to make mistakes. He’s made plenty. Now he shoots 80 weddings a year and works with new photographers all the time, watching them make the same mistakes that he made again and again. He wants to help you come up with a game plan, a list of things you should be paying attention to right now so that you can become a better photographer today and a more successful photographer tomorrow.
Topics include
Where we are now and where we are going. What changes you can expect in the next 10 years.
The most common mistakes that wedding photographers make and how to avoid them.
How to prepare yourself to shoot every aspect of the wedding day with confidence.
The 8 things that you should be using to get better, more marketable images.

In last year’s presentation to PPSCF, ‘Prosperity & Purpose- The Photography Business Through A Different Lens’, Jeffrey Shaw gave an overview on how to look at our photography businesses from a different point of view and how to re-frame old messages of how to do business. He explained the difference between traditional business methods which no longer work and a forward thinking service based business model.
This year, Jeff will focuses on the powerful and simple concept of “Working ON your business more than IN your business.” He will specifically review the benefits of establishing procedures and systems that run our businesses rather than getting caught up in the many day to day, time consuming tasks that are available for us photographers. There’s only one way to ‘level up’ our businesses. We have to get off the treadmill of doing tasks that can be systematized or contracted out in order to make time and space to work on the things that will bring in more clients, take better care of the clients we have and support our businesses to run smoother.
Here are some of the topics that will be covered:
- Five common characteristics of successful businesses. Yes, working ON your business is one of them.
- You’re never too small to think big. Creating Systems that run your business efficiently.
- Touch Points as a system for exceptional client service.
- Get more new clients and how to predictably enroll them.
And much more!

Bio
Jeffrey is an on-location family portrait photographer, business coach and speaker that travels nationwide meeting his clients and working with fellow photographers. He is based in Manhattan. His portraits have appeared on The Oprah Show, in “O” magazine, People Magazine, CBS news, and most recently the cover of New York Family Magazine.
Never one to follow a well-worn path, Jeff has built a meaningful life on instinct rather than rules and vision instead of circumstances.
During the height of Jeff’s career he hired a business coach to help him manage the many issues that come with a fast growing business – the rewards and the struggles. It was a period of deep soul searching and business expansion. It seemed like a make or break moment. Through this work there were many aha moments and one stood out – why he became photographer. His purpose.
Jeffrey is the youngest of three boys and during his youth there is only one known photograph capturing his entire childhood; literally no history that offers a photographic memory of time or place. This is the power of portrait photography. So half way through his career and with this new realization he would cement his purpose – to make sure that his clients were as responsible as they could be documenting their family’s treasured moments.
This aspiration profoundly increased his commitment to his clients and resulted in stronger relationships, a business that directly supported his life’s purpose and an uncommon level of success.
Jeff’s personal experience with coaching over a decade ago and how it changed his life lead him to become a trained business life coach specifically for fellow photographers. He has committed to providing educational forums for photographers who want to improve their businesses and desire personal growth.
