25.01.2022 A little BTS action of last year's Nanga event via @keepercreative who lazily just snapped some epic shots with her iPhone somehow. This week we'll be sharing what the speakers are going to speak about (hint: pretty much everything that will help you with your wedding photography & couples) - in the meantime you should definitely grab tickets because they're cheap af for this kind of thing (deets in bio) @ Nanga Bush Camp
24.01.2022 TOMORROW (TUESDAY) AT 8PM WST. That's when we're shutting down tickets for the last Camp Common Folk! There's bulk info on the site and a bunch of videos from previous years to see what it's all about, a killer speaker lineup and awesome stuff going on. Tomorrow. 8pm WST. After that, they're gone, donezo. @jimmons / @stille_by_olivia
24.01.2022 We hit up @georgiaverrells about how she gets shots like this during first dances (cos we have to know!) and she said she always aims back at the guests to get them in the shot, hands her flash to someone in the front of the crowd, then just does her thing and hopes the couple do something amazing like this. Works for us! We're gonna try to feature more images from peeps with a bit of a 'How'd they do it' every week so... look out for that I guess
23.01.2022 Two weeks until our first event of 2020 - where well be smashing questions at photog extraordinaire @peggysaas (and @keepercreative & @flossyphoto). Plus if you come to one of our events, you get to hang with everyone after in our 300-peeps-and-growing ultra-cool* FB group for wedding photographers. (*not at all cool - but it is super helpful) Deets & tix in bio
23.01.2022 Are you kidding us with this amazingness @sarahtonkinphotography?!
23.01.2022 FEB EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT How do you deal with anxiety as a wedding photographer? Its easy if youre a bride: you can just drink, or get photos with animals (I guess we could *also* drink but maybe not on the way to the bridal prep..?). Anyway - Wednesday Feb 26 weve got @jillianmchughphoto talking about all things dealing with anxiety on the day (and making it your bitch), and @melissamillsphotographer talking about giving yourself the freedom to create whats really in your heart (especially when you feel like you arent currently expressing yourself to your full potential). Its gonna be a good one. Tickets & deets at http://commonfolk.com.au/feb26-real-talk
23.01.2022 Sometimes the best kind of support is just being frustrated at someone else not being great at flipping cups. Camp 19 is coming in October and we'll have more red cups. More other stuff too (like workshops and shoots and stuff) - but defs more cups. And yelling.
22.01.2022 SPEAKER INFO: Okay in all honesty Im planning on cramming every dumb thought I have about shooting a wedding day into my timeslot - so no way is that gonna fit in this tiny lil IG caption. Basically Im (oh yeah ps "Im" = 1/2 of @throughthewoodsweran) picking apart allllll the things that make up a day of shooting weddings (and getting your kind of peeps to book you) and throwing tips out there faster than you Australians seem to be stocking up on hand sanitiser at the mom...ent. Oh and a pretty big focus on how to make awkward couples less awkward when youre all up in their grill with your camera (without using Beloved-style prompt things cos that is defs not my jam). Full deets about our March 16 Nanga event on the site (link in bio) - basically though its me, @cjwilliams_photography & @parishawkenphoto speaking all things shooting-wedding-tips, and then bulk hands-on shooting and live demos with some glorious faces. Then dinner, drinks, and feel free to crash the night if you want. For $350. Thats stupidly cheap. I feel like its weird to say something is stupidly cheap but $350 is stupidly cheap - so get on it.

22.01.2022 Was thinking about writing a big long caption about the 2010's and how crazy it is that CF wasn't a thing at the start of it, and how much everyone has done... but fuck it - have an awesome new year all, stay safe, and bring on the real roaring '20's @danoday

21.01.2022 ONLY SEVEN TICKETS LEFT! GET ON IT! Meanwhile, scroll through for a little view of what our speakers have been creating lately - go scam on their IG feeds if you want to see more and/or just come to Camp Oct 13-17 to see what they're creating in real life. Also, @_tilldeath_, it wouldn't let us put a video in a carousel so instead we used the photo of you eating pasta. Sorry. Tickets and deets in bio! IT'S THE LAST FREAKING CAMP
20.01.2022 Know what's hard: just picking one of @tylerbrownphotography to share. So, here's a few. And you should know he's dropping a sh*tload of practical k-bombs at Camp Common Folk 2019 #didwementionitsthelastone Full Camp deets & tix over in the bio link - go see the full speaker lineup and what's in store this October!
20.01.2022 NEXT EVENT - JAN 21 Q&A PANEL WITH @flossyphoto, @keepercreative & @peggysaas 2020's here and that means so is the first CF event of the year! Kicking of at 5pm on the 21st we'll have those three amazing photographers (and equally as amazing people) answering your questions about all things wedding photography More deets, and tickets, in bio!
19.01.2022 Last chance for tickets to Tuesday night's 'Definitely not a Xmas Thing: EOY Hang Sesh' event in West Perth. Only prerequisites are you should have an interest in wedding photography / videography - and you definitely can't be cool. Cos none of us are cool and we don't want to feel uncool around cool people. The uncooler the better. That way we don't have to feel like dicks when we probably spill paella on ourselves. Deets and tickets in bio - closing off sales tomorrow morning!

19.01.2022 Can we all just appreciate how freaking awesome @jamessimmonsphotography & @stille_by_olivias ISOlyfe series is. Kind of makes us wish lockdown wouldnt end. Petition to just make them keep doing it every Friday regardless of lockdown status.

14.01.2022 ALL THE CONFETTI BECAUSE CAMP 2019 AKA CAMP 5.O IS ALSO THE MOTHER-LOVIN FINAL CAMP! Yup, this is the last of Camp Common Folk But also means it's gonna go out with a huge f**kin bang and be our best one yet (I mean, just look at that lineup*) Common Folk itself will be kicking strong in 2020 but this October will be the last of the Camp Common Folk's.

08.01.2022 Our last event was only in March but it feels approximately two years ago - but heres one of many epic images from @light.the.love.weddings.
