OUR PHILOSOPHY
NON COMPETITIVE
but not anti awards

It was incredibly important to us to create an open, welcoming environment for all wedding photographers and filmmakers regardless of your experience level or style of work.

There are loads of more awards-focused communities who cater for the competitive souls within our industry.

But within FedWed there will be no awards or artistic competition here of any kind.

Ever.

NON JUDGEMENTAL
but not anti niche

The wedding photo and video industry has become such a diverse collection of styles and approaches. We always wanted to fully embrace that and not just represent one style bubble.

Whatever style you covet, you’ll be encouraged to pursue your art your way, with as much guidance and encouragement from us as you need.

Aspiring wedding photographers and filmmakers are especially welcome at FedWed and we will have events and products just for you.

OUR PROMISE
We're successful wedding photographers and wedding filmmakers, so we know how important it is to make sure you get the most of FedWed. We want to help you create a successful business so you can:
