One of favorite finds in the I do cam…  you provide the camera person  and "I Do Cam Products"  provides the editing and visual art of film making for a final version of your wedding video. I do Cam is owned and operated by Ashley Video Productions, which is the most reputable videography company in Los Angeles and Orange County.

Day 1 will be filled with in office training and education on how my business is run, along with a wedding rehearsal.

Day 2 will be filled with shadowing me while I lead my team, vendors and clients through their magical wedding day (from set up to break down). 

At the end of your mentorship you will receive a certificate of completion, a autographed signed copy of my book, Wedding Wisdom, and 2 hours career counseling time for follow up.  The reduced mentorship fee is $ 1500. (a $1500 savings)  Please note: travel fees are not included, but I will get you the lowest available room rates at these amazing resorts.

See what Janet had to say about her past mentorship with Mary:
