A helping hand

Meet Lisa

Hi, I'm Lisa Devlin. I've been a wedding photographer since 2000, when I transitioned from being a music industry photographer into weddings. It's been quite some time since I launched my own wedding photography business, but since starting Photography Farm back in 2011 I've also helped thousands of other photographers break into weddings through our education and mentoring. And now I'm going to help you become one of the next generation of wedding photographers by giving you the information you need to start your own thriving business.
