In this solo episode of the Align with Alora podcast, host Alora Rachelle announces the launch of the Wedding CEO Group Coaching Program, a four‑month hybrid coaching and course experience designed specifically for wedding photographers. She explains why a group program offers more accountability and results than one‑off coaching calls, outlines the intimate cohort size (about five participants, with two spots remaining), and details the curriculum: Month 1 – mindset and alignment; Month 2 – branding and marketing; Month 3 – client experience from sales call through off‑boarding and testimonials; Month 4 – systems, scaling, and multiple income streams. Alora describes the program’s structure (twice‑monthly one‑on‑one calls, lifetime course access, homework reviews, surprise guest sessions, welcome and milestone gifts) and pricing options, including a newly added 12‑month payment plan to reduce financial barriers. She defines the ideal candidate as a photographer with 1–2 years experience and 5–10 solo‑shot weddings, and invites listeners to apply via the website, Instagram DM, or voice message. Throughout, she emphasizes a philosophy of working smarter, not harder, using systems and boundaries to build a profitable business without hustle, and encourages immediate enrollment before the price increases in future launches.

Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode on the Align with Alora podcast. I'm your host Alora, and today I am going to be making the biggest announcement I've ever had to make: the launch of the Wedding CEO Group Coaching Program. Now you've probably seen the links in the show notes and you probably wondered what in the world is this. No worries, I am here on this episode to tell you all about it. So Let's get started. You are listening to the Align with Alora podcast. They say business owners ditch the 9 to 5 only to work 80 hours just for themselves. I wanna change that narrative. I believe that we can still be successful by working smarter, not harder, and still achieve beyond our wildest dreams. This podcast is all about systems, boundaries, and growing a profitable business without the hustle and the overwhelm. Because guess what? You really can have both. So get comfortable and let's dive in. Okay, so for years I have been doing mentorships, and I've mentioned it a bit in past episodes, maybe on my Instagram stories if you saw the recent launch. But however, for some reason I felt like there was something missing. Like, okay, we would do a 1 to 2 hour one-on-one coaching call And you'd be given resources, but there was like no follow-up and me just crossing my fingers and hoping that your business did well with or without me. And of course everyone gets busy and I would always keep an eye on my coaching clients afterwards to see how they were doing, if they were successful in their endeavors. But when you have a coaching program, I'm able to do so much more than I could ever have done on just a one-on-one coaching call. Now, if you've never had an interaction with a coach before or a mentor, then like the call is the first place to start. And I will be offering those soon enough once I get everything established with the coaching program for wedding photographers in general. But for now, I wanna say that it's just, it makes me feel more fulfilled that I know my clients are gonna have results because they're gonna have access to me freely. Like they're going to have one-on-one coaching calls with me twice a month. They are going to be walking through this curriculum program. It's like a hybrid of everything. Like, if you want to coach and you want to follow along with a course, and you also have lifetime access to that course and all of my courses that go hand in hand together, as well as getting my eyes on your homework, checking in with you, making sure that you're reaching your goals, and just, I don't know, dreaming your biggest wild dreams. But no dream is too wild because I will be guiding you for 4 months straight. Now I'm pretty sure I'm going to be extending this next time I launch it, and the price is going to go substantially higher. But if you want to get an experience with me for 4 months with access to this amazing program, I highly suggest you hop on it and hop on it now. So the spots are actually already halfway filled, and I wanted to keep it very small. I was thinking kind of more like 5 people. That way I can make sure that they are getting So much time with me and it's very intimate and it's easy for everyone to kind of give to the table, ask their questions and feel like they have enough time with me, especially on the calls. Um, and then of course they will be just taken care of so well intimately. Um, so I would definitely say I'll have 2 more spots open. If you could just hit that button, apply for a call, apply to voice message me on Instagram, I'm okay with either. And we can chat and see if you are a great fit for this program. We recently launched a 12-month payment plan because I don't want finances to be the reason you don't sign up. I just remember when I was starting out and I wished that there was a payment plan option. Back then it was like pay in full, very high ticket, or nothing, right? And when you're starting out in your business, you know, as much as you love combing through all the free opt-ins and send all the outdated digital photography blogs and all anything you can get your hands on, I know that my business has grown exponentially because I was able to invest in myself and apply everything that I learned quickly, especially while I was still learning and booking weddings. So I definitely would say this is a great fit for you if you have been shooting full-time, part-time, at least a year or 2. If you've shot at least 5 to 10 weddings on your own, not just second shooting, and you kind of have an idea of the way that weddings work and you have enough experience under your belt where any of the terms that I mentioned about the industry won't just completely Baffle you or feel overwhelming. So those are definitely some things to take into consideration. I'm just really excited about this program. I have been dreaming about it for far too long, but I wanted to make sure that it was as perfect as I could get it without being perfectly perfect, if that makes any sense. So if you have any questions, once again, feel free to apply for a call risk-free. There's nothing to lose. You can always apply. You could always reapply the next time we launch it, but do keep in mind that it will be much higher ticket price. I'm really excited because each month we are going to have surprise guests on each topic as well. And there are going to be lots of bonuses. I'm working with a designer on your guys' welcome gifts. And let me tell you, it is going to be phenomenal. Like, I've been a part of a lot of programs and I've been given like little thank you gifts, maybe a notebook here and there, but like, I don't know. I'm going to have to say I have bragging rights over this. And you'll probably see when the students post like, oh my gosh, look at this gift. Also, we'll be having milestone gifts as well. When we go through, um, the coaching entirely and you book a certain amount of clients, maybe your 6-figure year, all these things that happen, if you just let me know, we will have a welcome gift sent out to you to help congratulate because we want to cheer you on and just be excited for your success as well as everything else you're going to do in the future. Like I said, this coaching program is my baby. I am prepping for it. I am so excited about it. It's all I think about every single day. I'm always brainstorming on new ways that I can make it better. And so I would love to have you. If you would like to apply, visit the website and make sure it's something that you're interested in. But like I said, if you have any questions, you can just DM me on Instagram. I love voice messaging. I'm always multitasking and voice messaging seems to be faster. But if you just want to hop on a call, I can walk you through everything and give you everything in full detail. But I can kind of just summarize it right now. So month 1 will be about mindset and alignment. Month 2 will be about branding and marketing. Month 3 will be all about client experience from beginning to end. I'm talking about sales call all the way into the offboarding and asking for testimonials. Every single thing will be strategic and sales psychology backed. I'm just more excited about watching your guys' prices go up because you will actually have all the knowledge to prove your value and worth to be able to charge that and maybe even some more. The last month will be about systems and scaling. So let's just say that you take off and you are just ready to make 6 figures and beyond, right? You're already there. This is the perfect month for you. We're going to talk about ways that you can have multiple streams of income. Now you can be an educator if you want to. If you don't want to, there's other things that you can add and we can brainstorm those things together on the calls, but just knowing the possibility of what's out there versus running yourself ragged. If you don't only see yourself being a wedding photographer, maybe you want to take on other things and we can work on the systems, the process, the pricing, and the package breakdown, even the branding of that. That is something that I love doing. If you haven't noticed is branding every single thing in my business. So these are just some things to think about if you're really thinking about it and you're like, oh, I just— I'm not so sure. Remember, there's also a 12-month payment plan, and you can always just apply for a phone call or just voice message me on Instagram, and we will answer all of your questions there. So I hope to see you there. I would love to have you there nonetheless. I would love to have you guys in this amazing Wedding CEO program. It's time to put on your bad emoji blazer and let's get CEO official. Well, you made it to the end of today's episode.
