Movement Training & Certification for Wedding Photographers
Zepeda Approved™ Photography
What is Zepeda Approved™ Photography?
Zepeda Approved™ Photography is a movement-focused training and certification program created exclusively for wedding photographers. As a professional wedding dance coach, I’ve spent years helping couples look confident, natural, and elegant during their first dance, and I’ve seen firsthand how posing and movement in photographs often fall apart without proper guidance.
This certification teaches photographers how to confidently direct couples through dips, lifts, posture, and romantic movement in a way that feels effortless, authentic, and visually stunning on camera, even for couples with no dance experience.
Zepeda Approved™ was created to elevate movement within wedding photography, empowering photographers to capture moments that feel refined, safe, and cinematic, images that tell a story through connection, flow, and intention.
What Photographers Will Learn
Photographers will gain practical tools they can use at every engagement session and wedding:
How to cue dips and lifts safely

How to fix stiff or “awkward” poses instantly
How to guide couples who “aren’t dancers”
Subtle dancer adjustments that elevate every pose
How to make movement look effortless and romantic
This training blends dance technique with photography direction, a combination rarely taught but always needed

Why This Program Exists
Couples trust photographers to guide them through romantic movement, dips, spins, lifts, and intimate poses. Yet these moments are rooted in dance technique, and without a true understanding of movement, even the most beautiful moments can appear stiff, unbalanced, or forced.
Zepeda Approved™ was created to bridge the gap between photography and movement, bringing dance-based intention into the way couples are guided and captured.
My goal is simple:
To help photographers create images that feel clean, confident, and timeless.

The Zepeda Approach
This program blends professional dance technique with on-camera posing specifically designed for wedding couples. The goal is to give photographers a clear understanding of how movement truly works, allowing them to confidently guide couples into positions that feel elegant, natural, and effortless.
Unlike traditional posing education, Zepeda Approved™ focuses on:
• Movement safety
• Proper body alignment
• Seamless transitions between poses
• The subtle micro-adjustments dancers use to create clean, refined lines
• Avoiding common engagement and wedding photo mistakes
This program was created after years of watching photographers unintentionally guide couples into awkward, or even unsafe, dips and lifts. It’s time to bring intentional movement awareness into the photography industry.
