Yes, that is a real amount, but full transparency it wasn't in one year! This isn't a flex about money, instead it is a story to provide insight and hopefully some inspiration.
As we approach the 5th anniversary of our wedding photography & videography business we decided to reflect on the crazy journey we have been on and discuss all the highs and lows of starting a business, learning how to be photographers and filmmakers and trying to balance everything life throws at you!
When we first started shooting weddings we had zero experience in professional photo / video, we had never worked in the wedding industry and we had never worked in a business environment or started a business. We discuss all of the things we learnt, the highs and lows we experienced, discuss what we would do differently and openly share the leads, bookings and revenues we were able to generate.
This is the first half of what will be a 2 part podcast, because as you will hear a lot has happened in those 5 years!

In this episode we don't reveal any secrets, we discuss small behaviours and attributes which make a huge difference in your wedding photography and videography business.
We are on the road and recording this in the car, so it doesn't quite sound the same, but it is a great conversation so we hope it helps to remind you of the things we can all be doing to provide a first class service to our couples.

In this episode it is all about taking those enquiries and turning those into jobs that allow us to do what we love for a living!
This is no accident, it isn't by chance. To have a successful and sustainable business there needs to be an intention and methodology behind this and this is a process that you should put in place - whether it is highly structured or loose and relaxed.
Our conversation is a little long because we want to openly discuss our ways of communicating and the way we structure things so that you can take things away to directly implement into your business.

In this weeks episode we discuss and share our top ten tips to help you achieve a successful wedding day.
