E29 | How we made £250,000 shooting weddings from NO experience!
05/02/22 • 83 min
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!
The wedding mavericks podcast is a great place to learn, discuss and help you grow your wedding photography and videography business . We discuss all aspects of running a sustainable and successful business as well as the creative and technical aspects of wedding filmmaking and photography.
