The Business of Wedding Photography
After becoming a successful wedding and portrait photographer in Southern California, I have taught several people about photography over the years and loved the process of seeing them grow in their craft and also grow their income with common sense business practices. I started from the bottom and had no schooling in photography. Just a youtube account and an old Sony camera. I handed out my cards while I was a bartender and built my business into one of the most trusted photographers in the Temecula Valley Wine Country. The main thing that helped me with my success was delegating and outsourcing tasks so that I could focus on growing the business and having a better work life balance. I think every entrepreneur can relate with the fact that you pour your life into your business and sometimes it can consume you completely. You want to control every aspect of it, but I am here to tell you that if you do not outsource for your business, you will not grow. I'm going to teach you how to rework your mindset and implement the practices I used to grow a sustainable business and take amazing photos. I will go over: âĄHow to choose your gear âĄHow to edit for a timeless look and the presets I made to achieve that âĄHow to manage clients and what "client management software" I use âĄHow I outsourced my photo editing and communicate with my editors âĄHow I outsourced my video editing and managed my editing team âĄHow I brought on associate photographers and videographers so I could double book dates âĄHow I outsourced my social media to an IT team in India which made my socials grow double the followers in just two months âĄHow to automate your emails for proposals, gallery delivery, and client outreach âĄHow to forecast your income and implement a payment plan for your clients so you are consistently getting payments all month âĄHow to network and make new relationships with venues and other vendors âĄHow to manage data storage with shooting 50+ weddings a year âĄHow to structure your website for SEO on Google
