44:08

As photographers and business owners, continuous growth is the name of the game. What gets in the way of this growth are the blindspots we all have.

48:29

Luxury weddings involve so many great things like travel, amazing experiences and glamorous events.

When you work in the fast-paced, demanding world of luxury weddings, it’s easy to run on reactivity - to act first and then think later.

4M ago34:55

34:55

Offer a discount, drop your rates, or put more into the package - this is what most people will do when they want to get more business.

How to Strip Success Down to the Exceptional Essentials w/Steph Kadlicko 58:11

6M ago58:11

58:11

In this business, the biggest leaps don’t come from adding bells and whistles to our approach. They come from stripping what we do down to the clearest, most actionable and exceptional basics. Going an inch wide and a mile deep produces more profound results than going a mile wide, an inch deep. When you really think about it, we spend 10% of our t…

45:20

Just like dress trends and decor trends, weddings and how they are planned have gone through a huge evolution of their own. How the special day was crafted used to be formulaic and predictable.

In an industry like wedding photography, “there are as many opinions as there are planners”. It's easy to get caught up in groupthink and herd mentality.

48:11

Obsessive craftsmanship, storytelling, collaboration. If we could sum up wedding photography, it would be in these 4 words.
