Why I won’t be just a wedding photographer

Advice.

When you start a business the amount of advice is overwhelming. Advice about programs to use, advice about websites, advice about business names, advice about money, advice about how pricing, advice about ABSOLUTELY.EVERYTHING!!

One piece of advice that comes up quite a bit, for wedding photographers, is to consider having two separate social media accounts. One for your wedding work and one for your other work, families, maternity, newborns, whatever it may be.

Now not only does this give me the nervous sweats because I barely have the capacity to manage one account, it has just never sat well with me.

Yes I do weddings and I bloody love them.

Yes I do families and I bloody love them too.

And I don’t believe they need to be mutually exclusive.

Meet Jordan and Jelena, you will see them feature on my website and socials quite a bit and this is why

I first met them at the end of 2019, we trespassed into an abandoned house and created this magic.

I then shot their elopement a year later. A classic covid wedding tale…they planned a bigger celebration. Covid was an asshat and they eloped instead.

I then shot Jelena’s beautiful bump. Where I made them sit in a river and get soaking wet on a Friday afternoon.

And just this last month I captured them at home with their beautiful new baby Andrei…he was newborn perfection!

And that is why I don’t want to slice the two down the middle.

Each stage…different times but captured with the same intent.

From a photographers perspective not sure there is any greater compliment than repeat clients, as an added bonus it also means I sometimes get to snuggle newborns…and then hand them back!

So if you do choose me as your wedding photographer, just know, I am more than happy to be your third wheel for years to come.
