Last week I announced that I would be ending my podcast series at the end of this month and explained some of the reasons why. I’ve been juggling a lot of things over the past few years - a wedding photography business, a YouTube channel, a full-time job and being a father, as well as my wedding photography coaching program. But before I sign off, I want to share with you one more revelation I’ve had in the last few months - Facebook Messenger chatbots. I really believe that this is the future of marketing in the wedding photography industry and provides an effective way to get leads and communicate with prospective clients. Since establishing my chatbot, I’ve been getting 4-5 leads per day and chatting directly with customers about their wedding photography needs. I’m currently creating a curriculum to help other wedding photographers and vendors implement chatbots into their business and utilize it as a marketing tool. To learn more, check out the free masterclass at www.weddingchatbots.com and get on the c

As they say, “You can do anything but you can’t do everything”. So I sat down and decided where I could utilize my time in the most effective way possible and have the most impact. I plan on continuing my YouTube videos, as I’ve found the visual content is more user-friendly than audio, and I’ll also be continuing my Wedding Photography Coaching program. This boot camp-style program is designed to help new wedding photographers fast-track their business, from just starting out to booking their first 10 weddings. So if you’re struggling to get things off the ground, let’s connect and see if I can assist you in any way. I want to thank all of my listeners - both new ones and those who have been onboard since I started out back in October 2015. This isn’t “goodbye” forever but just for now.

It’s easy to always be comparing ourselves to our competition in wedding photography. You might be following other wedding photographers on Facebook and Instagram or you’re going to networking events where you’re meeting them and being exposed to their work. But constantly comparing yourself to others can harm your confidence and ultimately hurt your business. In this podcast episode, I’ll explain why focusing on what I needed to do to be the best photographer I could be has contributed to my success and helped me to stay in business for so long. Particularly if you’re in a big, competitive market, what good is it to be constantly worrying about what others are doing, rather than focused on what your next step is. There’s a fine line between understanding why clients might go with another photographer instead of you and caring about who your competitors are. More importantly, you should be learning from your own mistakes, discovering ways you can stand out and focus on serving your clients to the best of your

This April marks 12 years since I got into wedding photography and in that time, so much has changed. But to be honest, a lot of the things I was doing back then are still fundamental to the success of my business today and haven’t changed at all. In this podcast episode, I’ll share with you some of the things I’ve been doing for the last 12 years that have helped me to become successful in wedding photography. These include providing great customer service, taking high-quality photographs, collecting reviews and taking advantage of SEO. I’ll also share with you what has changed and why such as no longer going to networking events or worrying about what my competitors are doing. As my lifestyle and priorities have changed, I’ve also had to become more efficient and focused on the way I run my business. By sharing with you what’s changed and what has stayed the same, I want to highlight the importance of finding a balance and understanding what works for you. While you need to adapt to changes taking place in
