In 2017 I had a friend approach me and ask if I was interested in shooting his brothers wedding. I did have a camera but I was not equipped to shoot the best day of a couples life. I certainly was not prepared to answer the next question I was asked….How much would you charge? I had zero idea what the rate for something like that was and even worse I had zero experience so we settled on $300 and I dove in trying to learn every possible thing I could about how to properly capture such a special day. Well that wedding booked me 5 more the following year, with no clue how to grow or run a business I took it one step at a time. 5 weddings turned into 10+ the following year and here I am 5 and a half years later and still have no clue how I got here. Looking back there are things I wish I could have done to make learning this craft easier like becoming a second shooter or getting a job at a studio but I am so grateful for all the experiences I have had trying to teach myself how to keep this thing going. I have learned more about how to deal with clients and how to market my business as well as developing one on one connections with wedding professionals that I may not have been able to by working under someone else. In the thick of 2021, I was on pace to shoot a record number of weddings and It got me thinking about what the ceiling of this company could be. I could continue to shoot 25-35 weddings a year and forfeit half the weekends a year to shooting or I could try and scale another way, by leaning into what I know I am good at while being able to focus on what I want this business to become. So in mid 2021 I committed a cardinal sin for companies that have built traction and a reputation….I rebranded. I changed the name so I can bring on other creatives to do this along side of me so we can deliver the best experience possible for our clients. I met Cameryn 5 years ago, we started our companies round the same time and have really grown over the last few years. When we rebranded she was the very first person on my mind to bring on the team full time. I think together we are a really strong team that is fully committed to you our couples and making your dreams come true. We are not like most “studios” we are a very small group of creatives who trust each other and are committed to delivering the best content possible so you will love to look at your photos and videos for years and years. This also allows us to expand our reach from Charlotte North Carolina to as far south as Tampa Florida and hopefully beyond. We know this is just the beginning but our dreams are big and we hope to one day expand beyond the creative space into a full wedding company committed to helping couples have the wedding of their dreams. I have been in the wedding business for over 5 years now and I have been planning a wedding of my own and I know how hard it all is. We want to make this the most pain free experience you can have and share with you the greatest day of your life.
